Powderpuff is a reference to the division of a traditionally male sport reserved for females, regardless of the age of the participants.

Powderpuff football games are an annual tradition at many high schools and universities in the United States and Canada.

The game usually puts girls from the junior class against girls in the senior class, cross-town school rivals, or in Zachary's case, the cheerleaders against the dancers, in a flag football or touch football contest.

Boys from the classes, usually athletes, will be the cheerleaders.

The term originates from the powderpuff used in cosmetics for powdering. Typical female behavior at the time the term originated, included repeatedly taking out a powderpuff and a small mirror to powder themselves in public.

Powderpuff games usually occur before homecoming.

Good luck to both teams of the ZHS Powderpuff Football game!
