When college football fans reflect on the season’s end, they often think of bowl games or playoff matchups. But for many — perhaps more meaningful than any bowl — the season really concludes with one final game: Army vs.

Instead of suffering a soul-crushing loss that would have left a hole in their legacy, Navy football’s seniors found a way to beat Army.

Northview quarterback Colton Bath announced his commitment to play college football at Army. Bath accumulated over 3,000 passing yards, 1,000 rushing yards, and 60 total touchdowns while at Northview.

Army football versus Navy drew millions of viewers in and delivered epic moments, plus sparked multiple reactions across the internet.

Annapolis native and St. Mary’s grad Jack Bousum has no regrets choosing to attend Army over the hometown team. He had a career day Saturday.

Navy came back from a 16-7 second half deficit to beat Army, 17-16, for their second consecutive win over their rivals, giving them back-to-back wins in the series for the first time since 2014-15. The win also gives Navy their first back-to-back 10-win seasons in program history, as the Midshipmen finish the year 10-2.
