Co-Ed Bout in Ft Smith Arkansas

In an attempt to grow the sport of roller derby and possible jumpstart the growth of a men's team in Ft. Smith, AR, the River Valley Roller Girls hosted a co-ed mash up bout on 1/30/10. Participating leagues were the GateKeepers (10) and the Arch Rival Roller Girls (2) from St. Louis while the remaining skaters were from the Ft. Smith area. The skaters were divided into the Red and Black teams, Black took an early lead and didn't look back. With some big hits and fast action, this bout surprisingly contained many first time men bouters from Ft. Smith as well as from St. Louis. The action was closer than the scoreboard showed. When it was all over the Black team won by a score of 120-49. Magnum, p.i.m.p. and Downtown Dallis were named male and female MVPs for the Black team and Boba and Vanilla Slice were named male and female MVPs for the red team. A great night of derby that will hopefully be the start of several guys derby careers.
