The offensive line is the foundation for a football team’s offense. When the offensive line plays well, anything is possible. Against Amador Valley, the Dons’ freshman offensive line of ELI LAIRD, DREW McKENZIE, ANDREW TRESSER, JADEN McCLANE and JAKE YOSHINAKA played great. The results were amazing to watch. The offensive line provided quarterback DAVID GONZALES with time to throw the…
Coming off an incredible three year run where they went 64-3, this new Dons team worked to continue the legacy in a 13-9 victory over Tamalpais High. With only 1 returning starter (Heidi Heffelfinger) the team will have to learn how to play with each other over the season. Heidi led all scorers with 9 goals, with 1 each from…
New coaches Ken Lorge and Cassidy Mulholland got off to an amazing start as the Varsity Girls Golf team defeated last year’s defending champions from College Park on Monday afternoon.

The JV Dons Football team played in a scrimmage on Saturday vs Granada – It was so great to see the boys back in action in the Fall, when Football is supposed to be played! Don’t get me wrong, I will take High School Football at any time of the year, but it feels right in the Fall… Coach Greg…
In 2/3 of an attempted four team scrimmage, the Acalanes Varsity shut out Deer Valley and Vallejo, then headed home early when Granada was eliminated for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. The scrimmage format is a bit different, with each team getting half of the time on offense and half of the time on defense. Since Granada left early, the Dons had two offensive and…
The JV Girls team keep their swagger from last year fully intact as they took on 4 teams in a row at the Campolindo Jamboree this past weekend. Alas, scores were not kept in these preseason matches based on time at 25 minutes each. The fun began with Campo, of course, and ended with Eva McGrath serving up 5 straight points…
You never know for sure how an Acalanes freshman football team will perform in the first scrimmage. It’s tackle football, it’s intense, and most kids in Lafayette have never done this before. Add to this, an opponent from Granada High School in Livermore who has experienced tackle football players. Not an easy task. Well, according to Coach Bill Hansen, the…
