Tate Blasts West Gadsden For Homecoming Win (With Gallery)

September 20, 2014

It was a very happy homecoming Friday night for the Tate High School Aggies as they easily beat the Panthers of West Gadsden.

Seven first half touchdowns were one after another for the Aggies as they earned a 52-3 victory.

One their first offensive possession, junior Reginald Payne scored on a 42-yard touchdown pass from Aggies quarterback Sawyer Smith.  After the Panthers were forced to punt, Josh Kea returned the pigskin for another TD. Toss in a field goal and 5-yard touchdown pass to Corey Moorer from Smith, and Tate was up 24-0 by the end of the first quarter.

After a Kea punt return, sophomore quarterback Jake Henry ended Tate’s drive with a 1-yard TD run for a 31-0 advantage.

Tate scored again with an 18-yard touchdown run from Jesse Fernandez and a 1-yard TD from LaDarius Thomas to move ahead 45-0.

A Panther fumble was recovered by Tate’s Trace Penton who broke a dozen or so tackles for another score, 52-0.  West Gadsden managed a 45-yard field goal at the end of the half, 52-3.

The running-clock second half was scoreless.
