HRD Is Going to Regionals!!

Regionals will be held September 25-27th in Atlanta, Georgia. The Southern Fried Smackdown will feature the top ten teams in the South Central Conference battling it out for a spot to Nationals. Houston's own HaRD Knocks has been working hard all season and won't settle for less than one of the three coveted spots. Our league is run for the skaters by the skaters, which means that all expenses for travel come from donations and money we make at our bouts. If you'd like to donate to help send HaRD Knocks to Atlanta (and hopefully onto Philly for Nationals), please visit our site and click on the button the main page that says Donate. We appreciate all your support!

Come Bowl with Us!

Saturday, July 25 Houston Roller Derby will be having a fundraiser at Palace Bowling Lanes at 2pm. At our website, you can find out how to donate by sponsoring HRD in general, or picking a participating derby girl and making a per-pin pledge. At the very least, come out and see your favorite derby girls off their skates and in some bowling shoes!!

Congrats!

Congratulations to Houston's HaRD Knocks Travel Team who beat out Austin's Honky Tonk Heartbreakers, 108-105. It was a hard-fought derby battle that came down to the last, nail-biting jam, when HRD came back from a 12-point deficit to win.

In case you missed it, come out next month for the championship on August 15. The Bayou City Bosse$ will be defending their title against the Psych Warn Sirens, and the Burlesque Brawlers will take on Beaumont's Spindletop Rollergirls.
