Okinawa teams fare well in trips north in a busy weekend of sports across DODEA’s Pacific theater.
Longtime Samurai football and baseball coach now heads Kadena, one of a host of Okinawa-based teams headed to Japan and South Korea for matchups this weekend.
Kubasaki junior got torched in start on unfamiliar field against American School In Japan before recovering nicely against Okinawa rival Kadena.
Kubasaki gets only one baseball victory in series against Japan-based international schools, including trio of losses to team it defeated last year for Far East title.
D’Jhontae Douglas clocked 10.53 seconds on what observers called an “ideal day,” temperatures in the 60s and little to no wind.
Matthew C. Perry senior now holds Pacific mark for 3,200 after record-breaking cross country performances earlier this year. She’s got a better time and 800 and 1,600 marks in her sights as well.
Whether it’s on the track, baseball diamond or soccer pitch, Kadena and Kubasaki each have some athletes looking to leave their marks on the spring sports season.
