Hall of Fame
1956 Mules Football Team
The 1956 Mules' football team gave Central Missouri its first MIAA football title since 1926. Coached by Lew Comer, the Mules produced a 7-2 overall record and shared the MIAA title with Missouri-Rolla with a 4-1 league record. The Miners spoiled the Mules' Homecoming game with a 29-27 victory that prevented the Mules from winning the MIAA title undefeated. Stan Hensley led the MIAA in scoring that season and was second in the league in rushing. He was one of three first-team All-MIAA selections the Mules had that season, joined on the team by tackle Jack Luschen and end Bob Cross. Second-team All-MIAA selections were Delbert Bryant, Norm Brooks and Gene Augustine.
