2010 Powderpuff

By: Brianna Brinckman

On Sunday, September 26th the Junior and Senior girls battled it out at Meadowview Middle School for the 2010 Homecoming powderpuff game.

Both teams worked hard to prepare for the game. Junior Harley Schauf stated, "We had a lot of practices and even though not many people showed up, I feel we are as prepared as we can be." Not knowing what to expect, the junior girls were optimistic about the games outcome. Schauf continues, "I don't really know what to expect, but I'm excited and I think it will be a good game."

To make the game less biased, both teams agreed to utilize a junior referee for the first time ever. Senior player Katie Sprague added, "The seniors definitely have an advantage from playing last year and it's only fair to include a junior referee." She goes on to advise that the game shouldn't be taken too seriously and to just have fun. Schauf and Sprague both agree that the girls have matured and are responsible enough to prove it to the school.

Powderpuff hasn't been a school sponsored function since 2005. Schauf states, "I hope someday powderpuff can be a school supported activity again."
