Miramonte hosted Acalanes today, and it was another rough day at the office for the Dons. Though several of the matches were very close, it felt like the wins were slipping through our fingers.

The varsity Dons lost a close 7-6 battle to the Piedmont Highlanders on Thursday to drop their season record to 8-4. They were missing star senior center fielder Emme Young as the squad narrowly lost a back and forth, cliff hanger of a game. The girls came out strong in the first inning to take an early 2-0 lead. Sophomore…
Today was an extremely tough day for the team. After suffering our worse loss of the season, we were then given the tragic news about the passing of an Acalanes classmate, Amin Noroozi. Though I did not personally know Amin, fellow school staff members have told me only amazing stories about him as not only a student, friend and citizen…
It was a cold and windy day, a day you had to fight hard to find success, and in Amin’s honor that is exactly what the team did, the girls beating Northgate 81-53 and the boys winning 91-44. The girls and boys 4×100 relay teams started the meet with victories and Amin’s throwing brothers completed the ‘Amin Sweep’, a 1-2-3…

The young Dons pulled off the upset with a late comeback after trailing earlier in the match. In the last group, Grant Gebhardt (So) shot a team season low -3 (33) and Krish Veluthakkal (Fr)…
The Lady Dons faced a solid opponent last night, as the sun set over a bucolic Piedmont lacrosse field. “Where are all the weeds?” asked a visiting spectator. I don’t think they’re allowed on those 15 square miles of earth. Here are the quick stats: · Persephone (#76) – 4 saves · Chloe (#65) – 3 saves · Talia (#47) – 6 for…
