Senior Josey Robbins scored both touchdowns, with one being a receiving touchdown from quarterback Layla Burgess.
The Powder Puff game was held to raise money for senior grad night. To further help raise funds, the senior cheerleaders ran a “dash for cash” around the crowd. Zane Clemmer gathered $350, the most among all cheerleaders, earning him recognition and a prize.
In total, the night raised $3,533.78, surpassing their $3,000 goal.
Junior quarterback Lily Admire appreciated the opportunity to play.
“It was a really competitive game and super fun to be a part of,” Admire told Falcon News.
Burgess addressed the trash talk from the juniors leading up to the game.
“The juniors had a lot to say before the game. I didn’t have any doubt, but I’m glad the seniors shut them up,” the quarterback said, “and shut them out.”
