Roller Derby

It has been a few weeks since Bruce and I have gone out in KC to try something new. We got a call from some good friends, inviting us to go to the KC Roller Warriors roller derby league! I had heard a little bit about roller derby here in KC, but I had never been to a Bout (its a game...but called a Bout in the roller derby world). Bruce and I both realized we knew at least one person participating on different teams of this roller derby league so we were excited to see these ladies in action. The first Bout started at 7p so we met our friends there around 6:45p to ensure we got a good seat. There were quite a few more fans there than we anticipated! It was an evening of high energy and lots of excitement. Id highly recommend anyone check it out at least once in their lives. Bruce and I noticed ourselves cheering for different teams and really getting into it.

There are a total of 4 teams in the KC Roller Warriors league so we saw all 4 compete. These first two teams are the Knockouts (blue) and the Black Eyed Susans (yellow). It was a VERY close Bout and went down to the last second but the BES pulled out the victory 76-74.

The last two teams to compete were the Victory Vixens (dark blue) and the Dorothys (red and black). The Dorothys have only lost one Bout over the last season so they were the team to beat. We left at halftime and the Vixens were winning by 5.

All in all, this was a great experience! Definitely something completely different from our "norm" but it is great to be able to say we have been to a roller derby!

Have a great week!
