How are the Standard-Times archives? You might get a good story about the 1958 district battle between Forsan, Garden City, and Irion County from those. The Big Spring Herald had a lot of good game articles that year, but mostly from the viewpoint of Forsan and Garden City.


It was a great battle for the right to get clobbered by Borden County in the bi-district game. Mertzon beat Forsan, Forsan beat Garden City, and Garden City beat Mertzon. Going into the last week of the season, Garden City was set to take the district title in a 3-way tie, but was upset by Water Valley who had won only one other game that year.
