Big Easy vs Memphis!
May 11, 2012Did you know we have a WFTDA sanctioned home bout tomorrow? Your Big Easy AllStars take on Memphis Roller Derby’s Hustlin’ Rollers – a rematch in the making since 2009!
Big Easy lost by more than 50 way back when, but we have a good feeling about 2012. Make sure to buy your ticket online for $12 today or get one at the door tomorrow for $15.
Either way, see you there!
Bout & Fundraiser Recaps
April 24, 2012Your Big Easy website moderators were busy the past couple weeks getting ready for All That Glitters is Gold, our fundraiser on April 20. We owe you bout recaps and a fundraiser report!
On Saturday, April 14, the Crescent Wenches put up an amazing fight against the Southern Misfits of Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Misfits held the lead for half of the first period until a power jam put the Wenches within reach. The Wenches never held onto the top, though, and lost 122-91.
The Big Easy AllStars traveled to Florida on April 14 to take on Tallahassee RollerGirls’ Capital Punishment. Tallahassee lived up to their team’s name, however, and handed your AllStars a big loss: 270-28. BERG is using the experience as motivation to keep improving the remainder of the season, which continues at home May 12 against Memphis.
Everyone had a winning night this past Friday, April 20, at All That Glitters is Gold! Every silent auction item found a home, smaller gifts were raffled off and skaters dazzled the crowd with the talent show. Big thanks to everyone who came out to make the night a success!
