WEST POINT, N.Y. – The Army West Point sprint football team will close out the 2016 season in Annapolis, Md., competing against service academy rival Navy for the Gold Star as part of the Star Series presented by USAA on Friday at 7 p.m.
The 77th edition of the rivalry features the Collegiate Sprint Football League's (CSFL) top offense in Navy and the league's top defense with Army. Each side is second in the respective categories.
This is the first time since 2006 that the winner of the Army-Navy game will automatically clinch at least a share of the league championship when Cornell won the title.
