A Different Kind of Derby Girl: Midterm Project

Katie Hoff, or Hoff the Chain as she is called in the derby world, is team captain of the South Central Derby Girls of Davis and Ada, Oklahoma and the mother goose of her team. Organizing bouts, looking out for teammates and making it all flow are second-hand to her. However, she is not your typical mom. Bruises are her trophies, and she practices giving and taking hits. Teammate and close friend Pamela Chapman whose derby alias is Lolo Beach can testify to this. Every Sunday, the team practices at the Arbuckle Ballroom in Davis, Oklahoma. They graciously allowed me to watch them at work.
