Tom Joyce reports at Lifezette on yesterday’s Army-Navy game:
The Army, which honored the 10th Mountain Division with their
uniforms on Saturday, ran for 221 yards on 49 carries while the Navy, which
honored the Blue Angels, ran for 294 yards on 46 carries. . . .
Thanks to the team's win
and its victory over the Air Force Falcons earlier in the season, the Army
received the Commander-in-Chief's Trophy, which is given to the top military
football school annually. . . .
President Donald Trump
himself tweeted earlier in the day that he would be watching the game.
Following the results, he offered congratulations to the Army's Black Knights. . .
No matter what the teams' records are coming into the game or
which one comes out on top, the American people are still happy to support
these two sides. Without them and the rest of the military academies and the
military overall, there would be no United States, in which citizens are free
to enjoy things like football.
Joyce’s full column, with the President's Congratulatory tweet, is here.
UPDATE: Here's a video of the National Anthem before the game.
