Seniors tackle juniors in Powder Puff
by Misty Volaski

It was everything the seniors hoped for: a big win and lots of money for their big night.
With senior Alicia Cattoni leading the way with two touchdowns, the class of 2002 dominated the junior class, 16-2.
The juniors were led by varsity soccer player Ally Taylor. "They kept giving the ball to her," said senior Nadia Osborn, who also played in last year's game as a junior.
The juniors' two points came from a saftey.
The name of the game is rather deceiving- this girl-power upper-classwoman battle, which is a tradition at Nordhoff, proved much more "hard core," with decorated cars, marker-decorated arms and legs and determination that could intimidate even the biggest linebacker.
This was also the first year that the Powder Puff Flag Football game was held in the evening, and the first time admission was charged.
The funds raised from the event went to the senior class to put toward their Safe and Sober Grad Night. A total of $300 was raised.
"It was really competitive and aggressive, but after the game we were all friends again," said Osborn of the experience. "It was just good clean fun."
