Boys Varsity Basketball: A Season Worth Remembering

"Even great successes come to a natural end" — Isaac Asimov. Friday night in Oakland, the Dons walked into one of the nicest gyms in the Bay Area — the home of the Bishop O’Dowd Dragons, the #1 seed in Division 1. College-level lighting. Polished floors.

Varsity Boys Hoops: Senior Night, Tears, and Sucking in the Guts

Monday night marked the end of an era: Senior Night at Acalanes. It was the final time this senior class would hear their names announced under the bright lights of their home court for the regular season, and the final time their parents would try—and fail—to play it cool while taking enough photos to crash a cloud server.
