@Deens: They're gonna be at the island? State? championship, or somesuch. I doubt it's going to reach much of a non-Japanese speaking populace, but the only cultural associations that seemed needing dodging were, like:
-Integrated, considering generally it's thought of as "the opposite of segregated" particularly in American English (which predominates here)
-Merged because I thought it implied a co-ed school, which doesn't even work because sports teams are distinctly not co-ed
-Mixed somehow invokes both of the above, so, nah,
-Amalgamated sounds like we were the first school in Japan to fuck up the singularity
-Combined was my first suggestion, Comprehensive has positive connotations if you aren't familiar with any British associations

peace to the unsung peace to the martyrs | i'm johnny rotten appleseed
clouds is shaky love | broke as hell but i got a bunch of ringtones
eyes blood red bruise aubergine | Sue took something now Sue doesn't sleep | saint average, day in the life of
woke up in the noon smelling doom and death | out the house, great outdoors
staying warm in arctic blizzard | that's my battle 'til I get inanimate | still up in the same clothes living like a gameshow
