Sailors from the Center for information Warfare Training (CWIT) Det. Goodfellow and Marines from the Marine Corps det. came together to compete against the Army for their annual Army-Navy rivalry game onboard Goodfellow Air Force Base, Dec. 14. 

From its origin in 1890, the Army–Navy game is one of the most traditional and enduring rivalries in college football, and has led to numerous small rivalry games throughout many military bases. 

Officers in charge from both service branches came to the center of the field for the coin toss, which resulted in the Navy winning the toss, and Navy deferred to take defensive the second half.

The Navy det. scored the first touchdown of the game, going into halftime with a 7-0 lead. 

During the second half, the Army managed to score two touchdowns defeating the Navy with the final score of 13-7.

The Navy team captain, Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (Handling) 1st Class Cody Sykes said, “It was a hard fought game on both sides of the ball. Some calls did not go our way, but the Army played well and things did not go our way this year. It is always a fun experience and I look forward to next year.”

After the game, the players congratulated each other on a well-played game. Both teams are excited for their next game in 2019.
