As De Anza celebrates its 35th anniversary, Athletic Director Charlie Elder is organizing a reunion to honor 35 years of Dons football. The reunion is scheduled to take place during the Nov. 16 game against Hartnell College at 1 p.m.

There will be a pregame reunion including players and coaches from the 1979 team that were ranked No. 1 nationwide.

The past 35 years saw the Dons win 10 conference titles, two state championships, and a national championship in 1979. Five Dons went on to play in the National Football League.
