HS American Football Won the Kyoto Championship with a complete shutout of Doshisha Kokusai.

On May 5, 2024, the third round of the Kansai Tournament Kyoto Prefecture qualifiers was held at Ritsumeikan Uji High School's grounds. The Ritsumeikan Uji High School Panthers faced off against Doshisha International Wild Rover and secured a dominant 37-0 victory. With this win, Ritsumeikan Uji will represent Kyoto Prefecture in the Kansai Tournament. Their first match in the tournament will be against the top team from Osaka on June 8.

On a sunny day with temperatures exceeding 30 degrees Celsius, the match began with an offensive push from Doshisha International. Ritsumeikan Uji's defense effectively shut them down. The offense quickly capitalized with successful passes and a run play that led to an early touchdown. Riding the momentum, the team did not allow Doshisha time to mount attacks, adding more points and creating a 24-point lead by halftime with three touchdowns and one field goal. In the second half, even with player substitutions, Ritsumeikan Uji secured two more touchdowns, cementing their victory.
