Acalanes vs. Cal High Sept 12th Our Dons hosted the Cal High Grizzlies for a narrow loss of 12 to 13. As you can see from the score it was a defensive duel. Given all that “D”, let’s start there. Our Dons put a lot of pressure on the QB. Joaquin Bordi (22) had the only recorded sack,…

The JV Dons start the 2024 football season 2-0 with a huge win over Mt. Diablo. The stats for this game are almost unbelievable! Dons defense held Mt.

Acalanes vs. Dublin Aug 5th What a difference a week makes! Not sure if it was just those good “first home game vibes” or the Varsity Tunnel or perhaps a great week of game prep, but some good football was played.

The first of many home games of the season was successful for the Varsity Football Team. The theme of the night was Red, White, & Blue night which matched the colors of the Dons & Cardinals.

And if there was a theme it would have been: “this ain’t flag football boys”. For most of the freshman Dons, this was indeed their first tackle football game; but they hung…
The boys headed to Southern California last Friday to take on the Birmingham Patriots in the Division 3AA State Championship on Saturday and won 35-22 in a contested, epic battle!
