Tate Bounces Back For OT Win Over Pine Forest (With Photo Gallery)

September 27, 2014

Tate Aggie fans that left Pine Forest High early Friday night really missed out.

Down 26-12 with six minutes to go in the game, the Aggies rallied for a nail-biting 33-32 overtime win over the Pine Forest Eagles.

Running back Alondo Thompkins, a junior, scored a couple of touchdowns — six and five yards — late in the game for the tie.  He also earned the OT points for the Aggies, in from 10 yards out. Chase Seibert was 3-3 on the accompanying extra point kicks.

The Aggies overtime win came as Pine Forest scored, went for two and fumbled the snap.

Earlier in the game, Tate scored in the first on a nine-yard pass from Sawyer Smith to Bradley Trambley and a good kick from Seibert for a 7-0 lead. Moments later, the Aggies added a couple on a forced safety.

The Aggies were scoreless in the second and had the only points of the third quarter on a 33-yard field goal from Seibert.

The win over Pine Forest was the second in a row for Tate, which snapped a nine-game losing streak to the Eagles last year.

Tate (4-1) will travel to Niceville next Friday night in their first district game of the season.
