On Oct. 1, at 7 p.m., North seniors and juniors played their annual Powder Puff game.


At the end of the game, fans were rowdy due to the fact that the juniors only lost by two touchdowns. The final score was 105-91.
“How they placed and listened during the game was better than they practiced,” junior coach Kollyn Andrzejewski said. “They trucked the girls and used football techniques.”
While practicing, the juniors were only able to play against each other, and some of the girls say they weren’t prepared for the seniors.
“The girls were a lot bigger and my girls were kind of intimidated by it,” junior quarterback Kayla Conoyer said.
Although North’s football coaches were appointed as the referees for the Powder Puff game, some juniors feel that they weren’t making the right calls.
“[I couldn’t believe what happened at] the goal line when Watson and Parker called a touchdown and Brune called it no good,” Andrzejewski said.
Despite the “bad calls,” the junior’s offense and defense seemed to be enjoying themselves on the field. On offense, Becky Lackey was selected as the MVP, while her twin sister, Cindy, was chosen as the Most Valuable Player on the other side of the ball.
“[That was] fun, crazy and amazing,” Andrzejewski said. “It was a once in a lifetime opportunity.”
The girls on the field were able to experience the game in a whole new light. As opposed to the fans in the strands, the girls were able to see every detail of the game.
“When Annie McFarland dove for [a senior’s] flag and the girl tried to jump up they ended up colliding,” Kendra Caldwell, junior safety, said. “The expression on Parker’s face was priceless.”
The junior coaches feel that their girls made some great changes to their attitude when they were under pressure.
“We were a lot more organized and we kicked butt,” Caldwell said. “During practices, the girls didn’t know what to do; then it all came together and the girls were amazing.”
Many junior and senior girls do Powder Puff during high school for the experience and the fun of it.
“It was amazing and I’m pumped for my senior year,” Caldwell said. “[The class of] 2010 is going to be back again.”
