Rockford Rage Roller Derby held its first post-pandemic bout on Saturday, taking on the visiting Kentucky Black-n-Bluegrass derby team at the UW Health Sports Factory.

A large crowd cheered on the purple, erupting each time the Rage had lead jammer. In the end, even with great crowd support, the Rage fell to Kentucky. But, derby is back folks!
