CARL MADISON FIELD NAMED

The Escambia County School Board has voted to name the football field at Tate High School “Carl Madison Field” in honor of the legendary 90-year-old coach who led the Aggies to a 1980 state championship and is one of the all-time winningest high school coaches in the nation. He also took the Pine Forest Eagles to two state championships in 1987 and 1988 and the 1988 Eagle team was named as national champions by USA Today. Madison is number two on Florida’s all-time football coaching victories list with a 326-129-7 record. The Tate High School stadium will continue to be known as the Pete Gindl Stadium in honor of the former School Board member and teacher.
