It was really happening! I had found enough girls that wanted to do this "roller derby thing" and make it a reality with me. Along the way we caught wind of the league down in Myrtle Beach, SC - The Palmetto State Rollergirls. They had enough girls and we had enough girls and it was high time that the state of South Carolina saw some flat-track roller derby action!
As we prepared for our very first bout, the two teams that we split off into The Renegades of Funk & Project Mayhem were falling apart. We made the decision to hold seperate team practices, seperate team meetings, everything and that in turn drove a lot of girls away. As the date for the bout approached, we scrapped the two would be home teams to for our league's travel team: The Reedy River Rollergirl Outlaws.
We came together, worked our bootys off, on and off the track. And even with our league's issues we came together and managed to pull out a squaker of a win, thanks to Torch who got us the game winning 2 points that we needed.
Although it was a small victory for us, it was huge for the sport in the state of South Carolina, because at that game were some very curious girls from Columbia....
