In what has become a bit of an annual treat, a few sekitori sumo wrestlers came to the Sabers gym to join in on the weekly Wednesday night faculty/community basketball game. Perhaps not so quick up and down the court, the 4 rikishi set mean screens, were difficult to box out, and were not afraid to shoot. Commented Coach Routh, "Them boys is wide."

"I'm Atoka Jo. And I'm Mira Ishikawa." 
It was a time of transition in the Sabers TV studio on Wednesday, February 25, 2015, as the Sabers TV audience heard these iconic words for the last time. Four SOIS seniors ended their Sabers TV career with their final broadcast - Atoka, Mira, Miho, and Ayumi all bade farewell on air to their legion of Sabers TV fans. Kaiya, former Sabers TV camera operator, was also in the studio to say good-bye. 

Futsal fans, be sure to come out to the Sabers field Saturday, February 21, 2015, for the annual Sabers Invitational Middle School Boys Futsal Tournament. Cheer on Coach McGill and Coach Stone and the Sabers boys.

On Saturday, February 7, 2015, the Sabers girls and boys soccer teams opened their 2015 campaigns with solid victories, the girls varsity defeating the Marist International School Bulldogs 5-0 (featuring a quick hat trick from Ai Kano), and the boys trouncing the Kyoto International University Flames by many, many goals. 

These were the first WJAA soccer matches held at the Kwansei Gakuin Sanda campus, a new venue for the Sabers. Beautiful setting, beautiful weather, beautiful soccer.
