Navy 34 - Army 6
Commander-in-Chief's Trophy
comes home to Annapolis!
About 120 Naval Academy Alumni and friends gathered at TJ's Sports Bar & Grill in Roswell on December 6th to out-cheer the attending West Pointers and watch Navy win the 104th meeting of Navy and Army on the gridiron. Navy has now won four out of the last five games!
The final score of Navy 34 - Army 6 gets Navy one game away from tying the overall series record which now stands at Army 49, Navy 48, Ties 7. Navy leads the series in total touchdowns and total yardage. In a couple of years we'll lead the series as well!
This year the game was played for the 77th time in Philadelphia, the traditional home of the event. The stadium and field were snow covered earlier in the day, but by game time at 4:00 PM the snow had stopped and the field was clear. Neither did the sub-freezing temperatures did not stop the Navy running game. The Mids, lead by quarterback Craig Candeto, plus backs Roberts and Eckel played a solid running game all day long.
Navy ended their season with an 8-4 record, the best in some time. The Commander-in-Chief's Trophy comes back home to Annapolis for the first time since 1981, and the Navy team is bound for the Houston bowl!
Thanks to Chapter Treasurer Nick Ward '74 for working check-in and to everyone else who helped make Saturday, December 6th another great day for Navy football.
