Juniors Take over Powderpuff By: Gunner Delp
This year’s annual Powderpuff game took place on Friday, September 19th. After beating the Freshmen and Sophomore girls in the first rounds of the competition, the Seniors and Juniors, respectively, took to the final game and the score ended up being 16 - 8 with the Juniors taking the win. Seniors played hard against the Juniors and put forth their best efforts. Senior Grace Downing states, “We got beat, but it was still fun!” The game may have been a competitive game, but in the end it was all positive vibes and laughter. The Juniors played well and worked well together in order to accomplish their win against the Seniors. “We were all working together and no one was really mad at each other,” says Junior Camry Hanshaw. The annual Powderpuff game was a blast, as always. Make sure to show up and show out for your DeKalb High School girls next year. The Powderpuff games take place on the afternoon of Homecoming every school year.
