Double OT: Tate Aggies Advance In Playoffs With Win Over Navarre

November 14, 2015

The Tate High School Aggies earned a thrilling playoff win over Navarre Friday night, 23-22 in double overtime.

Navarre was first on the board with 4:01 to go in the first half on a 43-yard touchdown run to make it 7-0.

After quarterback Sawyer Smith hit Jake Henry with a 35-yard pass at the Navarre 29, Smith found Madison Lockman deep in the endzone for a 19-yard touchdown. That tied it up 7-7 in Navarre.

Navaree added a touchdown in the fourth and missed the extra point for a 13-7 Raiders lead. Then the Aggies tied it up on a 27 yard touchdown run from Alondo Thompkins. The game was locked at 13-13 as regulation time expired.

After exchanging field goals in the first overtime, Smith found Thompkins for a 23-16 Tate advantage in the second overtime period. Then Navarre scored a touchdown  from two yards out, 23-22. But Navarre’s perfect 10-0 season ended with an extra point kick off to the side.

“I’m so proud of these team, just the adversity we fought,” Tate head coach Jay Lindsey said.

Tate moves on to round two of the playoffs at Pine Forest (8-3) next Friday. The Eagles are coming off a strong 37-3 win over Gulf Breeze. Pine Forest claimed the District 1-6A championship 47-28 over Tate in the last meeting on October 30.
