Game on! Torii Bowl slated for July 31 at Yokota
Published: July 23, 2010
Now, it can be told -- the U.S. Forces Japan-American Football League's championship game will take place on July 31 at Yokota, after all.
The South Division champion, either Joint Task Force or defending league champion Foster, to be crowned Saturday at Kubasaki High School's Mike Petty Stadium, will travel next week to play the North Division champion Warriors at 4 p.m. July 31 at Yokota High School's Bonk Field.
Initially, a July 31 game at Yokota was ruled out because sports and fitness center staff is supporting another event. So as at every South Division home game, this will be a do-it-yourself effort, as Coach Selwyn Jones said his Warriors would provide the support needed, lining the field, filling water buckets, etc., post-game cleanup, etc.
A tip of the hat to Yokosuka MWR which had offered Berkey Field just in case.
But Yokota gets its home championship game, hosting the Torii Bowl for the first time, and hoping the fourth time will be the charm; the Warriors lost their three previous trips to the Torii Bowl. And the South Division will vie to make it two straight Torii Bowl victories for Okinawa teams.
