Thank you to all who came out to Metro last night for the parent/coach mixer. It was a great time! Go Dons! – Coach Joe and Coach Bruno
I am starting to realize that writing for JV baseball is way harder than writing for Frosh baseball. Why? Not only do I have to get to the field by 3:30 two weekdays per week, but I also have to write twice as many articles since there are no double headers. All of this is my way of saying that…
It was a good day to be a Don and even a better day if you are a Softball Don, as they took down Salesian, 17 to 8 on Wednesday. The game was to be an away game, but as the Salesian field was underwater, the Dons played at home as the visiting team. It didn’t matter, home or…
The rain finally stopped long enough for the Dons to travel to San Francisco to take on Lick-Wilmerding in our first practice match. Acalanes accommodated their host’s match format which is 4 singles and 3 doubles. It was an extremely close match and Acalanes was up 3-2 in the latter stages. It came down to two of our singles lines. …
Wednesday, the Acalanes boys golf team played their first match of the season at the 6th annual Cowboy Classic at Wente Vineyards. The Dons battled the elements and a strong field representing 29 Bay Area high schools. Seniors Luke Dulik, Zach Murdin, Jackson Voogt, and Spencer Voogt, and junior Simon Werner teed it up for the Dons. The team played…
It was a Dons vs Dons matchup on Tuesday night with Girls Varsity Lacrosse taking on a tough, talented Amador Valley squad. In the end, Acalanes lost 10-16, but came away with excellent experience, lessons learned and comfort knowing that they played well against a top-notch opponent. Junior Grace Imrie led the offense with 4 goals and senior Maya Wang…
The Dons opened the season on the road last week in frigid Marin County against perennial powerhouseMarin Catholic and nearby Tamalpais High School. The first game was last Tuesday at Marin Catholic.The temperature was in the 40’s with brisk 25 to 30 mile an hour winds. Yikes! The fans and playerswere freezing. Benji O’Rourke started on the mound for Acalanes.…
Mother Nature held off on her precipitation Saturday for the Acalanes freshman baseball team to begin their season with a doubleheader against the Tamalpais High School Red Hawks. The unproven saying that hitters always lag behind pitchers in the early spring would be a good description of the opening game. Branson Smith started for the Dons, and sat them down…
The Acalanes Girls Lacrosse program has 50 players on the JV Lacrosse team. This amazing team has the new players playing in some weekday games but get their main playing time and a chance to develop on the “Saturday Squad.” On Saturday with most playing in their first organized Lacrosse game they beat the full JV team from Berkeley High…
Instead of playing Mt. Tam at home on Friday as originally scheduled, the Dons traveled to Mill Valley on Saturday where the Frosh team split a double header last year. Although the team fell 5-1, what was even more disappointing was that there was no DJ, unlike last year when we heard classics such as the 80’s TV show theme…
