Seniors Leave Clover Hill is a school full of traditon. One of its many traditions includes a fall classic known as the Junior-Senior Powder Puff game. This event puts Junior against Senior girls in a game of flag football. The purpose of the game is to promote class unity and school spirit. The 1983 Powder Puff resulted in a narrow 8-0 victory for the senior team. The Juniors staged a dramatic comeback at the end of the game, only to be stopped by the senior defense on the one yard-line as time expired. Senior coach Bryan Burmaster said, “the unexpected loss of cornerback Karen Downey to injury turned out to be a blessing in disguise. When she got injured we (the coaches) turned to speedster Marsha Turner, who ended up making the saving tackle on Junior end Julie Edmonds.” Both coaching staffs commended their players for their play in the game. Students were dismissed from the last class period to attend the game. An admission of 50 cents was charged, with the proceeds going to the senior class. Even with the absence of the traditional male cheerleaders, the student body responded with enthusiasm. 12 Powder Puff With A Victory above- Coaches Darrell Hobson and Bryan Burmaster give instruction and spirit. right- Intensity is high on the sidelines as head Coach Darrell and Senior girls look on. below- Debbie Gayle leads way for Karen Carter to make a big gain for Seniors. lower right- Donita Harlowe dives in vain to catch a pass.
