After the Gators jumped out to an early 8-0 lead in the first, Tate answered with a 22-yard touchdown pass from quarterback David Moorhead to Justin Elliot.  With a two point conversion from LaVantai Samuel, the Aggies and the Gators were even at 8-8.

In the second quarter, Escambia scored again with a touchdown and field goal to go ahead 18-8.

With 5:39 to go in the third quarter of play, Aggies quarterback David Moorehead hit Alex Westergreen on  35-yard  pass to bring the Aggies within three, 18-15. Tate scored again in the third with a 60-yard pass from Moorhead to Westergreen, and Mancuso made a good kick. The Aggies were up 22-18 in headed into the fourth.

But the Gators bit again in the fourth with a touchdown to make it 24-22, Escambia. The Aggies had a chance at the win with about a minute left in the game, but a 37-yard field goal went wide to the right.

The Tate Aggies will host the Pine Forest Eagles next Friday night at Pete  Gindl Stadium in Cantonment.
