American School In Japan at Nile C.

South Korea
Seoul American at Osan American, 6 p.m.-A warm welcome back for the Cougars’ Will Rapoza, the last holdover from Osan’s 2005 Class A title team.

Simon Sanchez at John F. Kennedy, 7 p.m.-Wow! What a shocker the Sharks pulled last week on 2003-06 champion George Washington!

Saturday
Guam
Father Duenas Memorial at Southern, 3 p.m.-Defending champion Friars are off to a flying start, thanks to the arm of Will Williams, who tossed two TD passes and caught a pass for another against JFK last week. Should be a long season for the Dolphins. … Friars 21,Dolphins 6.
George Washington vs. Guam High at Naval Station “Big Navy,” 7 p.m.-Are Panthers running back tandem D’Andre Weaver and Brian Sanders and QB Aaron Cosey really ready to conquer the Geckos for the first time in school history?
