Panhandle United Roller Derby

By Monica A. Heimes, League President/Safety Director

Panhandle United Roller Derby is currently undefeated during the 2017 Season with a 3-0 bout record.

On April 1st the PanU All-Stars and Beah Brawl Sk8r Dolls (BBSD) traveled to Nashville, Tennessee for a bout against the Nashville Brawlstars. Together, Pan U’s All-Stars and BBSD controlled the track with solid walls, effective hits, and unfathomable endurance to secure their second win of the season with a score of 229 to 192.

Then on April 22nd, the PanU All-Stars packed their bags and headed out west to Houma, Louisiana for the season’s first Women’s Flat Track Derby Association sanctioned bout against the Cajun Rollergirls. After a close first half, PanU’s effective strategy widened the score and took the lead to bring home a win with a score of 154 to 94.

This is just placeholder text. Don’t be alarmed, this is just here to fill up space since your finalized copy isn’t ready yet. Once we have your content finalized, we’ll replace this placeholder text with your real content.

Sometimes it’s nice to put in text just to get an idea of how text will fill in a space on your website.

Traditionally our industry has used Lorem Ipsum, which is placeholder text written in Latin. Unfortunately, not everyone is familiar with Lorem Ipsum and that can lead to confusion. I can’t tell you how many times clients have asked me why their website is in another language!

There are other placeholder text alternatives like Hipster Ipsum, Zombie Ipsum, Bacon Ipsum, and many more. While often hilarious, these placeholder passages can also lead to much of the same confusion.

If you’re curious, this is Website Ipsum. It was specifically developed for the use on development websites. Other than being less confusing than other Ipsum’s, Website Ipsum is also formatted in patterns more similar to how real copy is formatted on the web today.
