Roller Derby: Junction City Plows O-Town 285-43
Posted By Bill Frost on May 2, 2011, 11:19 AM
While much-improved over previous seasons, the O-Town Derby Dames are still no match for the continually-impressive Junction City Roller Dolls, who dominated the bout from the first whistle—within 10 minutes, JCRD’s all-star Trainwrecks were already up 40 points on OTDD’s 25th Street Brawlers. Most of those were scored by Trainwrecks jammers Wee Smasha, Killa Patra and Zelda Cruz (who’s never above a little showboating when she’s in the zone), while Brawlers jammers No Name Dame and Josie Cansockahoe scrapped hard for every point they could get.
Score at halftime: Junction City Roller Dolls 134, O-Town Derby Dames 36.
Things didn’t go any better for O-Town in the second half, as Junction City piled on more points and the game-stopping injuries escalated: JCRD’s Hanna Bull had already gone down hard in the first half; OTDD’s Pepper Diamond and JCRD’s Demon Darlin’ in the second. Beyond that, the bout wasn’t exactly heading toward a nail-biting conclusion.
Final score: Junction City Roller Dolls 285, O-Town Derby Dames 43.
