These boys are looking and feeling DONtastic! Over 50 freshmen are making up the fall football team this Fall for the Dons. All first timers to the tackle football. The nature of tackle football is simply more in-depth compared to flag – there are more intricate techniques, schemes and plays, a higher level of physicality, etc. And these Dons are…
The bad news is that the freshmen lost a football game to Campolindo 20-12. The good news is that the Dons more than held their own in the trenches – on the offensive and defensive lines. This bodes well for the future. While it was an off day for the passing game, Acalanes ran the ball all over the place.…
With key players out for the Dons, it was great to see other players step up and assume an expanded role. EITAN ROMICK filled in for KEEGAN GODDARD at running back and was spectacular. ROMICK ran effectively both between the tackles and outside on the option pitch for a total of 209 yards rushing. Wow! Awesome to see the offensive…
The slant pass from quarterback DAVID GONZALES to wide receiver JB FROLICH has been a good play for the Dons this year. Against Heritage it was a great play as Acalanes rolled to a 26-0 halftime lead and beat Heritage by a final score of 38-26. GONZALES repeatedly found FROLICH on the slant in the first quarter and two times…
The Dons took care of business against Monte Vista winning by a score of 28-14. JAKE COLACO got his first start at quarterback and seemed comfortable immediately. COLACO threw two touchdown passes both to NIKO WHITE. WHITE AND KEEGAN GODDARD ran up and down the field all game long with WHITE finishing with 166 all purpose yards and GODDARD with…
The Acalanes Freshmen played their hearts out against a bigger, stronger California High team, but came up just short on the scoreboard losing 16-14.

The Freshman Dons played great defense against Rancho Cotate and picked up their first win of the season. Final score was an impressive 46-7. A number of defensive players burst on the scene with outstanding performances. JONAH RIVERA at defensive line was a force to be reckoned with.
