Brianna Goecke is pumped about her first year in powderpuff and is determined to win. The annual girl’s powderpuff game is coming up! The date is set for Nov. 9. The start time is planned for 2:00 p.m. but may change to 4:00 p.m. pending the football team's postseason. There are some courageous juniors and seniors stepping up to take on this boy’s game, in a much lighter version of course. The powderpuff game consists of four, ten-minute quarters of flag football. It has been an Audubon High School tradition for six years. The participants are all doing their part to get pumped up for the game.
“My strategy is to work with my teammates, and do everything we can to just catch the ball and run with it,” said junior powderpuff player, Brianna Goecke. She enjoys the game because “it’s a tradition, and the girls are just as tough as guys.”
Taking things a little more seriously, senior coach Trevor Smith has a different strategy for his team and he said that it is too top secret to share with the press. “No comment, I wouldn’t want to reveal my strategy.” However, he said he plans on making sure his team comes out inspired and ready to play. Smith said, “We are going to be strong as a team. That’s what this game is about.”
Rachel Lewis, a senior powderpuff player, is all about having her team work together and rack up the points. She plans on pumping her team up by simply telling them, “To just go out and have some fun!”
Powderpuff is a fairly new tradition at Audubon, and Lewis said, “It’s the closest thing we have to tackle football for girls, and we all like football. We need to have a girls team! Not to mention, it helps with teamwork and bonding as a class.”
