Pain Austen, you no longer need to hit the refresh button! Before I get into the brutality, I want to say how much fun I had!  RE and I were starting to go crazy without some derby to watch. He had a better seat by the blue team and I was glad to see him coach them to victory.  I thought it was awesome that this bout supported charities like toys for tots and coats for kids. I would also like to thank the marines for coming out and obviously enjoying themselves. At times they were screaming louder than the players.  When I looked at the rosters, I really didn’t know who was going to take the victory. This bout left heads turning, bodies leaning, and mouths screaming!
The bout had a strong start from team black. The way they were skating, I knew right away that team blue had a lot of work to do. At midpoint through the first half, team blue started to make its comeback with Ivanna Destroya and Stroker Ace scoring an insane amount of points. Killustrator did an awesome job playing all kinds of different positions! Team blue scored so many points from passing black players in the penalty box. This killed team black and by half time, team blue was ahead 55 -36.
Half time proved to be entertaining as usual. A round of musical chairs on skates will always leave smiles on faces. Recent friends became enemies and some of those enemies became murderers.  I was very disappointed to see Mad Chatter leave because I had money on her.  Magic Lee and I picked number 12 at that point and she proved to be victorious. The fresh meat this year looked feisty but we shall see how they play with the teams!
The second half was breathtaking indeed. Ida Bitter, CoCo Sparks, Finnish-Her, Punk’d Pixie, Skank Williams are a few to mention. I was very impressed by Skank Williams and Punk’d Pixie on the jam line. They made short work of the wall setup by team blue. I thought both teams did a very good job keeping the blockers in line. Halochic always does a great job in the pack but she must have been extremely angry Saturday night. I’ve never seen her lay out so many skaters. I’m sure Pretty Scarrie feels differently, but it was exciting to see her upside down due to a tremendous hit from Halo. The pivots did a very good job speeding up and slowing down the pack. The teams took full advantage of this strategy which in my opinion, kept the scores close. The tables were turned at the end of the bout with many penalties from team blue, and team black caught up. I’m just glad our poll happened to be right on the money with the final score 89 - 90 BLUE! You sure don’t see that every day!
I would also like to say congratulations to Dita Von B for hitting someone else and to the sign guy for showing up. Sign guy, I can see your leave of absence left your signs in a pitiful state but I can’t wait to see what you bring to the 2010 season!
