On Thursday, November 17, 1983, the juniors and seniors met for the annual powderpuff game. Many hours were spent practicing for the “main event.” The seniors and sophomores were teamed against the juniors and freshmen. Friendships were laid aside for that one day. Everyone was look- ing for a victory. The day of the big game could have been called “reverse” day. It was quite a sight — girls with jerseys and boys with cheerleading uniforms. Coaches for the blue team in- cluded Todd Hudson, Randy War- ren, and Benjy Black. The white team was coached by Barry Stew- art, Rob Young, Keith Warren, and Shan Pye. Cheers for the sen- iors were lead by Reggie Woods, Van Boynton, Jeff Searson, and Todd Buddin. The junior cheer- leaders included Bert Snyder, Robbie Free, Keith Hadwin, and Rhett Turner. Three seniors ran for “powderpuff queen.” John “Juanita” Bryan, Joey “Jolene” Stacks Ritter, and Glenn “Glen- da” Beach. The entire student Friend Vs.
