Regular Season Round 27: Ryukyu GK - Sendai 89ers 72-80

Date: December 27, 2025
There was a small surprise in Okinawa where sixth ranked 89ers (15-12) defeated 4th placed Golden Kings (17-10) 80-72 on Saturday. Sendai 89ers made 21-of-24 free shots (87.5 percent) during the game. It was a great evening for American guard Jarrett Culver (198-1999, college: Texas Tech) who led his team to a victory scoring 28 points and 7 rebounds. Lebanese guard Sergio El Darwich (194-1996, college: Maine) helped adding 10 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists. Four 89ers players scored in double figures. The best for the losing side was American power forward Jack Cooley (206-1991, college: Notre Dame, agency: Pensack Sports) with a double-double by scoring 16 points and 14 rebounds and the other American import swingman Damyean Dotson (196-1994, college: Houston) scored 14 points. Both coaches tested many bench players and allowed the starting five to rest. Sendai 89ers moved-up to fifth place, which they share with Hiroshima D. and Shimane SM. Ryukyu lost their fourth game in a row. They keep the fourth position with ten games lost. They share it with Alvark Tokyo and Gunma CT. Sendai 89ers will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game. Ryukyu will play against Sendai 89ers (#6) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
