Donavan Tate Latest Peach State Two-Sport Star

Posted Jun 17, 2009
Donavan Tate had decided to give up football last summer and wasn't on Cartersville's team for its opener. But he missed the sport and his teammates and returned for a glorious senior season. He won the quarterback job by mid-season and led Cartersville into the second round. He has signed to play football and baseball at North Carolina, but he'll be hard-pressed to turn down big money from the San Diego Padres, who made him the No. 3 overall pick. (Max Preps)
