Update April 4: Local Web designer/photographer ShutterPunk253 once again has a nice collection of shots from the bout.
Oh, and incidentally, the HighRollers won their bout 216 to 98.
- Update by Ken Hawkins.
First reporting: On Saturday, March 26th, come out and watch as the Lowcountry HighRollers take on the hard-hitting ladies of the Rogue Rollergirls at Let Them Eat Skate!
Doors open at 5:30 p.m. at The Citadel's McAlister Fieldhouse (171 Moultrie Street), and the bout starts at 6 p.m.
Besides watching the ladies skate it out on the flat track, you can enjoy beer and entertainment from local DJ duo Cassidy & the Kid. Keep partying with the HighRollers afterward at Red’s Ice House at 98 Church Street in Mount Pleasant.
Bout admission is $10 in advance and $12 at the door. Children ten and younger get in free. A portion of proceeds will benefit the Special Olympics, an international organization that empowers people with intellectual disabilities through sports.
Buy advance tickets from any roller girl; East West Health Arts and Hot Wheels on James Island; Mama Q’s on Johns Island; Red’s Icehouse; City Lights Coffee and the Recovery Room downtown; Tin Roof in West Ashley; and EVO Pizzeria in North Charleston; or online.
