CORPUS CHRISTI, TX \u2014 The Battle of the Bridge has a new twist this season.<\/p>\n
The historic rivalry between Carroll and Gregory-Portland’s football teams has a new bridge but the same stakes in UIL 5A-DII District 14. <\/p>\n
“All these guys here that’s what they’ve been talking about the whole season,” Carroll Senior Roman Nino said. “Our linebacker, Kayden, has been talking… if there’s a game he wants to win it’s this one.” <\/p>\n
Both teams are coming off a bye week. It was two weeks ago when Carroll (4-3, 1-1) suffered a tough, 31-0 loss to Miller. Now they’re looking to bounce back against one of their biggest rivals. <\/p>\n
“It was hard to lose but the bye week pushed us to get the confidence back against GP,” Carroll Senior Paul Garcia said. <\/p>\n
Gregory-Portland (6-1, 2-0) will host the Tigers with a chance to seal a historic milestone. <\/p>\n
“I think we’re on our 599th win so we’re really trying to secure that 600th,” Gregory-Portland Senior Gunnar Gleinig said. <\/p>\n
The Wildcats have won 9 of the last 10 against Carroll dating back to 2016. <\/p>\n
The game kicks off on Friday night at 7 p.m. at Ray Akins Wildcat Stadium.<\/p>\n
