Homecoming week started up with the upperclassman spirit of the annual powder puff flag football game on Monday, October 7. After being defeated at last year’s game, the class of 2014 have been anxious for their second chance for victory. Students from both the junior and senior class practiced Tuesday and Thursday nights. While the girls planned tactics and threw balls, males practiced their cheers and learned their dances for half time.
The powder puff game is a spin to a regular Friday night, high school football game. Supporters packed into the stands, thrilled to see the girls in action on the cool autumn day. When dark began to flood the sky halfway through the game, the senior girls were losing to the juniors by one touch down. The girls schemed their plan for victory during the halftime show, where the male cheer leaders performed on center field.
The second half consisted of class of 2014 fighting to show juniors their place. When the buzzer sounded announcing the end of the game, the class of 2014 cheered in pride with a win of 43 to 21. Better luck next year juniors!
