Let’s face it, the fires raging in Northern California are no joke and neither is the smoke that has covered the state and caused so much bad air for all of us over the past couple of years. But like so many challenges that we’ve all faced recently, this too can be an obstacle that brings us together and make…
This Friday, September 3 the Acalanes Dons (Varsity and JV) will have their first home game against Rancho Cotate and Frosh Dons will play away on Thursday, September 2. Friday is also Wiggin’ Out for the Dons Night organized by the Acalanes Student Body and Class Leaders. We are grateful for their support for our football teams and building our…
The offensive line is the foundation for a football team’s offense. When the offensive line plays well, anything is possible. Against Amador Valley, the Dons’ freshman offensive line of ELI LAIRD, DREW McKENZIE, ANDREW TRESSER, JADEN McCLANE and JAKE YOSHINAKA played great. The results were amazing to watch. The offensive line provided quarterback DAVID GONZALES with time to throw the…

All teams (Frosh/JV/Varsity) kicked off the season with scrimmages on Saturday and we look to have three strong…
The JV Dons Football team played in a scrimmage on Saturday vs Granada – It was so great to see the boys back in action in the Fall, when Football is supposed to be played! Don’t get me wrong, I will take High School Football at any time of the year, but it feels right in the Fall… Coach Greg…
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…
You never know for sure how an Acalanes freshman football team will perform in the first scrimmage. It’s tackle football, it’s intense, and most kids in Lafayette have never done this before. Add to this, an opponent from Granada High School in Livermore who has experienced tackle football players. Not an easy task. Well, according to Coach Bill Hansen, the…
Fans returning to sporting events, this week for scrimmage games for Fall Sports is a huge boost to morale for the players and even parents & fans. With the unique experiment of play in small crowds (just mom, dad & siblings in the spring sports), we now have an opportunity to know what difference a crowd makes to our teams…
