Corry High had their first annual Powder Puff game on Monday, October 24, held by Corry High Varsity & JV cheerleaders.

It was a flag football game with a twist. The cheerleaders and the football players switched roles. The cheerleaders played, and the football players cheered, coached, and officiated. The event started at 6 p.m. and ended at around 8 p.m. Admission was $3, and for every person $1 was donated to Pink Racks charity organization.

Grades 9-12 cheerleaders played in the game split into two different teams: the black team and the pink team. The Senior & Sophomore cheerleaders were the pink team, and the Juniors & Freshman were the black team. The football players were the cheerleaders, refs, and coaches.

The pink team seniors and sophomores won, with a final score being 22-8.

Captain Brilie Tasker gave her input on why she and other cheerleaders chose this event, charity, and how she thought the game went.

“We chose to do flag football because that is the sport we cheer for and we thought it would be funny if we could do what they do,” Tasker said. “We chose Pink Racks as the charity because it’s October which is breast cancer awareness month and we wanted to support them and raise awareness. I think the game went well. It was kinda hectic, but we all had a lot of fun. Both teams played well.”

One of the two captains who coached the winning team was Cole Nickerson.

“I really enjoyed coaching for the Powder Puff game, especially when it was for a wonderful cause.” Nickerson said. “The game went really well, especially after my team won. Our tactic to the game offensive was to run trick plays to keep the defense on their toes. On defense, the goal coming into the game was to rally to the football and pull the flag.”
