Pine City High School kicked off Homecoming Week with a new event, a Powder Puff football game, on Sunday night under the lights.

In a soon-to-be classic game in Pine City, the junior girls challenged the senior girls to a game on the grid iron— no tackle, two hand touch. Nearly 30 girls showed up for the game.

Junior and senior football players officiated the match and served as coaches and cheerleaders for the event. Several boys also anchored the game as commentators in the officials’ booth.

The game was hard fought with a tied score most of the game when the juniors pulled ahead with Kayla Defenbaugh catching a pass from Kerrie Hughes to pull ahead of the seniors.

With one second left in the game, the seniors on defense forced a fumble, with Kaylee Shepard running the ball in to tie the score.

In overtime, the juniors scored off of a pass from Laura Linzmeier to win the game.

“It was so fun,” said junior Brooke Louden. “I hope we get a chance to do this again next year. I’m sure we’ll win next year too. Maybe we should practice some plays?”
