Football, Class of 2019

Before attending Santa Ana College, Tom Dallape was a co-captain at Mater Dei High School where he won a CIF championship for the Monarchs in 1956.

Dallape continued his winning ways when he was named co-captain of the Santa Ana College football team in 1957 and 1959. In 1957, the offensive tackle led the Dons to the Orange Bowl game where they would defeat San Diego College 20- 13 to cap a quality 8-1-1 season.

After sitting out due to injury in 1958, Dallape came back even stronger as he collected accolades such as Don of the Week, First Team All-Eastern Conference, and First Team All-American during the 1959 season.

Dallape went on to have a successful career after football, starting his own business as a dairyman and becoming one of the best as he collected 37 quality milk awards in 65 years in the profession.

Although Tom has collected many awards in his lifetime, he is most proud of being a father to three successful sons.
