2022 Week 4: Defense, Naturally, Helps Army-Navy Knock Down 1940 Record
Army-Navy broke a school record last week that had been on the books since 1940, when the Warriors were based at the previous Red Apple Inn in Carlsbad.
Four shutouts at the start of the season.
Eighty-two years ago, the cadets of coach T.S. Walker opened with three shutouts by blanking St. Augustine, 6-0, the Hoover sophomores, 19-0, and Fallbrook, 19-0.
Coach Nehemiah Brunson’s team shut out Nuevo Nuview Bridge, a charter school in the Riverside area, 36-0, last week after whipping Temecula Prep, 29-0, Clairemont, 24-0, and Calipatria, 57-0.
The last time Army-Navy was 4-0 was in the 10-1 season in 2012.
The cadets’ defense will get a test this week when the Warriors meet Classical, which is 3-1, coming off a 74-0 win over Orange Glen and averaging more than 50 points a game.
Meanwhile, Madison is No. 1 in the San Diego-Union-Tribune poll for the second straight week with 17 of 30 first-place votes:
