This year’s event may be cancelled, but there’s hope for a 2021 grudge match.

Armijo was scheduled to have its annual Powder Puff game on Friday, May 15, but with Shelter-in-Place extended to May 17, and schools closed for the remainder of the school year due to COVID-19, that annual tradition will not be happening. Even if school was to be in session, social distancing would eliminate all chance of having a game of this type.

Powder Puff is a flag football game between females of each grade level. The Freshmen and Sophomores would make up the junior varsity teams and the Juniors and Seniors would play the varsity game. Males from each grade level would be cheering from the sidelines, often dressed up in traditional cheer costumes.

Since the game has been cancelled, the winning teams from last year’s games will be able to hold on to bragging rights and can consider themselves victorious until the next match-up in 2021. That means that the Class of 2021 will once again meet up with their rival team from 2022, the same match-up as they had in 2019. We’ll have to wait a year to see who ends up the champions.
