DHS Football concludes exciting home season
The Dublin Gaels finished their best season since 2004 powered in large part by an impressive 6-1 record at home, including a 40-0 victory over its arch-rival Dougherty Valley and a 35-7 North Coast Section playoff victory over Ukiah.
It was a lot of fun serving as the team’s public address announcer and to see the record crowds all season enjoying the success of the team along with the excellent performances by our award-winning marching band and national qualifying cheerleading squad. In fact, considering that I also had the opportunity this year to serve as part of the TV30 broadcast team for the high school football game of the week, I attended games at high schools througout the Tri-Valley. I can honestly state that nothing rivals the atmosphere of Dublin High School. It has long been common knowledge that we have one of the most thrilling Homecoming festivities with the Parade down Village Parkway followed by the massive Carnival, but on a weekly basis nothing rivals the quality experience of attending a game at DHS. Starting with the impressive quality of the playing field and spectator sections, to the excellent snack bar, the noise and size of the crowd, and the excellent performances throughout the game by the band, cheerleaders, and football team, it is a great event for the entire community. If you didn’t catch the action this year hopefully you can make it out next season.
I want to wish the Gaels the best of luck as they advance in the North Coast Section playoffs, and since we’re talking DHS Athletics I also want to recognize the Girls’ Golf Team for winning the DFAL League title in only the 4th year of the program’s existence. Congrats!
