In a 105 total point game, Tate beat the Choctawhatchee Indians Friday night in Cantonment 63-42 for an Aggies Senior Night win.
Choctaw jumped out to a 7-0 lead at Pete Gindl Stadium just over a minute into the first quarter. A Jake Henry quarterback keeper touchdown run across midfield tied things up 7-7 at the 9:23 mark. Then Henry found Corey Moorer for an Aggie touchdown, Tate on Top 14-7 with 5:57 in the first.
Choctaw then pulled ahead 21-14 with touchdowns late in the first and early in the second. Henry tied things up with a keeper and 67-year touchdown run at 7:35 in the second quarter, 21-21.
Tate went ahead 28-21 with 2:33 on the clock in the half when Henry found Ladarryl Page on a 6-yard touchdown pass. Tate expanded their lead to 34-21 when Henry completed a 3-yard pass to Rodriquez Smith for a touchdown with seven seconds in the half, 35-21 as the Showband of the South took to the field.
In the third, Henry was in again on a 70-yard run. With a good kick from Evan Legassey, Tate was up 42-21. The Aggies kept rolling with a 10 yard pass from Henry to Moorer for another TD, 48-21. After a Choctaw touchdown, Tate was up 56-28 on a 12-yard rushing touchdown from Paige with 2:21 to go in the third quarter.
The Indians scored touchdowns at the 10:23 and 3:22 marks in the fourth quarter.
The Aggies sealed the win with 3:22 to go in the game when Henry rushed five yards for a touchdown. Legassey’s kick was good for Friday night’s final, 63-42.
The Tate Aggies (7-2, 1-1) will travel to Pine Forest next Friday night for their final game of the regular season. A playoff spot is on the line in the game…both teams have lost this season for first place Escambia, so a win locks in the district runner-up spot.
