so bummed for those Acalanes High School kids their whole season just like, poof gone 
cant believe cardinal newman came back like that 43 consecutive points is crazy 
wasnt expecting that at all 
still proud of deonte littlejohn tho he gave it his all 
now they gotta regroup and come back stronger next year 
so frustrating for those Dons, thought they had it all wrapped up in the first half but couldn't hold on. 43 points straight from Cardinal Newman? wow that's just crazy, gotta give them credit for coming back like that. not sure what Acalanes could've done differently though, their offense was supposed to be on point and they came up short 
. still excited to see what the future holds for these players tho, maybe next year they'll make a deeper run in the playoffs 
. still, gotta give props to those cardinals, they played some sick ball and got themselves into the ncso final 
. hope acalanese can learn from this and come back even stronger next season, maybe then we'll see a rematch? 
. Cardinal Newman's comeback is like what happens when we all come together as a community to support each other - it's inspiring! 
. Anyway, the future looks bright for Acalanes, just like the future of our country needs more unity and cooperation 
.
... Can't believe those kids worked so hard only to get crushed by some other school 
. I mean, 43 consecutive points is crazy, like how did Cardinal Newman even prepare for that? 
Their season was supposed to be all about the Dons being unstoppable, but nope... not this time 
. Poor Deonte Littlejohn, he must be devastated after that game 
.
still loving Deonte Littlejohn tho, he's a superstar 
can't wait to see what the future holds for these young athletes 
theyll b back & strong! thats wut matters, not just 1 season 
cardinal newmans win was insane though! deonte littlejohn did his thang but those 43 consecutive points? wow! 
. I mean, have you ever noticed how some foods just smell so good while they're cooking? Like, my kitchen is always filled with the most amazing aroma when I'm making pasta sauce from scratch 
. Anyway, back to sports... what's up with all these high school football teams and their crazy comebacks? I swear, it's like they have some secret sauce or something 
. Oh, and did you know that you can use pineapple on pizza too? Just saying 
. Cardinal Newman seems to have an inside track on this game... maybe they had some kind of whistle-blower info?
