So you are stuck with me as I have tried to find folks that have more grammar skills than I but Hey I love you all and welllll you will just have to deal with my sucky English skills.
I can plumb your sink, sew you a new outfit, skate the 101, but give me a pronoun, verb, and spelling lesson, and well I am toast.
Enough said of that.
FOLKS if you did not get to go to LA and watch us at the Toyota Center you missed out. Let me just begin by saying the Rocket Queens are the B team of the Angel City Derby Girls. Why is this significant? Well ACDG came in second in a tournament called the BIG ONE. This tournament had the best of California Derby. San Diego came in first .
So here we are, little ol' Humboldt. We are in our first year of playing other teams. We have won some battles. Lost one to Oakland Outlaws. We thought well we will travel to LA we will learn allot. We probably will not win. But lets play our hearts out, play our best and fight to win.
The whistle blew at half time, and wow! we are only a few points down. WOW we can totally win, WOW they are so not better than us, In fact if we do not win now we are jerks to travel 800 plus miles and loose.
Our coach would never let us get away with it. So we adjusted our strategy. We came in the second half with a point and we made it. We worked together we worked hard and by the end the whistle blew and we won by 10 points...
So surreal...
The score was 98-89
The most amazing part was our fans. I even think we had the LA fans cheering for us. We sold the most merchandise ever at an away game. It was just all fantastic. Very... dare I say a magical moment for our league.
Great Job Humboldt Roller Derby!
