Do It For 32: Tate Aggies Host PHS Friday Night
September 5, 2013
Coming off what Coach Ronnie Douglas called a “tough” loss, the Tate Aggies are working to rebound this week as they face Pensacola High. The West Florida Jaguars defeated Tate 45-3 last Friday night.
Douglas said the Aggies have been forced to make some changes due to injuries, including senior linebacker Jesse Samuel, carried off the field on a stretcher and transported to the hospital by ambulance last Friday night. He may have suffered a season ending knee injury. Douglas said Samuel underwent surgery on Wednesday and is “doing well”.
Senior cornerback Rashan Johnson said the loss of Samuel will be motivation for the Aggies (0-1) as they host Pensacola High (0-1). This week’s motto, Johnson said, is “Do It For 32″, referring to Samuel’s No. 32 jersey number.
“We have been working hard this week trying to come back from that (loss), and they are always fast and talented,” senior Brett Blackwelder, strong safety, said about the Pensacola High Tigers.
Pensacola High School is “big and fast and we look forward to playing them at home”, Douglas said, adding that his players have been working hard to prep for their meeting with the Tigers.
Friday night’s game between Tate and Pensacola High kicks off at 7:30 at Tate’s Pete Gindl Stadium.
