ANNAPOLIS, MD — If Navy takes home the Commander-in-Chief's trophy at Saturday's Army-Navy game, Annapolis Mayor Gavin Buckley will be treated to authentic New York pizza. If Army wins? Buckley will send some Maryland crab cakes to Joseph D'Onofrio, mayor of Highland Falls, New York — home of West Point. The two mayors are bringing their bet back ahead of the annual game, which will be played Saturday at 3 p.m. at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. "Every year we do this," Buckley said in a video with D'Onofrio announcing the bet. "It cost me a lot of money a couple of years ago, so I'm hoping to make some of that back this year." Army (8-3) beat Navy (3-8) 15-0 in last year's contest, though the Midshipmen lead the all-time series 61-53-7. "This is a wonderful game. It's an all-American game," Buckley said. "You never really know who's gonna win no matter who's favored."
