Since the first game in 1890, the Army-Navy game is one of the best college football rivalries in the nation.
Two respective military academies are meeting face-to-face
on a cold Saturday afternoon. Thousands of fans pack the stadium while the Cadets
and Midshipmen march onto the field. The game begins with the invocation
followed by the national anthem and coin toss. Finally, the whistle blows for
the official kickoff of the game.
For the past 119 years, The U.S. Military Academy at West
Point and the U.S. Naval Academy have put on a show. Both teams are
representing more than just playing football for a military academy. A band of brothers,
preparing to one day serve our country, take the field for a once in a lifetime
opportunity.
Navy has won 60 of those meetings with the last victory being
in 2015. The Midshipmen have been a dominant force this season and are one game
away from winning the Commander in Chief trophy. Could this be the year Navy
takes back where they left off?
Meanwhile, Army is not holding back as it holds a three-game
winning streak. Will the Black Knights have the guts to keep the streak alive?
Generations of players have left their marks on this game
since its start. Greats such as Joe Bellino, Roger Staubach, Ronnie MCada, Mike
McElrath, Keenan Reynolds and Ahmad Bradshaw. Today, the torch has now been passed
on to the new generation. Kelvin Hopkins Jr. (Army) and Malcolm Perry (Navy) have
had monumental careers in the last four years. What kind of legacy will they
both leave behind at the end of the game on Dec. 14, 2019?
A brotherhood gathers
for one of the best-known rivalries in college football history and a game that
could go on for another 119 years. Two teams, two coaches, two institutions and
two branches of the armed forces are ready for battle. Who will come out
victorious and listen to their alma mater at the end of the 2019 Army-Navy Game?
