It was Thursday morning during Homecoming Week. The floors and walls of Lafayette seemed to be shaking. There was screaming coming from every part of the school. The Senior Men were dressed like members of a  boy band. Ah, who doesn’t love Powder Puff game day?

The excitement surrounding this year’s battle between the senior and junior girls in the Powder Puff game was as high as ever.

Both teams practiced hard to earn a victory. Apart from the first play of the game, an 80-yard touchdown pass to junior Kayla Hall, the game was never in doubt for the seniors. They took the victory in convincing fashion, 46-22.

“The best part of the win was when we rushed the field after the game,” senior Courtney Baker said.

Both teams were pulling out all of the stops to win the game, including trick plays.

“There was a trick play that one of the teams could actually pull off where two girls ran acting like they had the ball. When the juniors finally realize who had the ball we’d already scored,” Baker said.

The festivities that go along with the Powder Puff game are just as celebrated as the game. One of the most anticipated is Male Escadrille, where senior boys get a chance to do a dance routine at halftime.

“My favorite part of Powder Puff was definitely Male Escadrille,” Baker said.

Now the juniors can only wait until next year for their chance to beat the Class of 2013.
