First up, we
have the coed teams battle each other out for the last bout before the coveted
championship! This time around we have The Untouchables, the reigning champs from
last year, pitted against The Public Enemies, wanting to reclaim the crown from
the 2016 season. Even with the season coming to a close soon, skaters are still
definitely feeling the fire and excitement as we sprint into the last bouts.
Both teams are currently 1-0, making this game a pivotal game for the championship
bout on September 30th!
The Untouchables can play a hard fought game, and are ready
to face the red team. Race’N Voorhees declares, “Yes,
I love this rivalry. I wasn't here when it started; I was tossed into it. I
remember my first time playing for the championship, we fought so hard and
still lost... now I feel like we (l) always have something to make up for. I
think it's that way on both sides. We all like each other, but man, we all turn
it up a notch when we play each other. As for how I feel, I have trust in my
team. Win, lose, or draw, I wouldn't want to take the track with anyone else.
Can't Touch This.” You won’t feel the blues watching this team!
Don’t count
out The Public Enemies, though. Nikki Nikrosis of The Public Enemies says, “I'm so excited about this Saturday's game against The Untouchables!
They are a tough team to beat, and it will be an epic battle, but my team is
ready. I'm confident that we will do what we do best, play as a team and
execute our strategy. Go Pubs!” Don’t worry, Pubs! You’ll get the chance to
take the track and show your tenacity! Paint the track RED!
Playing
directly after the Coed bout, we have the Zombie/Rec League! With many familiar
faces, and some new ones, these ladies are ready to rock out their last bout
for the season. Skating in Black and Green, the Zombie League is an homage to
Fountain City Roller Derby’s roots as Dead Girl Derby. These mash-up style teams
play fun, exciting derby. Featuring ladies from House and Coed, as well as
their own recreational skaters, be sure to check them out this Saturday
directly after the Coed bout!
One of our
newest skaters, Scar-Ya Stark, wants to let us know that “Zombie
league (and derby in general) is made up of the best group of people I have
ever met! Having a group of badass women who are more than happy to teach and
help you learn all about derby is the best. I am so stoked to play with
everyone on Saturday so we can all show off what we've learned.”
Hopefully we’ll see you for the bout this Saturday, August 26th
at 6:00pm at B&D Skate Center for some derby action, or at our championship
bout on September 30th!
