Powder Puff is sponsored by Student Council and is a competitive flag football game between our senior and junior class girls. While the girls play, Mr. Acker and Mr. Mason will be coaching along with the football team. With this switch up, junior and senior boys are also being asked to take the place of cheerleaders for the game. You can look forward to a PT’s food truck and lots of laughs during this once-a-year tradition. The game will take place at seven o’clock on Wednesday, October 16th and tickets will be on sale for five dollars.

Prior to this event, Hoggard administration will also be cutting our school day a bit short to encourage our school spirit during our first pep rally of the school year. Our traditional homecoming pep rally will feature games, dances, cheers, and much more that all athletes and students can look forward to. Some highlights from last year’s pep rally include teacher dances, homecoming court competitions, and our very own dance team's impressive routine.
