Edgar Richter skips for 9 yards Action late in the LaGrange-Giddings Battle against La Grange. The 1956 season for the Giddings High School Buffaloes is a story of rags to riches. The Buffs under their new head coach Boone Jackson, suffered many injuries and had plenty of hard luck thrown in and went down to defeat in their first three games. It was then that the Buffs finally had their squad intact for the first time in the se ison, and began to roll. They won the last seven of their regular scheduled games, crushing Bastrop, fthe only loss the Bears sustained all seasonl, 20-12, and rolling over the four district foes without giving up a point. The Buffs edged Lockhart 20-19, stopping a fourth quarter rally by the Lions after having lead at one time in the game by 20-7. Next, the B iffs began to create state-wide notice by defeating a very strong and high-scoring Navasota by a 19-13 score. The Buffs trailed 13-6 and later 13-12 before pulling it out of the fire with a fourth quarter 68-yard drive. In the quarterfinals the Buffs met the rugged Brady Bulldogs, a team which shdwed itls championship ability by taking advan- tage of the breaks and Buff errors and piled up a 33-0 lead at halftime. The Buffs fought back hard to play the Bulldogs on even terms in the seconl half, but the season ended for them that night as Brady went on to become finalist and take second place in Class AA football. The success of the 1956 season goes to a tremendous comeback spirit of the team and the wonderful job of coach- ing of Boone Jackson, Bill Michalka, and Truett Mobley, and the scouting of Henry Lawrence. If there was one thing that made the '56 team go, it was because they didn't give up on themselves after the first three games, though many of it's followers did.
