Down, set, hut, hut, hut...

Thursday night the Evans High women faculty got their revenge on this year's senior girls. After getting whooped in an extremely scrappy faculty/student basketball game this winter, we came back with a vengeance for senior week frivolity in the Powder Puff football game. I had a whole career in a 40 minute game. In the first half, I caught a glorious Hail Mary pass which I ran into the end zone for a touchdown. I also had a pretty darn amazing (for me that is) interception which I ran for a few yards before getting "tackled" ( this is flag football) by much faster, and younger, opponents. In addition to these career highlights, I also managed to give myself a black eye by running into my own quarterback. I followed up this swift move with a fumble onto which I quickly, and may I add painfully, belly-flopped. Some other notable performances were CC Armstrong's two touchdown catches under heavy coverage, Claudia Mahaffie's center sneak into the end zone, and Teresa Davis' incredible athletic prowess as our quarterback and our best flag tackler. She single-handedly saved the game by "tackling" the same girl three plays in a row.

I have several other mysterious bruises which are making themselves known, but I am proud of our 20-14 victory and the lumps we all took for the team. The faculty women were by far the more injured of the two teams, but I feel we won because we really, really wanted it. That, and losing to perky 18 year-olds is just not something that should happen twice in one school year.
