In Varsity action the Lady Buffs pulled away in the second half for a 46-27 win. The game was sloppy and there were numerous fouls called as Rockdale shot 41 free throws for the game, and the Lady Buffs shot 27. “I think the 2nd quarter alone lasted 20-30 minutes”, said Coach Essman, “at least it seemed like it.” The Lady Buffs started cold as they didn’t make a bucket in the first quarter and were down 8-5 to start. The Lady Buffs matched Rockdale’s score for the rest of the game as they scored 19 in the second for a 24-16 halftime lead.

Score: 11/17/08 Giddings 46, Rockdale 27
Notes From Coach Essman
11/17/08 On Saturday, the Giddings traveled to Weimar and fell to the Lady Cats 54-31. The Lady Buffs started out slow and fell behind 17-9 in the first quarter and could not catch back up.
A combination of early turnovers and poor shooting attributed to the loss. The Lady Buffs shot only 35% from the free throw line and a mere 24% from the floor.
We have to give Weimar credit, they are a good defensive team with two very good players that are their main threats offensively and defensively.
Individual Scoring:
Jena Meuth, 12; Brittany Belyeu, 6; Kayla Winkfield, 4; Kelcie
Morgan, 4; Caitie Carney, 3; Jordan Masek, 1; and Heather Belyeu, 1.
11/11/08 After getting off to a sluggish start the Lady
Buffs mounted a second half comeback to take down Moulton Tuesday night
at the GHS gym. The event marks the beginning of the 2008 season for the
Lady Buffs who bring speed, quickness and an abundance of talent to the
court.
Giddings controlled the ball most of the first period but missed many of
their shots, a problem that kept them from claiming the early lead.
Using a combination of speed and aggressiveness, Giddings outscored
Moulton 14-2 in the third, working well in a team effort to get out in
front of the Lady Bobcats.
Giddings made some adjustments on defense that proved to be effective.
They worked hard to clog up the middle, forcing several consecutive
turnovers that resulted in numerous fast break points.
The Lady Buff's running style of play wore on the Lady Bobcats who spent
most of the fourth period "a step behind".
After moving into the lead, the Lady Buffs hammered away at the slower
Moulton squad. Freshman Kayla Winkfield led in the scoring effort for
Giddings, sinking a total of 13 points. Junior Jordan Masek hit for 10
points and Meagan Bradley added 8.
