On Sunday, December 24, the National High School American Football Championship "Christmas Bowl" was held at Yokohama Stadium, and the Panthers of Ritsumeikan-Uji High School, representing Kansai, defeated Kosei Gakuen Lotus (Tokyo), representing Kanto, 19-11 to win the championship for the third time in two years. The game started with a loss of an early lead, but the Panthers turned it around in the second quarter with a punt return for a TD from deep in their own end, and the team continued to push until the very end, adding points as a united front. We would like to thank the many supporters who came to cheer on the players, even though the event was held in the Kanto region.
