Under the warm sun of Hercules, the JV Softball Dons fought hard to propel themselves to victory over the Hercules Titans.
Thursday was easily the nicest weather day we’ve had all year – maybe even a little too warm. The scene was set for a rivalry match featuring the Dons against the Cougars, and the match lived up to the hype. It was close, contentious, and hard fought. It was a day when I felt a coach was needed on most…
Offensive switch gets turned from cold to very hot as the Dons batter the Broncos’ bullpen. The JV squad had a tale of two cities on Tuesday and Thursday afternoon this week against league foe Northgate. Facing the best starter Northgate had to offer In Lafayette on Tuesday, hits were hard to come by, a true winter of despair in…
The Varsity Softball Dons are now half way through their season with a record of 8-4 after a big win over Mt. Diablo on Tuesday winning the game with a final score of 11-4. The Dons won thanks in part to seven runs in the first inning and then cruised the rest of the way to pick up the…
The Varsity Baseball team opened league play on Tuesday against the Northgate Broncos in Walnut Creek. It was a beautiful, sunny day for baseball and the Dons did not disappoint. They jumped out to a commanding 9-0 lead after 5 innings, before cruising to a 9-3 win to push their record to 15-0! Workhorse Peter Thorn got the start on…
After a week off for spring break when some teams return rusty, the Dons showed no signs of rust. The Dons traveled to Fremont and faced the Washington High Huskies Tuesday night.

As of right now, the top of the DAL standings looks like this; #1 Campolindo (6-0), Tie #2 Acalanes and Miramonte (4-2), and #4 Northgate (3-3). The boys are fully aware that we can no longer control our destiny this season. In order for us to repeat as league champions, we have to go 5-0 in the second half. We…
The Dons returned from Spring Break ready to take on San Francisco University High School on the road Tuesday afternoon. Two players in particular, midfielder Lucca DeBiasse and goalie Addie Martin, looked rested and refreshed throughout the game. DeBiasse scored so many goals that we had to research the nicknames for various numbers of goals (more on that later) and…
Make-Up Game More Dark Comedy Than Fans Hoped For. Maybe Petaluma was a little peeved that they had to drive an hour and a half to Acalanes in some rain, play four outs, and then drive another hour and a half home after a torrential atmospheric pineapple river express rained out their non-league matchup with the Acalanes JV a month…
The Varsity Baseball team handily beat the Vintage Crushers in the Championship game of the Concord Classic 7-1 on Wednesday to push their impressive record to 14-0. According to approximately 20 years of Max Preps data and after consulting with local Acalanes historians, this appears to be the greatest start for any Acalanes Varsity Baseball team in the history of…
