His job has been running the football. But from now on, Tamon Nakamura will concentrate on running a restaurant for his family.
Nakamura rushed for 138 yards and three touchdowns to earn MVP of the game honors as the Asahi Beverage Challengers cruised past the Hosei University Tomahawks 52-13 Wednesday in the national championship Rice Bowl.
It was the first ever national title for Asahi Beverage, which started its football program in 1993. The X League champion extended the company sides' winning streak to five in a row over the college champs. Corporate clubs now hold an overall lead of 10-8.
