The Junior Class was led by coaches Nickolas Cappolina, Colby Kuhn, and Amanda Silvesti.

Junior Brianna Pacilli said, “Powder puff was an amazing  experience to be apart of. The team was supportive of one another even if we made the littlest mistakes.” 

Powder puff games are a nationwide event that most high school students attend, but do they actually know the history behind it? Powder puff first made an appearance in the 1945, but became more well known in the 1970s.  Additionally, powder puff was first played in colleges, but is now played in high schools.
