Poor weather delayed the homecoming traditional Powder Puff game. The delay did not stop the determination these ladies felt on the field. They were representing their class, after all.  The powder puff game consists of each class gathering a team of girls to play a game of flag football. Traditionally, the freshmen and sophomore class play against each other; then, the junior and senior class play each other. After that, the winning teams from the previous games face off for the Powderpuff Championship.

Tuesday, October 27th at 7:00 PM, the freshman and sophomores took the field. The stands were full, and full of anticipation, for the start of the game. The freshman took an early 6-0 lead on only the second play of the game. After the first score of the game, the sophomores took over. After back to back scores by the class of 2017, they never looked back. The freshman did what they could to get back into the game, but in the end it wasn’t enough. When the clock hit zero, the final score was 20-6 sophomores.
