Senior girls will play against junior girls in the annual Powderpuff flag football game on Wednesday, April 30 at 7 p.m. Tickets will be $3 at the gate.

The annual event has been running for more than 20 years. Due to a high amount of injuries, it will be seven versus seven instead of the usual 11 versus 11. The players have a strict training schedule to not cause disadvantages.

“The juniors and the seniors only have certain days that they can practice,” student council advisor Daniel Moser said. “They have to practice on those given days, and they can only practice that many times.”

The rivalry between the juniors and seniors is high, as juniors have only won once in 2014.

“The senior coaches are just as competitive as us,” junior student coach Mark Yanda said. “No one wants to be the senior class that loses to the juniors, so we’re expecting a hard fought battle. It’s down to which team can out-coach the other.”

The earnings will not go to anything in specific, they will be used by StuCo to plan more events. The annual Powderpuff game is about glory more than anything, and the seniors are highly determined to keep their winning streak.

“We are very serious because we want the school to know the seniors are still the top dogs in the school,” senior student coach Zachary Waller said. “We plan to win and break the scoring record.”

There’s no physical reward for the winners of the game. While it is something that StuCo has considered, it still hasn’t been implemented. Despite that, both sides are ready to make this year’s Powderpuff game memorable. 

“Winning is enough of an award to me,” Yanda said. “Being able to be that second winner says volumes about who we are as a 2026 class and how locked in we truly are.”
