The annual Powderpuff game is quickly approaching and the Lady Lawmen are determined to come out of the game with a victory over the Lions. Last year’s loss has been brewing inside the girls all year long, so they are ready to get their revenge against Foran on Tuesday, November 21. 

The Powderpuff team is coached by Mr. O’Reilly. This is O’Reilly’s third year on the Powderpuff coaching staff and his second year as the head coach. O’Reilly will be assisted by other members of the Law staff to ensure the offense and defense are ready to go. Advocate Sports Editor Harry Fisher interviewed O’Reilly about this year’s game.

Harry Fisher: What have you been doing to prepare for the Powder Puff game this year?

Mr. O’Reilly: We’ve put in new plays this year and showed our defense what we think Foran is gonna run on offense.

HF: Is the team more motivated to play this year after losing last year?

MO: Absolutely. We want our trophy back on our side of the town. 

HF: What does this year’s Powder Puff roster look like?

MO: We have a great group of athletes that are all spread across the field. Having All-Staters like Caden Simpson, Mady Bull, Talia Salanto, and Claire Moulton is going to help a lot.

HF: Are you worried about the weather this year?

SO: I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t at least slightly worried, but I’m trying to stay optimistic. 

HF: Any predictions for the Powderpuff Game this year?

SO:  Win. I’ll always predict that we’re gonna win. Especially against Foran.
