Eyes On Carson City: Junior Roller Derby
Although Sunday's scrimmage fundraiser for Carson Tahoe Health Foundation's Mission Heartbeat program was organized by the Carson Victory Roller adults, the kids played an equally important role in entertaining spectators who came to watch and donate to the cause.
As children often do, they probably had even more fun, too.
The Carson Junior Victory Roller squad took on the Sierra Regional Roller Derby Juniors Sunday at the Carson City Community Center gymnasium in a prelude to the adult contest later in the evening.
But don't tell these youth that their game was somehow less intense than the adults.
Full of blocks and jam-ups, the juniors played a fierce contest to win the hearts of fans at the My Bloody Valentine's roller derby scrimmage, an event that has kicked off the 2017 season for the Carson Victory Rollers and the Junior Victory Rollers, too.
