On February 20th the Atomic City Rollergirls hosted the Bashin for Boobies Pink and Black Scrimmage to raise money for Breast Cancer research. Skaters from Atomic City faced off against skaters from Walla Walla Sweets Rollergirls and Lilac City Rollergirls. Everyone played a great game of roller derby.
Unfortunately there were two major injuries. Cassanator of the Walla Walla Sweets Rollergirls took a bad fall at the start of the scrimmage and completely broke her leg. THe EMTs took care of her before she was taken to the hospital. She is recovering and plans to skate again soon. She is a real sportswoman and earned the respect and admiration of the Atomic CIty Rollergirls. Atomic City's own Smash-A-Latte broke her arm in almost the exact same place as before. Our hearts go out to both incredible skaters and we can't wait to skate with them again.
Thank you to all the fans, visiting skaters, NSO, Refs and volunteers!
