The GITX High School Kids lost to Kiowa Bay 34-35 on Friday night. Quarterback Josh Farmer (212 yards passing, 2 TD) gave Goat Island a 6 point lead when he scored on a 9 yard run with 3:03 remaining. The Warriors nearly turned the ball over on the very next play, but John Treat dropped what would have been a game sealing interception. Kiowa Bay then marched down the field and scored the game winning touchdown with 22 seconds remaining. The loss dropped The Kids record to 1-2 for the season, including 0-1 in Coastal Bend League play. It was also the 17th consecutive road loss for Goat Island. The Kids will return home on Friday night when they host St. Marks at Rogers Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:00PM

A group of Goat Island merchants and property owners have formed an exploratory committee to explore the possibility of building a bridge/causeway between the Island and the mainland. Similar attempts have been made in the past, but have never gained much support from local citizens and business owners. Richard Worton is the owner of the Green Mermaid Inn and chairman of the exploratory committee. “This island still has plenty of potential for economic growth. But that potential can’t be tapped into if we continue to make it hard for people to get here.” The committee will hold and question and answer session on Monday night in the Green Mermaids main ballroom. All are invited to attend.
