Concord is buzzing with excitement as De La Salle High School has just revealed its highly anticipated 2025 football schedule. And let’s just say, the Spartans are gearing up for a thrilling season ahead with some big matchups set to take place!

The Season Kicks Off with a Rematch

The opening game of the season is one that fans won’t want to miss! On August 29, 2025, De La Salle will face off against the Lakeland Dreadnaughts from Florida. This game is especially significant as it’s a rematch from a nail-biting encounter in which Lakeland clinched victory in double overtime with a score of 31-30. That previous showdown took place at Diablo Valley College right here in Pleasant Hill, California, making this rematch even more exciting!

That earlier game had legendary coach Bob Ladouceur at the helm for De La Salle, while current head coach Justin Alumbaugh was serving as an assistant. It’s sure to bring a wave of nostalgia for fans and players

What to Expect from Lakeland and Beyond

Currently, Lakeland is under the leadership of coach Marvin Frazier, and they finished last season with a strong record of 13-1. Although they fell short in the Florida 5A state finals against St. Thomas Aquinas, they plan to come back stronger this season. Just like Lakeland, De La Salle is looking to improve after wrapping up last season with a 12-1 record, which saw them compete in the CIF State Open Division finals against Mater Dei.

Both teams are set on making this matchup an unforgettable one, and it’s bound to be a must-watch for high school football fans!
