The Powder Puff game will continue for the third consecutive year, giving junior and senior girls a chance to compete in a game of flag football.

“I know the senior class is going to show the juniors who’s boss,” said senior Allison Bain.

Bain didn’t participate in Powder Puff during her junior year, but decided to this year after realizing that this year would be her last opportunity to do it.

“I didn’t know what it was last year so I didn’t do it,” Bain said, “but I’m definitely looking forward to the game.”

The past few years the game has been held in cold and rainy weather, and this year is no different, with expected temperatures as low as 33 degrees during the game. Despite this setback, Junior Celine Yn remains excited about the game.

“I think it’ll be a fun experience,” Yn said. “And the sweatshirt is always really cute.”

Junior Tess Coulson echoes Yn’s expectations towards Powder Puff.

“I decided to do it because it’s supposed to be really fun,” Coulson said.

Everyone interested in playing had to attend at least two practices, where the basics of flag football were taught and participants went over plays and created their own plays by using code words for different moves.

“Some of our most used code words are ‘Larry’ for left side, ‘Richard’ for right side,” Bain said. “Shouting any form of weather meant the running back just took the ball and ran,” Bain said.

Similar to the senior class, the junior’s team also came up with a creative ways to signal different plays.

“We called one play ‘3’,” Yn said. “It’s when the quarterback hands off the ball to a running back and they just run down the field.”

Roles are even further reversed during the Powder Puff game because not only are girls playing football, but Powder Puff gives upperclassmen boys a chance to perform as cheerleaders or in a dance team to provide spirit for the players.
