This year’s Powderpuff game was nowhere near as close as it was last year.  The seniors came out with a win, 36-6.

With the former juniors having a hard-fought game last year and coming short 32-28, they were determined to get the win this year.

Grace Marchetti, Mylana Stevens, Addy Carter, Kalissa Coats, and Claire Moffitt all scored a touchdown for the seniors, along with two-point conversions scored by Kalissa Coats, Grace Marchetti, and Addy Carter. The juniors’ only touchdown was scored by Lucinda Stearns.

Although the juniors did not have as great of a year this year for Powderpuff, many juniors still enjoyed their time participating.

Junior Danica Ross said, “Even though we did not win, I enjoyed it because it was fun dressing up and doing cheers on the sideline. I thought it was fun and brought everyone together.”

Junior Moderator and Coach Shannon Olsen said, “I think next year we could be a little better if we just have a couple more consistent practices; a lot of girls showed up to one, and a couple showed up to another. I just think if we have more consistent attendance, we can be more successful next year.”

Senior Mylana Stevens said, “The juniors were not as strong this year, so the seniors were confident in their abilities. We did very well this year.”

For the seniors, it was a great way to close out their Powderpuff experience during their last Spirit Week.

Senior Coach Laura Seifert explained, “The seniors had a dominant win this year. It was all because they worked together as a team; they executed, and they had fun together.”

This year’s Powderpuff student section was not as energetic as past years. The student section for seniors was very spirited.

The section had several different cheers and were very engaged in the game. As for the juniors, sophomores, and freshman, they were not as engaged, and there was not much cheering coming from their classes.

The practices for juniors took place once in the morning of a two-hour delay, before school 8:00-9:00, and three times after school from 2:50-3:30. For the seniors, they practiced eight times for about two weeks, during their lunch times.
