Football Preview: Berkeley Yellowjackets vs. De Anza Dons

Suggested Video

The Berkeley Yellowjackets will venture away from home to challenge the De Anza Dons at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. De Anza took a loss in their last game and will be looking to turn the tables on Berkeley, who comes in off a win.

Berkeley is headed out to face De Anza after opening their season at home and giving their fans just what they were looking for. Berkeley snuck past Dublin with a 14-10 victory on Friday.

Berkeley wouldn't let Dublin keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force two fumbles. Jin Jones was the leader in that area as all came courtesy of his dominant performance. His also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up four sacks, forcing two fumbles, and making seven total tackles.

Meanwhile, De Anza had to suffer through a 48-6 loss at the hands of St. Vincent de Paul. While losing is never fun, the Dons can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' California football rankings (they are ranked 785th, while the Mustangs are ranked 147th).

Everything came up roses for Berkeley against De Anza in their previous matchup back in September of 2023 as the team secured a 41-14 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Berkeley since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
