In 2/3 of an attempted four team scrimmage, the Acalanes Varsity shut out Deer Valley and Vallejo, then headed home early when Granada was eliminated for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. The scrimmage format is a bit different, with each team getting half of the time on offense and half of the time on defense. Since Granada left early, the Dons had two offensive and…
