The competition began with the freshmen girls challenging the seniors. The young challengers failed in their attempt to move on in the competition and fell by a score of 21-0.

The sophomores then challenged the juniors for a chance to play the senior girls in the final, championship round. In a close contest, the sophomores came out on top, 16-14, and went on to play the seniors.

It didn't take long for the seniors to score two touchdowns and an extra point while keeping the sophomores out of their endzone for the 13-0 win and 2019 powderpuff football bragging rights.

To add to the excitement of the afternoon event, boys from each class served as cheerleaders and urged fans to support their class teams.
