As we kick off the second half of the X1 Area schedule, though the weather is finally cooling off (it has been Mississippi hot here since June) in Japan, the jockeying for promotion and relegation position is just heating up, with the Tainai Deers, As One Black Eagles and Dentsu Caterpillars looking to take the pole position in each of their respective divisions.
The goal for each of the top three is to not just win their divisions, but also remain healthy and operating on all cylinders as they head into the post-season. For the bottom teams, Nagoya, Bulls F.C., and the Blue Thunders their goal for the remaining season has to be to try and improve, remain competitive, and for one team in particular, the Bulls, put some points on the board! Yet, even if they don't I know they will try their best.
