Powder Puff debut ends in game loss, but moral victory
PEABODY — A second-half rally wasn't enough for Peabody High's Powder Puff team to tie up Saturday's game against Revere.
The first Tanners team lost, 14-7, but theirs was a valiant effort for their first outing, Principal Edward Sapienza said. On a late-in-the-game drive, the Tanners took the ball up to the Patriots' 20-yard line but couldn't put points on the board before the buzzer, according to Sapienza.
"Part of it was just because of our newness to it, and Revere's veteran status," he said.
The principal, also the offensive-line coach, said Revere scored quickly on the first drive up the field. The opponents put 14 up on the scoreboard before the Tanners answered with seven points of their own.
Sapienza said Peabody's defense turned up the heat, holding Revere to 14 points overall. All the points were scored in the first half.
"Both teams played admirably," he said. "It was a strong, strong competition. Our kids didn't give up."
