Tate’s Winning Season Continues
October 26, 2013
After winning a tough game against Crestview last week, Tate traveled again to Okaloosa County to play Fort Walton Friday night. The game was a defensive battle, but Tate dominated on both the offense and defense in the fourth quarter to win 24-13.
Tate started out their first series by trying to go for it on fourthand short, but was unable to get the first down.
Fort Walton took possesion on Tate’s 21 yard line after the turnover on downs. Tate’s defense faced a big test early and held Ft Walton to just a field goal to make the score 3-0. That would be all the scoring in the first quarter, as the defenses for both teams proved to be strong.
In the second quarter, the Aggies’ Taylor Brown intercepted a Vicking pass and returned it for a touchdown. Tate took the lead 7-3. Tate again fumbled the ball deep into their own territory and Fort Walton recovered. The Aggies’ defense was up to the challenge again and held the Vikings to just three points. Tate still held a 7-6 advance. Fort Walton scored late in the second quarter on a 20 yard run to lead at the half 13 – 7.
The second half would be all Aggies. Tate’s defense would not allow the Vikings to score any more points for the night.
Tate’s Dylan Mancuso kicked a 40- yard field goal in the third to make the score Tate 10, Fort Walton 13. Early in the fourthquarter, Sawyer Smith scored on an 18ard run to regain the lead 17-13.
Later in the fourth, Diamonte Thompson intercepted a Viking pass and would run it all the way back for a apparent touchdown. But Tate was penalized for holding and the touchdown was nullified and the ball was brought out to the 20 yard line. A few plays later, Tay Samuel ran it in for another Aggie touchdown.
Tate’s defense faced many challenges during the game and held strong throughout. There was only one series that the defense were not able to stop the Vickings and allowed a touchdown. The two field goals that Fort Walton scored were on offensive turnovers deep in Aggie territory and the defense kept them from scoring a touchdown.
Tate improved their season record to 7-2 for the year. Tate has a bye next week before facing Escambia High on November 8th at Emmitt Smith Field at 7:30 p.m.
