25 Random Facts

Some of my more popular posts on The Rebel Yell, are the ones where one of the Rebels is featured and so I thought it would be fun, not only for you, but for me as well, to learn more things about the girls (and boys).

Today I bring to you my newest column, 25 Random Facts. Here you'll learn some interesting info about your favorite roller girls.

To start, I had each person in the league nominate someone they would like to learn more about, with the intention of featuring the person receiving the most votes.

And the winner is..................Captain Morgan! So without further ado, I give you the down and dirty on our one and only Captain.
