The Pink Bow Classic is an annual event held by Clear Creek High School in which girls had the opportunity to partake in all the fun of playing a football game. In the event, 11th and 12th grade girls compete in a tag team football match between two teams divided into seniors and juniors. The game is used to raise money for the Senior Prom in May. The game was played at CCISD District Stadium at 7:00 p.m. on December 5. Students, family, and friends were encouraged to come out and watch the event despite the chilly weather. While the girls were playing football, the boys on the other hand were performing as the all boy dance Swaggalier team. They were able to show off their dance moves during the halftime show, which they traditionally do every year. “Being one of the coaches for the Swaggaliers was so much fun and an unforgettable experience! It was a pleasure coaching such hard working boys. They pulled off a very crowd pleasing performance and I hope they know their coaches are extremely proud of them!” Casey Dervay (12th) said, as a captain of the Cavaliers and a coach of this year’s Swaggaliers.

The game itself consisted of two, twenty five minute halves, with a running clock that only stopped at the two minute warning at the end of each half, and incomplete passes or running out of bounds. Two timeouts were allowed for each team per half of the game, each timeout being one minute long. If a team decided to call a timeout within the last minute of the game, the game clock stopped, but it did not stop for any timeout called prior to the one-minute mark. Just like the regular rules of the boys’ football competition, the game was aimed to be clean and safe. This included zero tolerance of profanity, pushing, hitting, tripping, spitting, flipping, clipping, clawing, and no throwing of one’s elbows. Tickets were for sale at the gate that night for $7.00, but presale tickets were also available on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday that week during all lunches for only $5.00. The Pink Bow Classic ended in victory for the senior class, as they defeated the juniors. The game had a great turn out, with many students and teachers who participated in the event. “I can not wait until I am a junior so I can play too,” Nicole Johnson (9th) said.
