Senior Andrew Habas got the “flash the leather party” started with a strong, running, over the shoulder catch…

Before we started the Thursday match against the Knights at home, we recognized eight seniors who are close to finishing up their high school tennis careers. Those players are Riley Bonner, Luke Brightbill, Aaron Brown, James Cortez, Liam Fitzpatrick, Ben Reinsberg, Zach Snyder, and Tyler Toni. To say they will be missed would be an understatement. These eight boys have…
Wednesday was a beautiful day for golf, and our varsity golfers squared off against a talented Campo squad at the Moraga Country Club. Unfortunately the Dons came up short (187-214). Junior Jackson Jones was the low Don with a score of 39. We finish up our regular season next week with a tournament Monday and matches against Miramonte (Tuesday) and…

The closet equivalent in baseball today is two minor league players who are both named Brady Feigl, stand 6’4” tall, have fiery red hair, wear glasses, and had the same elbow surgery performed by the same doctor in 2015. Although not quite in that category, there are a number…
Last night, the Dons Boys Varsity Lax team tunneled their way through the Caldecott to take on a perennial nemesis, the Piedmont Highlanders.

Fortunately for Dons fans,…

Busy week for the incredible JV Dons. The team ran its record to 13 wins and 1 loss with three solid victories and 8 and 0 in league. First the ladies beat a very scrappy Miramonte team 19-9 in Orinda. It was close for much of the first half but the Dons outscored the Mats 5 to 1 to end…
