Krunching for KC
DST Perspectives Magazine - June 2003

Two DST associates and the daughter of an NFDS associate played the debut season with the Kansas City Krunch, one of the newer teams in the young semi-pro National Women's Football Association (NWFA). The Krunch ended its first season with a 5-3 record. Teams play from April through June, when playoffs begin. DST is one of the team's sponsors.

TA2000 staff analyst programmer Jennifer House plays offensive guard, TA2000 Voice senior programmer Becky Person plays right tackle and Deaven Workman, daughter of NFDS client service rep Paula Workman, is a linebacker.

Neither Jennifer nor Deaven has played organized football before, though they are both involved in athletics. Paula says her daughter, Deaven, won a softball scholarship to college. Jennifer play softball and volleyball; she is a member of DST's Corporate Challenge team. Becky played what was called "Powder Puff Football" back in high school, even though it was tackle, and played without pads. She has in the past played softball in the Corporate Challenge.

The Krunch is one of 30 teams in the NWFA. The Midwest division also includes St. Louis, Evansville and Oklahoma.
