Senior Alexus Cole walked out onto the playing field with a look of intensity and a feeling of determination. Blocking out all of the noise around her, she put her focus on the football and how to get hold of it as fast as possible. The whistle sounded, marking the beginning of Anson’s first Powderpuff Game in years, and, within seconds, Alexus had scored the first touchdown!
“I felt tired and very accomplished. I was happy that I was able to contribute to the team and to the school,” she said.
Not only Anson High School participated though. The Anson New Tech and YCC program joined in on the game, which took place on Wednesday, Oct. 7, at the football stadium, marking one of the first times that the three schools had combined together for some friendly fun!
AHS Principal Chris Stinson hopes that the Powderpuff Game, which is when the girls play football and boys root them on as the cheerleaders, will continue on for years to come due to the tremendous success of this year’s match. In the game, the underclassmen girls took on the upperclassmen girls.
While the upperclassmen emerged victorious, both teams were proud to be involved in such an enjoyable experience that they will be sure to remember when looking back on their high school years.
