OUR STATE.. OUR DERBY!!

This past Saturday was a night with overlapping bouts in Phoenix and Tucson. In Phoenix, the Arizona Derby Dames were skating at the Veteran’s Memorial Coliseum. Honestly, this was my first AZDD bout in over a year and I will say that league has been able to make the most out of the Vet and put on one impressive presentation. The 0-2 (AZ Power Rankings #11) Bombshells would take on the 1-0 (#5) Runaway Brides. In addition, the 1-0 (#8) School Yard Scrappers would take on the 1-1 (#7) Coffin Draggers. Meanwhile down in Tucson, the 4-1 (#1) VICE Squad would take on the 2-3 (#9) Iron Curtain.

Derby fans, welcome to May.  We’re at a point where two league’s seasons are starting to come to an end and one is very much in full swing.   This is definitely a month where most of Arizona’s leagues have something going on  I know it’s going to keep this Michi-chan very very very busy.

This month, there’s something for everyone, including those who are more artsy than sportsy and for those who want to strap on the quads and have a chance to bump hips with other dedicated women, you will have a chance.

If you can make it to one or more of these events, including the Tucson ones if you are so adventuresome, please do so and again, thank you for supporting your local roller derby and community sports in Arizona.

Well, it’s that time of the month again.  Every Sunday after the last Saturday in the month, I complile and release the Arizona Power Rankings, the only measurements of the 13 roller derby home teams from three different leagues in the state.

This has been a crazy month that included an indoor rainout and two huge upsets.  This definitely made some twist and turns in this month’s Power Rankings!
