VCHS Powder Puff Football 2011

In a thrilling defensive battle, the class of 2011 defeated the class of 2012 by a score of 6-0 in this year's Powder Puff Football Classic at Valley Center High School.
The seniors scored early in the first half when tailback Kelly Hagadorn took a pitch from quarterback Victoria Navarro and rumbled in from four yards out for the touchdown, bowling over defenders and stretching the ball across the goal line for the score.

This year the CIFSDS will induct its inaugural class into the CIFSDS Hall of Fame to recognize the athletic achievement of its scholar athletes. Selected athletes will be honored at a special event to recognize their achievement. Schools, coaches and the community are invited to nominate individuals and be a part of the process.
Log on to the CIFSDS web site at cifsds.org and click on the prompt to submit your nominations through March 4.
A person can be nominated once; multiple nominations will not affect the selection. Nominate current seniors, graduated athletes, coaches, officials, or community volunteers with significant participation to improving the sport. Provide the name, school, reason for your nomination and any contact information for the nominee. All nominations will be maintained for future consideration. A distinguished media panel representing every decade of high school competition will review nominations and select individuals to be inducted as the Class of 2011, based on their high school careers.
There have been glorious moments of athletic achievement and demonstrated sportsmanship during the past 50 years; it is time for the CIFSDS to celebrate its own and their accomplishments. The San Diego Section community is committed to the values of educational high school athletics and must honor those who have honored their schools and community.
