Senior Talia Salanto is one of the captains for the Powderpuff team which will be facing off against Foran on Tuesday, November 21. Advocate Sports Editor Bobby Black interviewed Salanto about the annual rivalry game. 

Bobby Black: How is the team preparing for the Powderpuff game?

Talia Salanto: We have prepared by practicing every day and the coaches have watched Foran’s film of plays from in the past so that our defense can prepare as well. 

BB: What are some team goals for the game?

TS: Our goals this year are to score more and win because last year we were unable to score. 

BB: Who are the captains for the team this year?

TS: The captains this year are Zoe Johnson, Marissa Wargo, Helen Chizmazia and myself. 

BB: How often do the people participating in Powderpuff practice?

TS: Around 90 girls signed up but only a portion of them plan to actually play. Those who do intend to play have practiced every day after school and one practice on Saturday morning each week. 

BB: Is their any pressure for the game?

TS: The only pressure is that it is the last chance for the seniors to win, but other than that the game is just for fun.
