MV Student Council hosted another successful Powder Puff game on Tuesday, October 3, 2023.
The Junior class continued to be the reigning champions after beating the seniors 15-6.
Last year MV Student Council brought back the Powder Puff games as a new event to sprinkle more school spirit and excitement into Homecoming week.
Peyton Julius, ’24, Student Council president and Powder Puff committee chair, was a big part in getting the games set up.
One thing she focused on was the winning team receiving medals as a prize.
“That’s one thing the Powder Puff Committee worked to change this year, so each team member has something they can personally keep from the games. I believe it also added to the excitement of winning,” said Peyton Julius, ‘24.
The games were hosted at Kent Hunt Stadium, and students and families poured in to watch the competition.
Powder Puff followed all flag football guidelines. Wes Plummer, one of the referees, worked with Julius and the teams to make sure everyone knew the rules.
The semifinal games were two 10-minute halves and the championship was played with 12-minute halves.
“To prepare for the games, Student Council created a Powder Puff Committee. We worked together to decide what we wanted the games to look like this year, and then contacted multiple different people around the school to help make the games possible,” stated Julius.
The Powderpuff games provided a fun experience and another class competition for students to look forward to.
“My favorite part about participating in the Powderpuff games was being able to play with my friends and I love getting the chance to put the seniors in their place,” said Kamaree Pollard ‘25.
All teams had about two and a half weeks to prepare for Tuesday night’s game.
Addison McMillan, ’27 stated, “The practices were always fun, we would do drills and the coaches would help us with our positions.”
Malakai Mays was the proud offensive coach for the junior class.
Although he said they only held 3 practices, the juniors still came out “on top.”
“My favorite part was helping coach the girls and trying to win. The practices weren’t that hard. The girls were willing to learn and give it their best,” Mays added.
