On Friday, November 12, juniors and seniors participated in the 2021 Powderpuff football game.
For those who aren’t aware of Powderpuff, it is a junior girls vs senior girls football game coached by the football players at the end of South’s football season. Anyone is encouraged and welcomed to play.
In the brutal cold, the seniors won.
“It was a fun way for everyone to gather together and do something different than normal,” senior player Annalie Polen said.
Polen played the whole field. Her teammate, Kirsten Womack, seemed to be the player of the game. Womack scored several touchdowns for the senior team.
“Kirsten did really well. She basically got every touchdown and there was no stopping her,” junior Noel Mohamed said. Mohamed watched the game from the sidelines.
Powderpuff is a great way to get the juniors and seniors together. It creates a fun competition that everyone can participate in while having fun.
“We all just kinda messed around. It was fun to get everyone together,” Mohamed said.
