Win or go home. High stakes moving forward for this DONS team. On Tuesday night, it was likely their last home game of the season unless they a higher seed upsets a lower seed in the current NCS bracket or they can advance to state. More importantly, they had to defend homecourt first to even keep the season alive. Archie…

If you were at last year’s Senior Night, you know it was going to be hard to top one of the greatest Team Manager Cameo performances of all time by Ori Elbaz (click here).

The DONS (18-5, 8-1) made their way up Moraga Road on a very wet and windy Tuesday evening to face the Miramonte Matadors (11-12, 2-7).

DONS were without some firepower of their own with Senior Captain Maddox Malm missing this…
