BALTIMORE — Football is on for Army, Navy and Air Force this weekend although some other service academy sports are still suspended because of the government shutdown. The Defense Department said Thursday everything was on hold at Navy through Sunday except for Saturday's football game against Air Force. According to Navy's website, 19 events were either postponed or canceled on Saturday and Sunday, including men's and women's soccer games, swim meets and a women's volleyball match at home against Colgate.
