Powderpuff 5eniors go 2-0 S o many have thought that the annual Powder Puff Competition was just another game, but if we took a second look at the teams we would notice that feelings of antici- pation, tension, frustration, and even anger were involved on both the junior and the se- nior sides. Both teams wanted to per- form well and most of all wanted to win. The juniors wanted to prove their determination and skill while the seniors wanted good memories of their last Powder Puff game. Outstanding performances came from senior Kathy Zurek who in the first quarter advanced her team’s position by 38 yards, with Karen Nagy completing the remaining 12 yards putting the seniors at an advantage of 6-0. Never the less the juniors were far from defeated. In the second quarter Quarterback Tracie Jones threw a 78 yard pass to Alisa Deering. Deering ran for the end zone and scored the junior’s first touch- down. As time was running out the seniors were able to ad- vance their position and score once more. The last attempt to score made by Tracie Jones was stiffled by senior Amy Sla- vena. Both teams performed ex- tremely well and the seniors were especially proud of their 14-6 victory, advancing their undefeated status to 2-0. ★ Violet Bogacz Root Micko Agony or ecstacy — Sharon Palu- ga’s face captures the emotion and spirit of Powderpuff. Tracie Jones breaks loose for a long gain against the senior defend- ers. Kristina Lee, Kathy Bandura, and Gail Fritter celebrate early as the Senior score mounts. 22 Powderpuff
