Go Wrecking Belles!
Wooohoooo! Richmond Wrecking Belles smashed the Oakland Outlaws last night at Herbst Pavilion, 96-64. The Outlaws were undefeated going into this bout, so I was a little nervous - but Richmond's defense shut down the mighty Oakland jammers and Oakland couldn't return the favor.
Richmond played a tight team game all night. After the bout, sitting at Rudy's eating Buffalo Tofu and onion rings, Rachel and Darren and Nina and I were trying to pick an MVP and we really couldn't. Everyone on the track played their guts out the whole time. My MVP vote actually went to J. Crush, who wasn't on the track at all but ran around keeping the fans pumped and did some impressive booty-shaking to the halftime show. Rowr.
Oh yeah - the halftime show. The Loyd Family Players rocked the house with their syncopated drum corps awesomeness. They're talented percussionists for sure, but it was the players themselves that took the performance to the next level. Every single player was totally into the performance, smiling and rocking out and clearly in love with the music. People were getting out of their seats and dancing all over the arena. If you ever get a chance to see these folks perform, don't miss it.
The B.A.D. Girls are fundraising right now to pay for their November trip to the Nationals in Portland. They're ranked #6 in the nation (out of 50), so they're bound to kick ass and take names. Help out with a donation if you can.
