Niceville Gets Past Tate
October 5, 2013
It was senior night and Tate was looking to upset favored Niceville in their first game of district play Friday night, but Niceville had other plans. And in the end, the Eagles flew awa with a 28-6 win.
Tate was the first to get the ball, but Niceville intercepted Tate’s pass on the Aggies’ 38-yard line. Niceville later score a touchdown on a 9-yard run. Tate had opportunities to score in the first half, once with the ball on Niceville’s 1-yard line, but only was able to get a 23-yard field goal from Dylan Mancuso. The score at the half was Tate 3, Niceville 7. So far this season, the Eagles had earned at least a 28 point advantage by the half.
Niceville received the ball to begin the second half. They didn’t take long before they scored again. They scored on a 9-yard quarterback keeper with 9:46 left in the third to make the score Tate 3, Niceville 21. Tate had another opportunity in third quarter, deep in Niceville’s territory but only were able to get three points on a Mancuso 27-yard field goal. Niceville scored again in the fourth quarter on a 75-yard pass play to make the score Tate 6. Niceville 28.
After the game, Tate Coach Ronnie Douglas said “We had 3 opportunities to score but we didn’t take advantage of that. He said he was “pleased with the way the defense held them (Niceville). We have to put this game behind us and get ready for next week’s game against Washington”.
