NCS playoff excitement… pouring rain… a trip to Piedmont where the Dons would face off against the Highlanders for round one of the Division II playoffs… Regardless of the outcome one could tell it would be night to remember. Appropriately, there was a well-timed break in the rain just in time for the starters to take center field and be…
After a few days of rain, the swim gods smiled on Acalanes Thursday as the swim team began their time trials. This is the first “meet” of the season where everyone clocks times for events to use as a “base” time for the year. The swim team is headed up this year by returning Head Coach NIck Inserra and newcomer…

Tuesday was the rainiest day of the year. Not “grab a hoodie” rain. Not “light drizzle” rain. Biblical rain. The kind of atmospheric river event where the wind blows sideways and the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge feels like a whitewater rafting expedition.

With grit, determination, and…

Diablo equalized moments later. Nickolai restored the lead with a header just before halftime. Despite playing a man down in the second half, the Dons held firm…
In their final away game, the JV soccer team battled Northgate last Tuesday to a scoreless draw. Both sides created chances throughout, but solid defending and goalkeeping—plus a slippery ball from constant drizzle—kept the match deadlocked at 0-0.
Three weeks ago, Clayton Valley came into Lafayette and delivered a 58–13 drubbing so brutal that it barely qualified as a basketball game. It was the kind of loss that makes you question the sport, the season, and whether the rim has been slightly raised when nobody was looking. So no — nobody was exactly thrilled about seeing the Ugly…

On Tuesday 2/10 the Dons faced off…
