Zampese later recalled his days playing for the Dons as follows: "We had a great tradition at Santa Barbara. The stadium was on the school grounds in a little bowl. The town was much smaller then and everyone watched the Santa Barbara Dons on Friday nights. The epitomy[sic] of success was to play for the Santa Barbara Dons. That was as high as you could go."
