Gregory-Portland (4-4) is looking to win its first district football championship since 2021. The Wildcats will have to take down one of the top teams in the Coastal Bend the Miller Buccaneers (6-2). The UIL 5A-DII District 14 championship is on the line in their first meeting since 2017. It’s the KRIS 6 Game of the Week.
“It means a lot,” Gregory-Portland senior quarterback Reed Dooms said. “I mean we played for one last year and we played for one my sophomore year, but we came up short both of those years. We’re really looking to senior year get out on top and finally get our district championship.”
The Wildcats’ rough 4-game losing skid to start the season took a reverse, as G-P has won 4 straight games.
“We had little things we had to fix at the beginning of the season,” Dooms said. “We got those fixed and you can see how it’s turned out now. I got a great connection with all of my receivers, especially Brandon (Coates). I mean when you have somebody with that much speed it’s kind of easy for them to get open and throw the ball to them.”
