If Taylor was feeling good fresh off their 5-0 takedown of Smithville last Friday, their most recent game may have dampened their spirits a bit. While the 0-0 score might suggest a draw, it was the Giddings Buffaloes who were credited with the win on Thursday. The Giddings Buffaloes got it done in the shootout by posting four goals to the Taylor Ducks' three. While losing is never fun, the Ducks can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Texas soccer rankings (they are ranked 351st, while the Buffaloes are ranked 171st).
Taylor's loss was their first in the district, dropping their district record down to 2-1 and their overall record down to 3-3-1. As for Giddings, the victory was the sixth in a row for them, bringing their record for this year to 6-1.
Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Taylor has already played their next game (against Rockdale), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing. Giddings will host Manor New Tech at 7:15 p.m. on Friday.
