Tate Beats Crestview
October 19, 2013
The Tate Aggies hit the road Friday night to take on the Crestview Bulldogs with their eyes on a playoff berth. The Bulldogs played hard taking the lead during the game, but could not hold off the Aggies’ offense. And Tate went on beat Crestview by a score of 29-24.
Tate started off the game by blocking a Crestview punt early in the first quarter, leading to a 32-yard field goal from kicker Dylan Mancuso. Tate took the early lead, 3-0. Again in the first quarter, Mancuso kicked a field goal. The 29-yarder made the score Tate 6, Crestview 0.
Later in the second quarter, the Bulldogs had the Aggies near the on endzone when Tate’s quarterback dropped the ball in the end zone and was able to fall on it. That gave the Bulldogs a safety with the score 6-2. Late in the 2nd quarter, Crestview decided to go for it on fourth down, throwing an 18-yard touchdown pass for a 9-6 Aggies lead at the half.
Crestview began the second half with a 97 yard touchdown drive to increase their lead over Tate 16-6. Crestview had the momentum until a tipped pass landed in the hands of Tate’s Diamonte Thompson, who took it 5- yards for a Aggie touchdown. Tate still trailed 13-16.
On Tate’s next possession, Tia Samuel sprinted up the middle of the field for a 79-yard touchdown run. Tate missed the extra point, to make the score Tate 19, Crestview 16. The Aggies’ next score was again by Tia Samuel. This one was for 25 yards to increase Tate’s lead to 26-16.
Tate’s Dylan Mancuso was called on again for his thid field goal of the night. He kicked a 44-yard field goal to make the score 29-16. With less than a minute to go, the Aggies intentionally gave up a safety to make the score Tate 29 Crestview 18. Crestview was able to quickly score on their next possession, but failed to convert the two point conversion to make the final score Tate 29, Crestview 24.
Tate’s Coach Ronnie Douglas said that he was “very pleased with the win. The players worked really hard all week for the game”. We hurt ourselves in the first half, but were able to come out in the seconded half and play a better game”.
Tate (6-2, 1-1) travels to Ft Walton next week. Kickoff is at 7:00.
