Foran defeated Law 7-0 in the annual Powder Puff game on November 22.

Although the result of the game wasn’t what they had hoped for, members of the team had fun playing and working together. 

“During the game I played aggressively,” junior linebacker Talia Salanto said. “It was enjoyable and fun for me which made it easier to dive at the other team and helped me be a good linebacker.” 

Junior running back and wide receiver Samantha Chy agreed.

“I think I did pretty well – I had a 50-yard run but I could have ran more vertically than horizontally during my other runs to get more yards,” Chy said. “Overall, it was fun and I enjoyed playing.” 

The result did not stop the team from having fun. They enjoyed the atmosphere and excitement of the game and loved competing against their crosstown rivals.

“If I could have done better It would have been to talk with the other lineman more about what we can do individually and together to have defended our offense better, “ senior center Nicolina Salanto said. “Foran’s defensive line came out strong.”

Head coach Mr. O’Reilly said he was proud of how hard the girls fought throughout the game.

“I thought despite the loss we handled ourselves admirably. We never gave up, and we put so much effort into those two weeks,” O’Reilly said. “Moving forward, I think a big thing to focus on next year is to win the battle of the lines. And get as much speed on our offense as possible.”

After the game, junior linebacker Marissa Wargo, who led Law in flags pulled, was named Team MVP for the game.
