Seniors dominate in RHS powder puff game

By Taylor Gribble RHS Stentor

On Nov.12, Renaissance hosted its annual powder puff game, during which the roles were reversed and the boys cheered and coached from the sidelines as the girls played a heated game consisting of 10-minute halves.

As a tradition, the freshmen competed against the juniors and the sophomores competed against the seniors. The winners from both rounds then face off in an epic final championship.

“I enjoyed coaching the senior girls. They worked hard and we balled on everybody; period,” said Andrei Nichols.

The senior class won the game, 13-7.

“This was my first year playing, and I really enjoyed the experience. Even though it rained, we had great spirits, and we really enjoyed ourselves,” said sophomore Deshonda Johnson.

Every year the newspaper staff hosts the powder puff game to raise money to cover printing expenses for five issues of the Phoenix Rising. They plan to add a spring game in 2016.

“It was cool winning the Powder Puff game since it’s my last year here at Renaissance even though we played the sophomores twice,” said senior Kara Macharia.
