Roller Derby

My sister in law, Katie (aka The Force), is involved in many different things. Tonight we were able to support her and the Sin City Roller Girls at their opening season bout tonight. Katie is part of the Tommy Gun Terrors. She is usually a jammer, which is the girl that makes it through the pack to score points. When she's not a jammer, she's a pivot/blocker who are the girls that try to take anyone and everyone out.

Gretchen and the girls and their cousin, Briana, were able to go with Jason, mom and I as we met up with Mike, Bobby and Jenny to watch the game. Mike and Bobby saved front row seats on crash corner (the corner that gets the most action). Jenny, the little girls and I sat on the floor in front of them which the little girls loved cause they got to see dog piles and crashes right in front of us!

The first half of the game TGT was down by half the points. It was 52 to 24 and then it was 67 to 36. By the end of the bout, TGT got back in gear and was able to makeit a very close bout. The final score we're not sure of cause they kept changing it, but it was 92ish to 94ish. So, it was a close game if they did win or lose (I'll have to ask Katie for sure who won). There were many crashes, a dogpile up and a lot more fun and most importantly, nachos.

Their next bout is November 14th at the Sahara Event Center (Sahara and Maryland) at 7 pm against the Notorius V.I.P.'s. Tickets are $7 when purchased in advance, otherwise they're $10 at the door.Kids under 10 and EMT's are free as long as they can provide proof of being an EMT.
