On Monday, September 10, about fifty Fossil Ridge High School girls took the field for the annual Powder Puff tournament. This year, the event was run by Key Club, rather than Student Council, but many traditions remained the same. As per Sabercat custom, the teams were divided by class, with the freshmen wearing black, the sophomores in white, the juniors in grey, and the seniors in green. Each team played one another once, and after the three matches were complete, the freshmen claimed victory. They went 3-0, with the sophomores coming in second with a record of 2-1. The juniors won one game and lost two; the seniors came in last with a 0-3 record.

Each game lasted twenty minutes, with each ten minute half followed by a two minute halftime. The flag football matches mimicked traditional football as much as possible, with touchdowns worth six points, along with the possibility of a two-point conversion. Field goals and extra points were eliminated, as the games were played on only half a field and therefore didn’t have goalposts. Safeties were also allowed, and played a critical role in the final scores of several of the games.
