Army vs Air Force Flag Football Game

The Army played against the Air Force during the second of three Team White Sands Missile Range Flag Football games Nov. 3 at the Sergeant Pedro Field.

Several members of the WSMR community came out to cheer the teams as they battled on the field.

The Military Service Academies share a sports rivalry that dates back to 1890 when the Navy first challenged the Army. Since 1955 all three Academies have battled each other on the gridiron, competing for the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy.

WSMR holds its own series of flag football games for the WSMR Commander’s Cup.

The last game is scheduled as follows:

Dec. 8 Army vs Navy at 2 p.m.
