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 urges 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.

  5. Your Coach WIlliams hasn’t attended an All-League meeting since 2006 I believe. Either he doesn’t feel like he has All-Leaguers or he doesn’t know there’s a meeeting. Either way time to fire him. There’s way too much talent at DeAnza.
