TATE FOOTBALL FIELD TO BE NAMED FOR COACH CARL MADISON

The Escambia County School Board will consider a proposal next month to name the football field at Tate High School as “Carl Madison Field” in honor of the legendary 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 Madison was named National High School Football Coach of the Year. Madison, who will turn 90 next month, coached at five different Florida High Schools and is number two on Florida’s all-time football coaching victories list with a 326-129-7 record.
