Friday, August 3, 2023, marked the second annual powderpuff game that was held at the Country Line Stadium. The strong seniors and freshmen took on the speedy juniors and sophomores for one great game. From 4 to 8, there were many different food trucks out at the complex so families and students could enjoy before and during the game. Both teams had four practices within a week and a half and played their best on Friday. The seniors and freshmen were team Plaid Power and the juniors and sophomores were The Red Zone. Brothers Josh and Jake Henderson coached the teams to prepare. Coach Josh Henderson was the coach for Plaid Power and Jake Henderson was coaching The Red Zone. Football boys from all high school grades had the opportunity to coach their peers to prepare them for the game. Freshmen Bible teacher, Mr. Gossenberger, and basketball coach, Mr. LeBeau were the two referees that night.

There is no doubt that both teams had talent and their own special gifts, but ultimately there was only going to be one winner at the end of the night. Plaid Power started strong that night and made the first touchdown. Not long after, The Red Zone came in hot and followed along. Throughout the entire game, there was no clear answer about who was going to win. Back and forth the teams went trying to take the title of the winner. After many flags were pulled, the winner of Powderpuff 2023 was Plaid Power! The seniors and freshmen were thrilled to take a win after they seemed to be the underdogs compared to their opponents. This, however, is not the first win for the senior girls. Last year they played with the current juniors and took the win over last year’s seniors and freshmen. You can say the senior girls are the toughest girls on campus!
