November 12, 2016
The Tate Aggies beat Gulf Breeze 42-38 in the final seconds of the Region 1-6A Quarterfinals Friday night in Gulf Breeze.
“We have a special group. They (Gulf Breeze) are a heck of a football team. They didn’t quit either. We expected it to be a dog fight and it was,” Tate Head Coach Jay Lindsey said.
Tate took an early 7-0 lead that was quickly answered by Gulf Breeze to make it 7-7.
The Aggies came back on a quarterback keeper by Jake Henry to go up 14-7. Then, with the score now 14-14, the Aggies were headed back on top with a Sharmari Jones touchdown, 21-14. The Dolphins tied up 21-21 with a 76-yard touchdown run before taking a 28-21 lead.
Tate score again on a Henry to Corey Young touchdown pass and another quarterback keeper from Henry, 35-35.
Jones plunged in across the goal line with just 6.8 seconds on the clock for the game winning touchdown, 42-38.
“Kids don’t quit,” Lindsey said. “You’re down 14 third quarter, six minutes left keep playing football.
The Tate Aggies (9-2) will host the Navarre Raiders next Friday night in round two of the playoffs.

Congratulations Aggies ! ! !
Went to the game. Fantastic effort and tenacity. We got down two touchdowns, and fought back. Props to the coaching staff, clearly the halftime adjustments worked. Players out played ‘em. Coaches out coached ‘em. C/O 1997
