Powder Puff banquet

I had the pleasure of speaking at Sunday night’s Lyman Hall Powder Puff awards banquet for the 2008 team. The turnout (around 150 players and parents) and the camaraderie was impressive. It reminded me that the game was started to encourage senior girls to get to know classmates outside their social circle. Since the game is nearly 40 years old, there were about 10 girls in attendance whose moms had also played powder puff. Maybe next year we can do a mother-daughter article before the big game.
The stories told by players, coaches and former coaches were great. I shared some of my own memories of covering and watching the game. If you have a powder puff memory you would like to share, please post it here. Leave your name and class if you would like. I’ll try to read some on my daily video.
