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).

A doppelganger is a mysterious, exact double of a living person. 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.

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…
Last Thursday, I profiled GameChanger and mentioned how we all “know and love” the system. On Tuesday, I was eating those words as the system went down globally just as the Dons took the field to face the Panthers. I jinxed it. Never missing an opportunity, however, I thought jinxes and superstitions would be a perfect article theme. The most famous…
