Manual girls meet for Powderpuff game

Spencer Kincaid • October 28, 2014

Manual’s junior and senior Powderpuff teams faced off at Manual Stadium last Wednesday, October 22 as part of the annual Red/White Week tradition, ending with a Senior victory of 24-12.

The all-girls flag football game is a popular tradition for many high schools across the country, and it is usually for fundraising purposes. The $2 admissions fee went towards the junior and senior proms.

The Powderpuff game also included a performance by the junior and senior male cheerleading squads, commonly referred to as the “LoverBoyz.”

As soon as halftime started, the LoverBoyz raced onto the field for a senior/junior dance-off.

"We haven't done that in over a year and that was the first time we tried doing getting someone up there since then. I almost fell," Noah Rough said. — The LoverBoyz hold up Noah Rough (12, J&C)(Left) and Daniel Segal (12,HSU)(Right) for a halftime cheer. “We haven’t done that in over a year and that was the first time we tried doing getting someone up there since then.
