Amador Dons opened their 1965 football season with a tie against Ygnacio Valley. Fullback Dave Newton made the first touch- down. Quarterback Ed Kobayashi threw a 12-yard pass to Joe Theodore for the sec- ond TD. Both kicks were made by Ray Calija. In the closing minutes of the game, Jerry Smith pounced on a loose ball to save Amador and give the Dons a tie game. Ygnacio Valley 0 7 0 7--14 Amador 7 0 7 0--14 Nineteen sixty-five marked an unforget- table football season for Amador Valley High School. The varsity eleven took a second place, while the JV's took EBAL honors for a third straight year. Led by All- League choices Ray Calija, Jim Krause, Dave Newton. Bob Ripley, Al Smith and Joe Theodore, the Dons scored 126 points while holding nine opponents to 89 points. The Dons held five straight league wins and looked as if the EBAL title would be- come Amador's. Yet the Liberty Lions broke the winning streak and gave the Dons their first loss. The final game was the disappointment of the year, with poor weather conditions and a long fought sea- son, Amador lost its last game to Liver- more. With a 5-3-1 record, Amador varsity placed a little honor under the purple-and- gold record and forced the EBAL league not to underestimate Amadors abilities. Dons hit as hard in the Ygnacio game as they did in the game against Granada.
