The boys’ Laker football team had retired their jerseys and were ready to be spectators for awhile. The classic rivalry between the senior women and the junior girls was about to begin — the annual Laker Powder Puff football game. The Superior Seniors” were ready to put the Jukin’Juniors” in their place, while the junior team was determined to show the seniors that tradition can be broken. On this blustery, bone-chilling night of December 5, an energetic crowd eagerly awaited the first kickoff. Both teams had been preparing for the big event, suffering through cold, rainy practices on the muddy football field. Laker football men taught plays and the basic fundamentals of the game. Steve Miller formed the backbone of the Junkin’ Juniors' coaching staff, and Casey Ogan and Matt Sutter lent their vast knowledge of the game to help the senior women become a dominating team. When the game finally got under way, all the talk of who was going to beat who, meant nothing; it was now time to play. The juniors scrambled for yards, and then the seniors would push them back. The ball changed hands many times before it ever got into an end zone. The seniors carried the ball into the end zone for the first touchdown with the strong running of Michele Clark and the stiff blocking of Janne Janker. The seniors drafted linewoman Janker from Denmark. No one scored again, and the game ended with a traditional senior victory. 6-0 was the final score, and the money made at the ticket office was donated to the canned food drive.
