Powder Puff Ends in Sophomore Victory
After losing last year’s Powder Puff event, the sophomore class returned with a victory this year, turning last year’s loss into a comeback. This year’s Powder Puff brought together girls from all four grade levels for a tournament-style flag football competition. Football players coached teams representing the freshman, sophomore, junior and senior classes. Coach Burkett, who helped plan the event, said most teams recruited players in the weeks leading up to Powder Puff, while coaches came up with plays to go over with their teams before the game. For Burkett, one of the highlights was, “watching all the kids get excited on different plays, and then watching the sophomores win it all in overtime.” The victory carried extra meaning for the sophomores after their loss in last year’s Powder Puff game. Ava Murdock, a sophomore who participated in the event, said, “We needed it because last year we lost and it was very disappointing, but this year after the win, I think it was enjoyable for everybody.” Communication also played a role in the team’s performance. “We communicated a lot and we had, like, a huddle after every play,” sophomore Zoe Case said.

Model grounds Eagles in homecoming shutout
Football coaches always preach the importance of playing well in all three phases of the game. The Model High Blue Devils did that Friday and then some, bludgeoning the visiting Mount Zion Eagles of Carroll County 42-0 on Homecoming night at Model’s Woodard-Tuggle Stadium. The Blue Devils forced four Eagle turnovers on defense, dominated the ground game on offense, and returned a blocked field goal over 80 yards for a score on special teams. All of this followed Model’s first loss of the 2026 season, and so it improved to 5-1 overall and 2-1 in Region 6-AA. Mount Zion has lost three straight to fall to 2-4 overall and 0-3 in the region. “It was big for our kids to recover in the way that they did (after last week’s loss to Bremen) … we talked about what would be our response, and I thought it was pretty good, especially early,” said Model head coach Jeff Hunnicutt. “We talked about our character a lot this week, and at the end of the day, your character is going to carry you a lot further in life than any shutout or any win. I was happy for our kids … I enjoyed
