Tate Aggies Start Game Days With Breakfast At Gonzalez UMC
September 26, 2015
If you are a Tate Aggie football player, how do you start your game day?
Many start at the Gonzalez United Methodist Church where church members cook and a provide a free hearty breakfast for the boys. The tradition began after Ronnie Douglas’ first season as head coach in 2013 and has continued under current head coach Jay Lindsey.
The Aggies players will usually find Tammie Penegar volunteering to serve, refilling juice cups and “waiting” on the players. She is the mother of Brandon Penegar, a Tate assistant coach who passed away unexpectedly three years ago. This is the last year for some of the players her son coached, “Brandon’s Boys”, to play for the Tate Aggies.
