Powder Puff night

Tonight was the Powder Puff football game at South Pasadena. My cold is getting much better, but I promised to help chaperone the game - so off Charlie and I went. Poor Old Chuck ends up chaperoning when I do - kind of unfair, but so it goes. We spent most of our evening taking tickets, sending kids to the ticket line when they tried to get in with Student Cards only, and checking hand stamps for the thousands(?) who wandered past moving from the senior girls side to the junior girls side. For those who don't know.... powder puff games are the senior girls vs. the junior girls in a version of tails foot ball. It's an odd type of game. No kicking, shortened field, and no first downs. Very odd. What happens is an occasional amazingly speedy girl breaks free and flies past the inept defense. Those speed demons were quite impressive. On the sides, the man-leaders (guys in shorts doing cheers of sorts) were randomly dancing for no reason. The game was a route - the seniors won 32 to 20 (it wasn't that close 10 minutes before the end- but an amazingly fast junior kept breaking for the end zone). Weird game.
