It was a beautiful sunny afternoon Wednesday as the Dons welcomed College Park for the season opening meet. First I want to acknowledge all the parents that work at each meet to make it happen – we have parent timers, parent starters, parents working the desk, and parents bringing snacks, setting up and taking everything down. We need dozens of…
On Tuesday, the Varsity Girls Lacrosse team returned home to take on the Monte Vista Mustangs, a team that went 10-7 last year including a 14-6 victory over Acalanes, and ended the year ranked #31 in California. Despite the challenge, the Dons pulled out a 16-10 victory which pushed their record to 3-1 on the season. On offense, the Dons…
The Acalanes Dons JV Girls Lacrosse team battled to a hard-earned 10–8 victory over Monte Vista of Danville in a game that showcased grit, sportsmanship, and relentless offense. Due to Monte Vista’s short roster, the game was played 6 v 6, and in true Dons fashion, we even loaned a few players to ensure a competitive matchup. Despite the adjusted…
On a sun-splashed Tuesday in Lafayette, the yard wasn’t just busy, it was vibrating. You had the packed bleachers, families, fans, and teammates leaning on the fence in the dugout. But more importantly, you had 44 MLB scouts posted up with phones to record and clipboards for note-taking. Now, let’s be clear: they showed up to see the St. Ignatius…

DUBLIN, CA — March 2, 2026 — The Acalanes Freshman Dons (1–3) put 15 runners on base and left nine stranded Monday afternoon, a theme that ultimately defined a 7–3 loss to the Dublin Gaels.

Friday evening the Weekday JV Squad went to Dublin to play “sixes” because Dublin did not have enough players for a full game. These young Dons had never played sixes before but this did not stop them from completely dominating the game 18 to 0 and it was not that close. The Dons did not even attempt a shot in…
