The casual observer might think "throwback to a different sportsmanship era" when observing a Kinnick-E.J. King boys soccer match. But their friendly rivalry is more the result of their ties to Navy bases and how players can swap places virtually in the blink of an eye. For example: Cobras senior striker Jon-Jon Green played for the Red Devils as a freshman; John Bogen, a Kinnick junior midfielder, dressed for King the past two years. Bogen’s dad, Andrew, is a teacher at E.J. King; his wife, Shawn, is a nurse at Sullivans Elementary School. Shawn, in particular, possesses divided loyalties, Cobras coach Steve Casner said after Saturday’s 5-2 Kinnick victory over E.J. King. "She feels like a mom to half the King players," Casner said. "She says she finds it hard to root for either team." "They know each other so well," Kinnick coach Shane Hernandez said. "It’s nice, competitive and friendly."
