The boys were back in action today on the road at Clayton Valley Charter. If I didn’t know any better, I would have thought the whole team started the afternoon off with a triple shot of espresso as they were wired for sound before we even started the match. We also had three players who came up ill and had…

The Acalanes Dons boys’ varsity lacrosse team took on their first in-league matchup this year against the Las Lomas Knights. The game began as a defensive stalemate. For the first eight minutes, both squads traded blows in a scoreless tug-of-war.

On a rare Friday evening game, the Varsity Girls Lacrosse team traveled to Walnut Creek to take on the Las Lomas Knights. They left with an impressive 13-4 win, pushing their record to 8-3 on the season.
