Intensity stewed on the field as the sophomore and junior classes prepared for their powderpuff game at 3:30 Thursday, Nov. 10. The winner of the first game would move onto the final against the senior class, who were preparing for domination on the football practice field.
Both juniors and sophomores fought a tough game, but in the end, the victory went to the junior class with a score of 12-0.
At the start of the second game, the upper classmen rode in on three masculine trucks as the junior class turned their backs, showing off their taped backs. The juniors ended the first half with a 6-0 lead, and despite the seniors’ desire to be victors, the juniors scored again, bringing the score to 12-0.
Senior Anna Alioto scored the seniors’ first touchdown in the second half, boosting the senior teams’ confidence and pumping them up. Alyssa Fancher took the kick and made the field goal, giving seniors another point.
“I was very nervous about taking the kick,” Fancher said. “I just wanted to make it so that I could help the senior class win.”
However, time was the enemy and the seniors were not able to catch up with the juniors who won the powderpuff game 12-7. Although the game ended, the rivalry did not. While juniors huddled together to celebrate their win, the senior class surprise-attacked them. No one sustained injury, and after the tussle they exchanged smiles, both teams left the field satisfied.

I’d just like to say that I was personally rooting for Cthulhu to win this years Powderpuff game. Unfortunately Cthulhu had to do battle with the cloud apes of Equirron 9 that day. Alas, next year Cthulhu shall impact his wrath upon us.

The game was rigged like alway’s, the seniors scored a touchdown that was so called “out of bounds” it obviously was not! Then the juniors got another touchdown and after awhile seniors got one again that did count. So basically the game was tied! Also they kept the timer on when we weren’t even playing. Figures that the Junior’s would win since one of the Juniors Dad’s is one of the coaches, doesn’t seem fair right? Oh and I should mention this also, one of the Seniors got punched in the nose by a Junior and they didn’t call it, what’s up with that?! So basically this game was rigged it would have been tied if they counted the other touchdown of seniors but they didn’t, because they have a coach that controlls the scores on their side. Anyway think what you want, but this game was definitly RIGGED!!!

Just because a student has a dad as a coach for the Varsity team doesn’t mean the game was meant to be won by the Juniors. Plus multiple Seniors hurt the Juniors as well as the Juniors hurting the Seniors, some intentional and some not. One Junior got her lip busted open. It was a fair game, both teams had their faults, but the Juniors were just a bit better than the Seniors. The Juniors have won in years past, its just not a rigged game to let the Seniors win every year.
