The junior class broke an eight year losing streak with a 28-14 win over the senior class in the powderpuff football game on Oct. 11.
“To be honest, I didn’t really think we were going to win,” junior Peyton Emory said. “But it felt really great especially considering that there were more senior girls playing out there than juniors.”
For powderpuff coach and senior Sam Poggioli, a win would have been the redemption he was searching for after losing Powderpuff last year.
“[The seniors] did not redeem themselves because our seniors lost to the juniors,” Poggioli said. “All the coaches felt like we let our players and our class down after losing.”
After taking on an early lead of 14-0, the seniors gave up a touchdown on the last play of the first half, before the juniors took the lead in the third quarter.
“It was really exciting and nerve wracking because all of us juniors thought we were going to lose up until that point,” junior Izzie Moutinho said.
Despite the competitiveness of the game, it served as an opportunity to build new relationships.
“I didn’t know some of the people I was playing with, but over the course of the two weeks we were practicing I became friends with them,” Moutinho said.
