Humboldt Roller Derby

The Humboldt Roller Derby is making a name for itself well beyond Humboldt County.

This past weekend, the local club’s charter team, the Redwood Rollers, travelled to Tucson, Arizona, and swept all three matches at the Dust Devil Invitational.

The hard-hitting Humboldt women defeated Colorado’s FoCo Roller Derby by a score of 228-167 in their opener, followed by a 179-130 win over SoCal Roller Derby.

The Rollers capped an impressive weekend with a 190-156 victory over Albuquerque’s Duke City Roller Derby.

The three wins at the sanctioned round robin tournament could give the local club a boost in the national rankings.
