On Saturday, June 11th, skaters from Demolition City Roller Derby in Evansville, IN rolled north to tangle with the Bleeding Heartland Roller Girls in the league’s final WFTDA-sanctioned home bout of the season. The night began with the DCRD Destruction Dames effort to destroy the BHRG Code Blue Assassins. Then, in the Main Event, the DCRD Dynamite Dolls looked to bulldoze the BHRG Flatliners.
CODE BLUE ASSASSINS vs. DESTRUCTION DAMES
The Code Blue Assassins burst out of the gate, scoring 78 points in the first 9 jams of the first half before the Dames could even score a point. This was due, in large part, to the Code Blue Assassins pack defense. In almost every jam, the CBA jammer had made it through the pack and was already working on scoring passes before the Demo City jammer had even made an initial pass. In fact, the entire first half boasted four jams wherein the Demo City jammer never actually made it through the CBA pack on her initial pass. One of these was even a power jam in favor of the Dames. The CBA defense didn’t stop there. CBA blockers were hitting hard and targeting Demo City’s jammers. Several hard hits were doled out by CBA blockers Thigh Candy, Jalapeno Grill, Tijuana Momma and Uh Huh Hurricane. BHRG’s jammers took advantage of this hardcore defense by throwing down some equally hardcore jamming. Felanie Charges skated a 25-point jam and Bobbi McGuillotine had a 20-point jam in the first half of the game. HALF-TIME SCORE: 133-12 BHRG
In the second half, the Dames didn’t allow the CBAs to run up the score the way they had in the first half. In the 6th jam, Dames jammer Abbs of Steel scored 7 points. Over the next few jams, the Dames began to steadily add some points to the board. This small rally on the Dames part wasn’t enough to balance the score, though. In the 18th jam, CBA jammer Kung Furious skated an 18-point jam when Dames jammer Full Throttle was sent to the penalty box for a major track cut. The home crowd was treated to a special final jam with jammer Tijuana Momma. The place was going nuts as TJ closed out the game by scoring 7 more points for the Code Blue Assassins, resulting in an explosive Code Blue Assassins win. FINAL SCORE: 216-48 FWDG
High scoring jammer for Code Blue Assassins was Felanie Charges with 95 total points scored.
Congratulations Code Blue Assassins on an incredible season! You beat all the odds by coming off a rough, zero win 2010 season. You worked hard and showed Bloomington what you’re made of in a winning 2011 season with only two losses! INCREDIBLE!
FLATLINERS vs. DYNAMITE DOLLS
The Flatliners kicked things off with three spectacular jams totaling 11 points. The Dolls jammers learned right away that the Bleeding Heartland Wall of Defense (Shock ‘n Roll, Zero Dark, Bobbi McGuillotine, Assassinatrix) was a force to be reckoned with. The Dolls were able to re-group and take advantage of the BHRG jammers’ major penalties, bringing the score to 34-30 BHRG, the closest it would be for the entire game. And, while the Dolls blockers were able to lay some pretty hard hits on the Flatliners jammers and they were able to steadily gather points, there was no chance that the Flatliners defense was going to allow the Dolls to run up the score. HALF-TIME SCORE: 64-36 BHRG
The second half began with penalty box trips for all. Blockers from each team seemed to fill the box in the beginning of the half, with each team welcoming their jammer to the party for a minute as well. This resulted in very little scoring in the early part of the half. In the 11th jam, Kaka Caliente capitalized on a major penalty called on Dolls jammer B. Dawn Kadonk and scored 15 points. This was followed by an 8-point power jam from Flatliners jammer Nuck L. Sammie. Kaka Caliente took a hard hit in the 14th jam, which almost required medic attention, but she was able to skate off the track and, a tried and true athlete through and through, she was jamming again two jams later and scored 9 points for the Flatliners. This was followed by a 14-point jam from Nuck L. Sammie, a 7-point jam from Terror D’Bits and one last 5-point jam by Kaka Caliente. FINAL SCORE: 141-75 BHRG
High scoring jammer for the Flatliners was Kaka Caliente with 52 total points. But Nuck L. Sammie was hot on her tail with a total of 49 points.
Like the Code Blue Assassins, the Flatliners also saw a major turn-around this season. Last year, they had a 2-6 record in WFTDA-sanctioned game play, but this year they boast a 9-2 record. Congratulations on a season well played, Flatliners! AMAZING! ~Broken HypeWriter
