Jonathan Law’s Powderpuff team is getting ready to kick-off their game against Foran on November 26 at Foran High School. Advocate Editor-in-Chief Kayla Markowitz interviewed senior Ella Franzman for a play-by-play on how the Lawmen are preparing for the big night.  

Kayla Markowitz: How is the team preparing for the upcoming Powderpuff game?

Ella Franzman: Defensively, we are preparing for Powderpuff by first working in drills and position skill workouts and then putting it all together to then go and scrimmage with offense. We have been working very hard every day and constantly finding and using different strategies to figure out what works best for the team.Offensively we are working hard at getting the plays down and trying to get as many reps with each play that we can. We want to make sure that everyone is comfortable so that for the game everything just feels natural.

KM: What are some successes the team is having ?

EF: Some success that the team has been having is consistency. We have been all showing up with a positive attitude willing to work and to perform at a high level so that in a week or so we can go into Foran and have the positive outcome we want. 

KM: What are some challenges the team is facing? 

EF: Some challenges that we are facing is figuring out who is right and wrong for positions. We are trying to figure out exactly how we want to attack on defense and what we think will work the best. 

KM: What is your favorite part about the team? 

EF: My favorite part of the team is being out there with everyone and just having fun. We are serious at some points in practice but we are also able to have fun and play a sport that we wouldn’t ever think to play. It’s also so cool to see all these juniors and seniors come out for Powderpuff work hard for two weeks and then go to play a game. Learning all these different positions can be so difficult so it’s really cool to see everyone pick up a position and learn it in such a short time. 

KM: What are some team goals you hope to achieve?

EF: Some team goals we hope to achieve is to continue to work hard at practice and listen to the coaches’ feedback, and then ultimately get the win at Foran.
