Film Clip from 1956 Regional Championship Game
I've posted an 11-minute film clip from the 1956 Regional Championship Game between Sugar Land and Barbers Hill High Schools. Sugar Land won 46 - 13. Sugar Land is the home team in the dark jerseys, but I'm not sure where the game was played.
(Update) Leon Anhaiser sent me a note saying they played this game in Rosenberg. SLHS played other post-season games in Rosenberg to take advantage of their larger stadium. They played the '52 Regional Championship against Hempstead in Rosenberg, as well as the '53 Bi-District Championship against Chester and the '53 Regional Championship against Magnolia.
Here's a picture of the Gators plus their record that season. As far as I know, the 1953 and 1956 teams are the only Gator teams to go undefeated and untied in a season.
