hey trained hard, practicing every day after school. Coach Gannaway and Lee Dickie taught the fundamentals and planned the strategy. The juniors were as ready as they could be. But with a year's experience under their belts, the seniors annihilated them 20- O. They took a 2-O lead in the first quarter on a safety. Juniors couldn't crank up an offense. Senior quarterback Linda Johnson had trouble throwing, but she had two hard running backs. Lisa Ralston scored the first touchdown on a short run. Amanda Lawrence, running like O, J. Simpson, broke 34 yards for the second. l-lalftime had as much action as the game. The t'band marched in non- formations as raw eggs hurtled overhead between the benches. Senior coaches Yoakum, Dickie, and Henderson stuck to the ground game second half, and scored on a surprise pass from Linds Johnson to tight end Isabelle Wolf in the 4th quarter. After their stunning victory, the senior girls dissolved their rivalry with the juniors and both groups left chilly Veterans Field in search of more excitement at C-atti's or Northcross Mall. Junior Powder Puff Cheerleaders show their grace at coordination at the Powder Puff pep rally. Senior Rosanne Rennscheidt screams at the juniors during the Powder Puff game. Senior Linda Johnson throws a pass during the wild melee, hoping another senior will catch it. Melanie Warwick dodges a quick moving junior in an attempt to score for the senior Powder Puf- fers. Kerri Campbell grabs Nina Mullen's flag as she attempts to gain points for the juniors.
