Derby virgins no more!

Well Stacie's first bout is under her belt. They got their butts handed to them, but it was a very good experience for the whole team. I don't really have all the details, but Stacie said that they were on their butts quite a bit but they did score some points so it wasn't a total blow out. Jared and two of his friends got to go and see the bout and they had a great time. A big thank you to James and Nance who graciously opened their home to both Stacie and Jon and also Jared and his buddies. I understand they had a BBQ for all of them and that the boys enjoyed playing with both of Stacie's younger siblings. The next bout is in August, not sure of the date but I will have to go to that one. I feel ripped off that I didn't get to see her "debut" as Whomping Willow, but I am in total support of what she is doing because she loves it, and because I am the Mom;-) The derby association is supposed to have the bout on video and when they put that out I will send a link to anybody that is interested in seeing the Atomic City Roller Girls in action. Not the same as being there, but it will still be fun to see them in action. The girls have been sent quite alot of different messages to their myspace congratulating them on their first appearance, that is where I got the derby virgins saying from. I guess you could say they "popped their cherry", wow I can't believe I just put that in here. Some things never change I guess.
