Santa Clara welcomes MacDonald to varsity football with 40-0 win

SAN JOSE — It didn’t even take a play from scrimmage for the MacDonald Condors to get a rude awakening to varsity football.

MacDonald, the two-year-old San Jose high school playing in its first-ever varsity game, was set to receive the opening kickoff at home against Santa Clara. Only the Condors never touched it.

Santa Clara recovered the short kick, and the Bruins were off to the races from there. Forty points and one running clock later, MacDonald had a 40-0 home defeat as its welcome mat to varsity competition.
