-- Guam High 42, John F. Kennedy 0: To be expected; Panthers had a belly full of fire after last week's home loss to Father Duenas Memorial. Brunson was beasting out there.

-- Zama American 46, Daegu American 38: What a ballgame. Haven't seen a shootout like that in 26 years. Michael Spencer and the Zama ground machine win out over David Martinez and Daegu's spread option.

-- George Washington 18, Father Duenas Memorial 8: It wasn't a dominant victory, but the Geckos completed the job.
