St. Louis High School started what might become a new tradition. Oct 20, when the student body went outside to Wheeler field to watch the girls play against each other in a rough game of PowderPuff football.

This game consisted of two teams: the Black team (seniors and freshmen) and the Red team (juniors and sophomores). The game started out rough with Black in the lead on a quick score of six, but the two-point conversion was no good. However, to everyone’s surprise, it was all Red after that! The Red team stole the show bringing the sophomores and juniors a big win with a score of 28-6. 

Many people believe what caused the Red team to win was its ultra-competitive attitude and the fact the team was very well coached. Others believe that the Black team simply didn’t practice hard enough. Junior Tyson Head said, “It doesn’t work well when you mix babies with dinosaurs.” 

The Red team did, however, have some secret weapons up its sleeves. These weapons had two feet and could run really fast and included Natalee Hoyt and Monika Borie who both ran the ball multiple times and scored all the teams’ touchdowns. A freshman student expressed, “I believe that the Black team would have done better if they put Libby(Munderloh) in the position where she would be able to run the ball more often.” 

Junior McKenzie Reid expressed, “The sophomores looked like vicious chihuahuas while the juniors were more like under-fed Rottweilers.” 

Many students and staff hope this daytime PowderPuff game will continue as a tradition for years to come.
