Rat City Rollergirls All Star Team scored a decisive victory over Houston last Saturday night at Key Arena 260 to 77. What the score alone doesn't indicate is the physical nature of the battle and the gymnastics of the skaters who made that happen. Houston had some powerful members on offense and defense, but Rat City out-skated Houston on both accounts.

On a warm and sunny evening the attendance was moderate, but the enjoyment was the same.   Dancing in the isles during half time and loud cheering for favorite skaters was the theme of the night. There were many families in attendance and even the youngest seemed to get a thrill out of the non-stop action. If you have not attended an event, you should .... at least once, if only to say that you supported our Shoreline home town team!
