If
you missed the Lehigh Valley Rollergirls’ (LVRG) Hissy Fits bout this
weekend against Garden State’s Iron Bound Maidens, then you missed a
real battle that was undecided until the very last seconds of the game.
LVRG was prepared for a physical game and Garden State brought just
that. From the very beginning, the Iron Bound Maidens initiated their
signature knee down jam starts to try to throw off Lehigh Valley.
However, LVRG strategically countered their tactics by positioning
themselves to secure lead jammer status on numerous occasions. LVRG
jammers Happy Feet and Vanilla CreamHer took advantage of this and
absorbed some early points in the first half while they had the
opportunity.
The Lehigh Valley Hissy Fits’ next WFTDA sanctioned game will be held on May 19th when they travel to Columbus, SC to play the Columbia Quad Squad. Although Columbia’s team is ranked much higher than LVRG in most reported standings; Columbia is an unknown wildcard. There is little information about Columbia available and no record of their style of play or their longer term history. LVRG is going to have to pack every little trick up their sleeve for this long distance trip over 650 miles away.
In the upcoming weeks, LVRG will also be shifting gears and focusing on their second team, the Special Vixens Unit (SVU). SVU will be opening their season by traveling to Williamsport, PA on May 5th to play the Susquehanna Valley Derby Vixens. Both teams should be equally matched, however, expect some surprises coming from LVRG’s up and coming skaters. Following this bout, the SVU team, led by Captain Tortelina Temptress, will play back to back games as they head to Philadelphia, PA the next week to bout against the Philly Cheeseskates on May 12th.
