Football season isn’t quite over yet in the Pacific. Neither are volleyball, cross country and tennis, at least in Korea.

Humphreys, crowned last Friday as DODEA-Pacific Division I football champion, heads to Guam for a Saturday postseason clash against Guam High. It’s being called the DODEA-Pacific West Inafa’maolek Game, inafa’maolek being a Chamoru word for “to make good.”

Meanwhile, Korea’s season-ending league tournaments take place Friday and Saturday:

Tennis is at Osan, boys cup volleyball and cross country are at Cheongna Dalton in Incheon, girls cup volleyball at Seoul International, boys plate volleyball at Daegu and girls plate at Dwight School Seoul.

Saturday’s football game was arranged after Guam High (3-3) was notified it could not play in the island playoffs because the league ruled it had forfeited two games during the season.

Guam High “is approaching the game with a little extra fire and plan to showcase their talents as they have done all season,” assistant coach Greg Jacobs said.

The two forfeits were not entirely the Panthers’ fault. They were to open the season Sept. 12 at George Washington, but their equipment returned from certification in the States too late for the Panthers to have their requisite number of practices.

The second came about because of the government shutdown, which shelved all DODEA-Pacific athletics for a week. The Panthers were scheduled to play Simon Sanchez on Oct. 4. Neither game was rescheduled.

“They’re bummed about not being able to play for the island championship, but are grateful to have an opportunity to play another game,” Jacobs said.

The game will start at 7 p.m., the same time as the island championship game between nine-time defending champion Father Duenas Memorial and George Washington.

Humphreys beat defending D-I champion Kubasaki 9-0 last Friday and Blackhawks coach Reggie Meno says he, his players and his staff plan to approach the game as they would any other.

“We plan to not take them lightly,” Meno said. “They (Panthers) play against some of the toughest public school teams on Guam.”

The game will make the Blackhawks the only DODEA-Pacific large schools team to play against all teams at the Division I level this season. It’s also the first matchup between the two schools.

Guam High tends to be confined to playing only teams on island, as plane flights to and from Guam are much more expensive than travel between Japan, Okinawa and South Korea.

Facing a team they’ve not played, the Blackhawks plan to “stay disciplined with our gameplan, fundamentals and mechanics,” Meno said.

Saturday’s gametime forecast calls for highs in the high 80s with occasional showers.

Sunny skies and temperatures in the mid-60s are on tap Saturday in Korea for the league cross country finals. Humphreys’ Ammon Allen and Annelise Parker stand as favorites to win their respective races.
