The De Anza High School Dons, a much-maligned football team, got clobbered in their homecoming night game. But the full story does not show up in the box score.
The Dons were blown out 49-7 by a much better Alameda High School team. The Dons gave up hundreds of yards, but never yielded an inch when it came to heart.
Defensive coordinator Damariea Blanchard implores his players to continue their intense play.
They came in 0-9, and they left 0-10. Most of the 23 players who suited up were seniors, playing possibly the last organized football game of their lives.
After the game, Coach Mike WIlliams said he was proud of his boys for never giving up. Anyone who watched that night couldn’t help but agree.
