Powder Puff Friday Night Lights benefitting GRHS Yearbook

By Storie Sharp

The Glen Rose High School Yearbook Staff has enticed the ladies of GRHS to put down the powder puffs and put on the pads – with a gridiron game scheduled for Friday, May 16, 2008. The games will begin at 5:00 p.m. with simultaneous match-ups between the Seniors and Freshmen and the Juniors and the Sophomores. The winners of the first two matches will meet up in the finals, scheduled to begin at approximately 6:30 p.m.

Teachers and parents have been drafted to act as officials for the games and special coaches and cheerleaders will keep the action rolling on the field.

Interested athletes only had to pay a $12 to play in the 2008 Glen Rose Tigers Powder Puff game. Proceeds from the gate, $2 for adults and students, $1 for students under 12, and money raised in the concessions that will be available during the games, will go to the 2008 Yearbook organization.

In the preliminary round, the senior team of Crystal Guzman, Kelly Glass, Anna Ruiz, E. Ibarra, Kelsey Livingston, Whitley Patterson, Sam Watson, Amanda Pagnano, Dinah Goodson, Jamie Sparks, Mimi Navarrete, Meagan Talley, and Bethany Vidaurri will take on the Freshman team of Katie Uehlein, Veronica Villa, Dallas Burch, Rebecca Hajny, Jessie Calkins, Ashley Corcoran, and Rachel Freehill.

At the same time, the junior team of Mary Robin Cole, Brielle Nicholson, Marissa Ballesteros, Bailey Rogers, Lauren Koerner, Cortney Talley, Nereida Funez, Ashton Edwards, and Alexandra Cockerham will meet up with sophomores Anjelica Lisauckis, Skylar Schnieder, Kaycie Brown, Caitlyn Lankford, Danielle Whitlock, Kitty Navarrete, Katie McAnally, Haley Knox, Hannah Martin, Jenna Lopez, Kimberly Struble, and Haley Coffer.

Coaches for this year’s team will be Stetson Murdock, Jorge Espino, Chase Evatt, Curran Morrison, Trey Nabours, Colt Plaster, Reagan Rotan, Shelby Junge, Ty Taylor, Abel Hernandez , Taylor Nabours, Samuel Ibarra, Arturo Villa, Jonathon Ortega, Tanner Yocham, Trent Manning, and Dylan Mobly.

And last, but surely not to be missed in the least, are the 2008 Powder Puff Cheerleaders that will be cheering their teams on to victory, Chris Meadors, Chadwick Velazquez, Lee Ramirez, Samuel Ibarra and Jonathon Ortega. (All names are as of press time – rosters are subject to change before actual game time.)

Show your support of the GRHS Yearbook Staff and don’t miss one last Friday Night under the Lights at Tiger Stadium for the 2007-2008 school year.
