Sabers Awards Celebration 2022

6/2/2022

 
通常の状況下で...
Under normal circumstances, the SOIS community - students, parents, faculty, staff - are invited each year to the Sabers awards celebration, held in the theater and cafeteria, with over 100 people attending this fun event. Circumstances are not quite normal yet, but on June 2, 2022, for the first time in three years the Sabers athletic department held an in-person Sabers Awards Celebration, this time outdoors in the courtyard. The attendance was lighter than usual, but the atmosphere was festive and the Sabers community came together to celebrate a successful year of sport as we slowly move back to some semblance of normalcy.

The purposes of the event were to celebrate our Sabers sporting year, to say farewell to a few Sabers coaches,
and to present our two traditional two-schools athletic awards.

For more information about the Sabers Awards, please visit the Sabers Awards webpage.


Special thanks and farewell to departing coaches:
  - Mr. Derek Entwistle (19 years at SOIS)
  - Ms. Leanne Entwistle (22 years at SOIS)
  - Mr. Michael Warford (2 years at SOIS)


Congratulations to these deserving Sabers student athletes.

Sabers nine place 2nd at WJAA

6/2/2022

 
May 6-7, 2022
Congratulations to Coach Sagara, Coach Algie, and the Sabers varsity and JV baseball teams on fine showings at the WJAA tournament at Canadian Academy on May 6-7. The Sabers varsity team finished in 2nd place, losing in a close championship game against the host Falcons. The JV team won 1 game on Saturday 
to finish in 5th place out of 6 teams. This was the first high school tournament in over 2 years, so it was a special and fun day.
お疲れ様でした, Sabers!

Sabers baseball: undefeated so far

4/24/2022

 
Moth balls kept their uniforms fresh and, for the first time in three years, since COVID-19 shut down Sabers competition against other schools in the spring of 2019, the Sabers high school baseball team donned those uniforms to play official WJAA games on Saturday, April 23, 2022, at Canadian Academy in Kobe. As defending WJAA champions, the Sabers continued their winning ways in a morning double header, defeating Marist Brothers International School 16-4 and then Canadian Academy 3-1.

Coach Sagara had some tempered praise for the team, post game. "We batted and fielded well against the Bulldogs. But we struggled over the first several innings against the Falcons, in all phases of the game. We gave up too many walks and had some mental lapses on the base paths. But eventually our bats woke up to give us a lead, our pitching got stronger, and our fielding helped us close out the victory. I'm proud of the team."

The Sabers play in the WJAA championship tournament to be held at Canadian Academy, May 6-7, 2022. 
Go Sabers!

Sabers HS soccer teams compete at AISA 2019

4/11/2019

 
SABERS GIRLS: 2019 AISA CHAMPIONS! 
Boys finish 3rd.
​
Boys recap: A relatively young Sabers boys soccer team placed a respectable 3rd at the 2019 AISA soccer tournament held in Yokohama. After going scoreless on day 1, the Sabers boys soccer team found themselves in a tie for 2nd place in their pool and facing a tiebreaking "kicks from the penalty mark" shootout with KIS early Saturday morning. For a young team, this might have been a nerve-wracking experience, but the Sabers were calm, not even bothering to put on their uniforms, and won the shootout to advance to the semifinals, where they lost to eventual champions Yokohama International School. All-tournament team members were Neo Yokoyama, Kentaro Okuda, and Taishi Fukuda. A big thank you to Coach Entwistle and Coach Nikolic. 

Girls recap: The Sabers girls soccer team went undefeated through pool play and the semifinals, but they gave up a goal in each match. The defense tightened up in the finals, holding the host Korea International School Phoenix to a scoreless draw. The Sabers prevailed in an exciting "kicks from the penalty mark" shootout, 3-1, to repeat as AISA champions. All tournament team members were Leona Yanagi, Keito Iuchi, Ririko Okuno, and Nanami Hasegawa. Special congratulations to Coach Kono who single-handedly coached the team this year. Thank you to chaperone Matsuda-sensei.

Original announcement
