Cartersville’s Donavan Tate and Morgan Alexander look forward to playing against each other

Cartersville’s Morgan Alexander has played in the same offensive and defensive backfields with Donavan Tate since the two were in middle school.

But that will change next season. Alexander committed to North Carolina State last month, while Tate, one of the best high school baseball players in America, committed to rival North Carolina to play both sports.

While it’s likely Tate will be a high pick in the June 2009 Major League Baseball Draft, he might decide to honor his commitment to play quarterback for the Tar Heels. And if he does, Alexander could be in the Wolfpack secondary.

“I’ve picked him off in practice a couple of times,” Alexander said of the times Tate has run the scout team offense against Cartersville’s number one defensive unit. “He was really trying to complete the passes, but I got him.

“Donavan’s such a great player,” Alexander said. “It would be fun to go against him.”
