KADENA AIR BASE, Okinawa — Just when all seemed lost for the Yokosuka Seahawks, their doctor-quarterback provided the best medicine possible.

Bob Dochery, a 6-foot-6, 280-pounder, scored his second quarterback-sneak touchdown with two seconds left, rallying Yokosuka past Kadena 15-12 Saturday at McDonald Stadium in the first interarea interservice football game played on Okinawa in 5½ years.

"I love that guy," lineman Shavode Walker said of Dochery, a physician at U.S. Naval Hospital Yokosuka. "He plays quarterback, defense, everywhere we need him."

Indeed, Dochery lined up in the interior to give teammates, exhausted by the 83-degree heat, a break. But his key contributions came from behind center. He went 8-for-19 passing for 75 yards, and scored the first of his TDs with 6:17 left, giving Yokosuka an 8-6 lead.

After Kadena’s Mike Christenson scored a 1-yard TD with 3:39 left, "when we said we want it, he said push," Yokosuka lineman Anthony Wilson said. "We were behind. We had to do it. We don’t die."

The Seahawks got an early jump in the first weekend of the newly expanded U.S. Forces Japan-American Football League. The league has six teams for the first time since 2003, and Saturday’s contest was the first of two USFJ-AFL games played at McDonald.

Not since Kadena beat the Misawa Jets at Camp Courtney Bowl in the 2003 playoffs had interarea teams clashed on Okinawa.

"We’re happy these guys came and played us a good game," Dragons coach Will Cupp said. "Nothing tricky. Just good, hard football. We would have been happy with a different outcome, of course."

Carl Harris rushed seven times for 98 yards and had a combined 153 yards for Yokosuka, which had two sacks. Kadena’ Desmond Fagan had 64 yards on 18 carries, Harold Jackson, Veltris Patterson and Reggie Clark recovered fumbles and Perry Davis blocked a punt.

Foster 45, Torii 14: Dyamon Durant scored the last two times he touched the ball, on runs of 55 and 49 yards, and finished with with 209 yards on 14 attempts for the Bulldogs, who recorded seven sacks and returned two of three interceptions for touchdowns.

Frank Bryant and Terry Brawner each threw TD passes, William Massey and Jamar Jarrell each ran interceptions back for touchdowns, Michael Redd blocked a punt and recorded four sacks, and Justin Olgin had two sacks.

The Wolfpack’s Chris Speed caught TD passes of 30 and 29 yards, had an interception and fumble recovery, and gained 269 all-purpose yards.

Misawa 8, Yokota 2: At Misawa Air Base, Japan, the defending champion Jets got 90 yards on four carries from Jamario Patterson, including a 7-yard first-quarter touchdown run, the only offensive points in what Yokota coach Herb Fletcher termed a "defensive struggle."

The only other points came via safeties. The Warriors trimmed the lead to 6-2 in the second quarter when a Misawa punt snap sailed out of the end zone. The Jets capped the scoring when Michael Phillips blocked a Yokota punt into the end zone, where the Warriors covered it.
