The Appalachian Roller Girls ended their first home bout on May 1, with two smashing wins from both the A-team and B-team.
This was the team’s first home game for the 2016 season. The ARG consists of two teams, similar to a varsity and junior varsity squad. The A-team is the Appalachian Rollergirls All-Stars and the B-team, the Boone Shiners.
Roller girl Jennifer Pillow said the best way to describe ARG is by the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association motto.
“Strong, athletic and revolutionary,” Pillow said.
To begin the bout, the All-Stars lined up at the starting point along with their opponents, Dominion Derby Girls, from the Hampton Roads region in Virginia.
