Tate’s Turnaround: Back To Back Wins
September 14, 2013
Coming off a historic first time in 20 years win last week over Pensacola, the Tate Aggies were achieved their goal back to back wins Friday night 35-21 over Panama City Bay.
Just two wins in a season has been a big challenge for the Aggies; they last won two games in 2010 with a 3-7 season record. Panama City Bay came in with a 2-0 record and was looking forward to going home with another win.
The Aggies’ first score cam on a 2-yard run from Lavontia Samuel, followed by a 17-yard touchdown pass from Sawyer Smith to Deontia Nicholson. Tate held the lead 12-7 at the half.
Tate open the second half with a 68-yard quarterback keeper TD run from Sawyer Smith on the first play from scrimmage. Smith scored again later in the quarter on a 19-yard run play. Tate allowed a interception for a touchdown and two blocked punts letting Bay stay in the game. Tate still held the lead at the end of the third, 28-21.
The only score in the fourth belonged to Tate on another run from 2-yards out by QB Smith. Tate was able to control the ball for much of the fourth quarter running out the clock for their 35-21 win.
Tate faces West Gadsden next Friday night for homecoming at Pete Gindl Stadium at 7:30 p.m.
