TXRG Takes Houston

The away season for the Texas Rollergirls got off to a stunning start in Houston in Sunday. Austin's own Hell Marys defeated the Psych Ward Sirens 126-83 at the April Annihilation bout at the Verizon Wireless Theater.
That has to be good news for the Honky Tonk Heartbreakers, who will be heading down U.S. 290 on May 18 to face the Bayou City Bosse$. Boss by name, boss by nature: Sunday night, the Houstonians took down the Burlesque Brawlers 75-37, and handed the Machete Betties a 113-76 beating in the March season opener.
Also, expect the Texecutioners to be scouting that bout: they'll be tightening up their road wheels to face HaRD Knocks, the Houston travel team, on July 13.
