Flournoy turns on jets

The Junior girls sped past the Senior girls in the annual Powder Puff game this year, benefitting Project Graduation, three TDs to two.  The Juniors took an early two touchdown lead, including a 55 yard sprint to the end zone from Sara Flournoy on the 2nd play of the game.  The Seniors kept it close after a slow start but could not overcome the Junior’s speed.

Seniors had won the previous two years.  And – let’s say it all together – the cheerleaders were still ugly.
