Tate Ends Best Season In 10 Years With Win Over The Escambia Gators

November 9, 2013

The Tate Aggies ended their comeback season at 8-2 — their best record in a decade — with a 45-34 win over the Escambia Gators Friday night at Emmitt Smith Field.

The Gators were on the board first, with the Aggies scoring on a 41-yard field goal from Dylan Mancuso with 4:07 to go in the first quarter. In the second quarter, Tate scored with a 57-yard pass from Sawyer Smith to Tay Samuel and a 3-yard run from Samuel just before the half.

In the third quarter, Tate scored on a 4-yard pass from Smith to Alonte Thompson and an 11-yard run from Brian Davis. In the forth, the Aggies scored on a 69-yard pass from Smith to Shane Tindell and a 3-yard keeper from Smith in the final seconds.

The Aggies, under first year head coach Ronnie Douglas, will hit the road for Tallahassee next Friday night in round one of the state 7A football playoff series. The Aggies (8-2, 1-1) will face Lincoln (6-4, 2-0).
