Nine girls got the chance to throw a spiral, sprint for a touchdown, or reel in a pass on Ted Slavin Field after school in the annual Powder Puff football game on Friday, Oct 2.
Greg Comanor â10 and Andrew Goldberg â10 organized the event through Facebook, and the two of them along with a few other football players helped facilitate the informal game.
The game was two-hand touch and played on half of the field.
The football players sometimes played quarterback and strategized with and coached their teams.
“There were only a few people but it was really fun because the people that did it really, really had fun,” Comanor said.
“I was sore for days,” player Cindy Ok â10 said.
“It wasnât as amazing as we thought because it was not as many people as the football team wanted but it was funny,” Catie Yagher â10 said.
“It was hilarious because we all fell and tried to tackle each other and it didnât work out.”
She said her favorite part was “probably practicingâ¦.before and trying to teach Dani Wright â10 how to catch a football.”
