Sporting a slim roster of ten skaters, the Classic City Rollergirls started their home season off right this June with a decisive win over the rollergirls from Charleston, SC (125-53). "Lowcountry Brawl" pitted the High Rollers from the Lowcountry against the Athens rollergirls for the first time. Game MVPs were Psycho Deluxe (CCRG) and Tranquiliza (LCHR).

A portion of the proceeds from "Lowcountry Brawl" will help support HandsOn NE Georgia, the CCRG sponsored charity for the 2009 season. HandsOn NE Georgia helps individuals, families and corporate and community groups find flexible volunteer opportunities at various organizations in Athens-Clarke and Oconee Counties. Hands On Northeast Georgia volunteers are at work every day of the year building the community and meeting critical needs in schools, parks, senior homes, food banks, pet shelters, low-income neighborhoods and more. CCRG is proud to sponsor this incredible organization for the entire season.
