For their first bout of the year, Port Scandalous Roller Derby won 179-165 over West Sound Roller Derby on Feb. 28 in the Sequim Boys & Girls Club.

PSRD players said the victory meant more than just points on the board as they skated with a full roster and longtime friends.

The two teams’ history runs deep, players said, as some Scandals skaters, now veterans, first joined derby training alongside West Sound skaters. Their skaters have also stepped in as pickup skaters for PSRD before the team had a full roster, and West Sound hosted PSRD’s newbies for their first bout and have served as coaching staff along the way.

“Their support has been integral to the Scandals’ journey,” said Scandals skater Angelina Morales.

Players said the energy in the Sequim club on Saturday was “uplifting, exciting, and downright exhilarating from the first whistle.”

PSRD skater “Strange #86” said before the bout that, “It feels like when you’re a kid and friends are coming over for a sleepover. It’s just gonna be so fun.”

PSRD hosts five more bouts at the Sequim club, 400 W. Fir St., this season on March 28, May 30, July 11, Sept. 19, and Oct. 17. Find ticket links at portscandalousrollerderby.com.
