OWDERTU FF: gurls cop clty crown With the controversy of whether Powderpuff football should become a regular fall sport hanging over them, the Big Sky girls touch football squad nonetheless won the city crown for the second consecutive year. The first game of the girls season took place during homecoming week, when they defeated Hellgate 25-19. The game was wide open with both teams racking up impressive yar- dage statistics. The game was also very tough for the girls on defense because they had a hard time pulling the flags of their op- ponents. The difficulty of grabb- ing flags accounted for the high score. Senior Dawn Piatek romped for two touchdowns on quarterback sweeps, while senior Speedster Kim Twingley added two touchdowns on reverses from Piatek. The staunch Eagle defense made a goal-line stand on the one yard line to hold off the Knights for the win. The game against the Spartans was a defensive affair. The Eagles defeated Sentinel 13-0. The game was very low scoring because Sentinel opted to play touch football instead of by Flag rules. That made it a much easier game for the defensive squad to play because all they had to do was touch their opponents and not grab their flags. Piatek again provided heroics, tossing two touchdowns passes to Twingley for the only scores of the game. In the second half the Eagle squad struck quickly for two touchdowns to break the game open. It had been deadlock- ed at 0-0 at halftime. The Eagles promptly worked down field on the passing arm of Piatek, who tossed the first scor- ing strike to Twingley on a 24-yard throw in the right flat. After the two teams battled on even terms for the rest of the quarter, Piatek again hit Twingley in paydirt - this one a 30-yard score. The conflict that arose after their season was over was whether the girls should be able to letter, or if it should stay the same. Junior Mary Loren said, Powderpuff football should stay just like it is because there pro- bably wouldn't be enough schools to participate in it to have a regular season. The conflict didn't stop the girls from sweeping victories over both Sentinel and Hellgate.
