Army Football looks for second win next week at Eastern Michigan

The Army Black Knights Football team lost a tough contest to Kent State 31-17 on October 13, but the team at 1-5 has battled very well in four of their games and has plenty of reasons to remain focused for their last six games of the regular season.

Army averages 385 yards per game on the ground, and is looking to improve on their 67 yards per game passing statistic. The team remains disciplined with low penalty count and has a very strong 48 percent conversion rate on fourth down.

The Black Knights also have a solid 5-for-7 field goal tally so far.

Army Football tops BC 34-31

Call it long overdue, call it an upset -- we say it was a great Army Black Knight Football win over Boston College!

Army looks for their second win of the 202 campaign, hosting Kent State on October 13.

Tie score in Army-Navy Cup shows sportsmanship

Army and Navy Men's Soccer tied 1-1 in the inaugural Army-Navy Cup held before more than 3,500 fans in Philadelphia. It was an electric atmosphere and a result that while might not work in all sports, was something college soccer fans could all feel good about.

Nick Dubee put the Midshipmen up 1-0 in the 52nd minute; Michael Kim played hero for the Black Knights in the 87th minute.

Winston Boldt has seven saves for Army; Gavin Snyder stopped three for Navy.

Both squads are back in action next week.

September 11, 2012

We love playing baseball, watching baseball, talking baseball. This game is the great unifier -- brings all types of folks together in a safe and fun environment with a common purpose: having fun. Some of the our best and most loyal fans are those in the military, public service and/or jobs who in some way change lives and saves lives.

September 11 is a time we reflect on those brave, kind men and women who didn't get to see September 12, 2001. It's also a chance for us to look around and say thank you to our neighbors, whether they serve in the Armed Force, or the local Police, Fire Department, Safety -- and also the countless other folks who set their own lives, goals and dreams aside to help improve the lives of others.

It's good to have different options; have healthy debates; get involved in organizations -- what baseball and honoring those who allow us to live in a free country to enjoy sports reminds us is this: we remember and honor those who keep this community and country free. They deserve that from all of us.
With sincere gratitude,

Justin Lacche
