00:00.119 --> 00:03.036
(orchestral music)

00:05.473 --> 00:06.306
- [Game Announcer] There's the snap--

00:06.306 --> 00:08.044
^- [Anthony] The academies of the Army and Navy

00:08.044 --> 00:11.164
^have a football rivalry that goes back over a century.

00:11.164 --> 00:13.306
A smaller-scaled rivalry has also formed

00:13.306 --> 00:14.815
at Goodfellow Air Force Base

00:14.815 --> 00:17.514
between the Army and Navy flag football teams.

00:17.514 --> 00:19.340
This rivalry has been one-sided

00:19.340 --> 00:22.218
as Army is in the midst of an eight-game winning streak.

00:22.218 --> 00:26.030
Army wide receiver Private First Class Zephier Gaines

00:26.030 --> 00:27.839
explained how his team needed to play

00:27.839 --> 00:29.162
to continue the streak.

00:29.162 --> 00:30.085
^- Play good defense.

00:30.085 --> 00:31.906
^We definitely gotta win the game during defense,

00:31.906 --> 00:33.181
^stop them from moving the ball,

00:33.181 --> 00:35.004
^that's very much the way to win.

00:35.004 --> 00:36.435
- [Anthony] On the other side of the ball,

00:36.435 --> 00:38.189
Navy Head Coach and Quarterback,

00:38.189 --> 00:41.563
Petty Officer First Class Cody Sykes shares his strategy

00:41.563 --> 00:43.587
on what it would take to bring home the W.

00:43.587 --> 00:45.753
^- We just need to make sure we pull flags

00:45.753 --> 00:48.540
and just play 100% throughout the game.

00:48.540 --> 00:51.893
We played them in the regular season and we lost by a point,

00:51.893 --> 00:53.581
but we ended up winning the base championship,

00:53.581 --> 00:54.794
so it turned out well.

00:54.794 --> 00:56.904
- [Anthony] The Navy showed off why it turned out so well

00:56.904 --> 00:58.798
by displaying their big play potential

00:58.798 --> 01:00.549
in a strong first half.

01:00.549 --> 01:02.852
The Army didn't let adversity strike them down

01:02.852 --> 01:05.473
and fought back to take the lead 13 to 12.

01:05.473 --> 01:06.756
(whistle blows)
(game timer buzzes)

01:06.756 --> 01:08.156
With less than a minute in the game,

01:08.156 --> 01:10.016
Petty Officer First Class Sykes

01:10.016 --> 01:13.074
used his legs to help drive his team to victory.

01:13.074 --> 01:16.002
- Yahhh!
(whistles blow)

01:16.002 --> 01:20.169
