VICTORY IN JAPAN, 2009 Version

VJ Day took on a whole new meaning for the Kinnick High Red Devils this evening when they bested Kubasaki High School from Okinawa in a 19-16 nailbiter.


















The diehard fans - that would be four mothers along with any father whose ship happens to be in port this weekend - inclined toward giddiness as the clock ticked down. Was it simply reluctance to separate themselves from the glow of their sons' first gridiron triumph which caused them to linger in the bleachers and admire the full moon's reflection in Tokyo Bay? Surely they were not trying to avoid all the traffic associated with the Navy Ball or wondering why the base scheduled that event during a Seventh Fleet deployment.
