GRRG compete in derby doubleheader Saturday

By: Brittney Schering

Grand Raggidy Roller Girls are ready to host The Chicago Outfit while competing in another derby doubleheader on Saturday, Nov. 20.

GRRG is flying high after two exhilarating wins last month. It is carrying the momentum into this next challenge, fully prepared to dominate yet again. G-Rap Attack’s superhero powers will be on display for all to witness when it goes head-to-head against The Chicago Outfit Shade Brigade.

The second bout of the night will pair the Grand Raggidy All-Stars with The Chicago Outfit Syndicate. This will be the first competition between these two teams; they have never skated against each other until now.

The Outfit recently graduated to full membership status with the WFTDA. It is now ranked 10th in the North Central Region, and GRRG is 12th. The competition is a must-win for GRRG if it wants a chance at Regionals next year. That being said, Grand Raggidy is eager to get out on the track and log yet another win.

The competition will take place at Rivertown Sports, located at 2605 Sanford Ave in Grandville from 5 to 10 p.m. For more information, please head over to www.grandraggidyrollergirls.com.

Grand Raggidy Roller Girls (GRRG) invite everyone to join in as they greet the fall season with a long-awaited double-header on Saturday, Oct. 23.
