Since the last event (Flag Football game) was so much fun for both programs, we challenge the Air Force again. This time we let them pick the sport and the rules......they picked basketball....It's On.......Army v.s Air Force ROTC Basketball Game. .  

When: 10 April 08

Where: UM outside court behind GYM (Wellness Center)! 

Time: Court is reserved from 1800-2100 tip-off will be 1900.  

As of now though, the game will be 5-on-5 with at least one female per team on the court at all times more to follow on the rules. Air Force will cover the court rental fee, there is a $5 guest fee for each participant that is not a UM student, spectators will be free.  

Of course parking will be an issue so we will try to use to the vans to shuttle CDT's over to UM.

Get the word out this should be lots of fun! Please let me know if you have any questions.  

Army’s first possession led to another score but again the 2 pt extra point tries were not working.  18-0.  It looked like the beginning of a rout but Air Force began a convincing air campaign. 

Air Force then struck back twice with touchdown throws and extra points to make it an 18 – 14 game.  The momentum had definitely changed back to AF.

As the second half wound down Army struck again on the ground.  The touchdown came from a short pass and a long run but Army again failed to convert on the 2 point try.  24 – 14.  AF marched down the field in a convincing manner and scored on a deep pass in the back of the end zone.  This time the extra point try failed.  24 -20. 

Army managed to generate a first down after AF expended it’s time outs on the subsequent possession and run out the clock.

Game balls for Army were:

CDT Garcia (the cadet formerly known as Deehl) and CDT Horne.

Great game down to the wire.  Thanks to all.
