Tate Beats Crestview 41-33

September 18, 2010

There was a lot of celebrating in Cantonment Friday night as the Tate Aggies beat the Crestview Bulldogs 41-33.

The Tate Aggies (2-1) celebrated the 30th anniversary of their 1980 state championship and honored legendary coach Carl Madison. Members of that championship team were also honored Friday night.

Fast forward 30 years to Friday night, and the Aggies bit the Bulldogs early, with a one-yard touchdown run from Josh Dees. The point after failed, and the Aggies were up 6-0 with 6:37 to go in the first quarter. The Bulldogs answered with a five-yarder and a good kick to take the lead 7-6 with 3:36 in the first.

Crestview added another touchdown from about the midfield mark early in the second. The kick was good, and it was the Bulldogs 14-6.

But the Aggies were just getting started with three touchdowns and a field goal in the second quarter. Tate scored with a 33-yard pass from Thumper Grice to Alex Westergreen, a 26-yard run from Lorenzo Long, a 13-yard run from Ladarion Young and a 34-yard field goal from Hagan Mancuso.

In the third quarter, Crestview added a 23-yard touchdown run, and the Aggies had five-yard touchdown run from Long. Crestview scored twice in the fourth, including a touchdown pass with just 54 seconds to go in the game.

With a win in their first home game of the year at Pete Gindl stadium, the Aggiest handed the Bulldogs their first loss of the year.

Tate will be on the road in Santa Rosa County next Friday night in a district game against Pace.
