BRAD ALLEN: THROWDOWN IN THE SOUND >>>

Steph DeRosa drilled it into your heads that the men were to strap on the skates and do it derby style March 8 at the Tacoma Soccer Center. 

It went down.  And it was dirty.

Photographer extraordinaire Philip Peterson got up close and personal for the Weekly Volcano. 

Enjoy.

Since our Derby Dame Steph DeRosa was down and out with the flu, read up on the Throwdown action on All About Derby.
