The varsity football team has made a come back after losing against San Marcos in past years. This year the chain was broken. Football players had their minds set on winning and it showed. The Dons won with a final score of 24 to 10. Senior Greg Domingues said, “It was a tough game, but we won and I was excited.” In the beginning of the game Domingues ran a long run leading to our first touch down. Our football players were confident during the game making touchdown after touchdown. They won, just as they had predicted and took the rivalry trophy home.
Unfortunately we lost against Ventura, 27 to 20. This upset football players because if they had won, the Dons could have been in second place in the Channel League.
When asked what went wrong Domingues said, “We were just flat footed and not as focused as we should of been.” However our loss against Ventura inspired our football players to play well in the next game against DP.
Football players practiced hard and the pressure was on. Before the game, Domingues said, “It’ll be a hard game but we should win.” They came onto the field focused and determined to play. The game would determine if we made it to the CIF playoffs and become city champions.
It was hard to tell who was going to win the game, but finally, the Dons emerged victorious over the Chargers and won 35 to 32. Playoffs here we come! The DP game was our ticket into the CIF playoffs and the Dons will be competing for the championship.
