Highlights

The main focus has to be Block 11.

Not only is powerhouse Hotoku there, but three Nishinomiya teams are all grouped together.

In Blocks 5 and 8 as well, if the teams keep winning, we might get to see Nishinomiya vs. Nishinomiya matchups.

We hope every school gives it their all.

By the way, three high schools from Nishinomiya have won the Summer Koshien in the past.

Hotoku Gakuen probably comes to mind right away, but do you know the other two?

If you’re curious, be sure to look them up.
