With time running out in the first, Jesse Fernadez powered up the middle for a 1-yard touchdown run. Tate held the lead at the end of first quarter, 14-0.
To begin the 2nd quarter, Tate blocked the Panthers’ punt to get the ball on the Panthers’ 10-yard line. Two plays later. Lavontia Samuel ran it in for a 8-yard touchdown with 11:00 to go in the second quarter for a 21-0 Tate lead. In the middle of the second quarter, Tate’s Trace Penton intercepted the Panthers’ pass to set up a 2- yard touchdown run by Samuel for a 28-0 Tate advantage.
It was in the fourth quarter before Tate was able to score again; this time on a 17-yard TD pass from q Smith to De-Vekyo Lewis. Kicker Dylan Mancuso was perfect for the night on extra points to make the score 35-0. West Gadsden was threatening with time running out, but Tate’s defense was able to hold them off to get the shutout.
After the game, Tate Coach Ronnie Douglas stated that it “was great for the defense to get a shutout”. He said that “they did their job all night and it paid off”.
