Powder Puff History Set Coldness in the air did not stop the fans or players Thursday night, November 15, 1979 as the Powder Puff football game began. Fans snuggling up to blankets and each other and screaming for their team. The entire first half was a complete see-saw battle until the last few minutes when the seniors would have had a touchdown if it hadn’t been for penalities. At the beginning of the half time festivities the contest was still scoreless. As the teams went to their sides to figure out their strategy for the last half of the game, fans were entertained by the Powder Puff Homecoming Court. The first runner up was Miss Richard “‘Raquel’’ Shuford 50 Powder Puff escorted by Mr. Julie ‘Junior’’ Poston and homecoming queen was Miss Todd ‘‘Hotsy Totsy’’ Hoppes escorted by Mr. Shannon McSwain. As the third quarter began tension was in the air. Trying to out do each other there was no success. Fourth quarter started with both teams fired up. Excitement struck the field when senior Denise Thurman (85) made the first touchdown. This brought the score of the Blue team (seniors) 6 and White team 0. But the juniors didn’t give up hope, they fought with four seconds left in the game. Junior quarterback Valerie Baker (10) scored a touchdown for the juniors as snow flakes fell. With no seconds left on the clock the final score was 6 all. The Powder Puff Cheerleaders try their hand at being girls. These are a few of our young men: Kim Dover, Wade Owens, Kyle Izokovic, Randy McKee, Keith Allen and Al Floyd.
