Let’s Get Rough for Powder Puff

It’s time to “throw like a girl” again. No, that is not an insult, its anything but rude considering how beastly the FSU Panama City females are at throwing the pig skin.

FSU Panama City is hosting its second annual Powder Puff game in which the females play football, and the boys whip out the pom-poms.  

No big deal right? Wrong. Last year, the student players put on a show that still lingers in the minds of all who witnessed the glorious event, especially the losers. Pitted against each other, the female students took on, destroyed, and humiliated the female staff members in a crushing victory of 33-0. It was not that the staff players weren’t capable, it was that the students were stacked. 

Some even questioned whether some of the girls were abusing the ‘roids due to the obvious dominance. Coach John Daw denied such allegations of his players. Fortunately, all of the female students tested negative for any performance-enhancing drugs. They were found guilty of harboring an excessive amount of talent though. 

The backbone and quarterback of the student team, Mercedes “Taz” Ardley, carried the team with her impermeable defense that shut down the staff team. I recently caught up with Ardley, where the unanimous MVP of the game stated, “Jameis Winston could take a few notes.” Indeed, he could.

Not to mention, the male cheerleaders made quite the attractive pieces of eye-candy. In addition to the colorful pom-poms, the cheerleaders adorned pretty tutus embellished in glitter. 

With a great turnout to last year’s event, we can only expect to see an even greater audience presence in anticipation for another show-down. If you want to bask in another epic performance, mark your calendar for October 12th, 4:00 p.m. near the volleyball courts. Come watch the tough play in Powder Puff!
