This past Wednesday, March 4th, we hosted Clayton Valley Charter for our first home Diablo Athletic League (DAL) dual meet. Due to some major unforeseen issues with the timer we hired, the meet ran exceptionally long and there are still a lot of corrections to be made with the results. Huge thank you to everyone who volunteered and participated! As…
Sadly the cold, windy weather made for some tough rounds as the Dons fell to the Las Lomas Knights on Friday. The teams played at Acalanes’ home course, Rossmoor GC, for a 9 hole match, but fell short by 3 strokes. Mike O’Donnell led the team with a top score of 39, followed by Will Condy with a 41 and…
The Dons got their season underway this past week by becoming co-champions of the 2nd Annual Pittsburg Invitational Tournament, a tournament they also won last year. The tournament included all top D1 teams and ended up crowning co-champions because both semi-final games ended in ties, which led to having two “final” games. Dons win Game #1 (3-2) vs. Amador Valley…

An impressive start – Congrats Dons!

Incredible performances in nearly every event from underclassmen, upperclassmen, returning veterans, and complete track newbies!

The Freshman Baseball team opened their season with a double header at San Ramon Valley High last Saturday. A nervous first few innings landed the Dons in a deep deficit, but they managed to find their footing and started to get the bats going. Unfortunately it was a case of too little too late and they dropped the first game…
