A group of junior and senior girls from Jonathan Law are preparing for this year’s Powder Puff game against Foran.

Powder Puff is a flag football game with teams made up of junior and senior girls and they play against rival Foran. This year the game will be Tuesday, November 22, at 6:00 p.m. at Foran.

Law won last year’s Powder Puff game 8-6 in double overtime.

“Coaching Powderpuff is so enjoyable because it’s something so new. These are all varsity athletes who learn the sport in just over a week,” Head Coach Mr. O’Reilly said. “They go from not knowing what a first down is to remembering 40 plays in just nine days.”

Senior quarterback Sabrina Lawless is looking forward to playing with the rest of the team 

“We’re definitely clicking together very well, getting through on our runs, knowing where we’re pushing certain girls,” Lawless said. “We’re working together very well.”

Senior running back and wide receiver Elly Van Waveren is certain that they will get a win for Law. For the past two weeks, the team has been working on offensive and defensive skills.

“I strongly believe we will beat Foran again this year,” Waveren said. “Our defense is so strong I don’t see how they could score on us and offense is nonstop perfecting all of our plays.”

Senior outside linebacker Demi Carrapico is pumped for the upcoming game and excited to showcase what the team has been working towards.

“At first it was a bit of a slow start, but we’re definitely picking it up. It’s looking really good,” Carrapico said. “I know that we can implement that on the night we go against Foran.”

Junior Liv Hudak is excited to be on the team and loves collaborating with her friends and teammates.

“We’re all getting used to the positions and we’re doing really well as a team,” Hudak said. “I love that all my friends are there with me and I love the position I am playing.”

The girls enjoy working together and everyone is excited about their upcoming match. 

O’Reilly is confident they can take Foran and get a victory 

“There’s never been a game I coached in, where I didn’t think we were gonna beat Foran,” O’Reilly said.
