This past
Saturday, the Lehigh Valley Rollergirls’ (LVRG) Hissy Fits competed in a fierce
battle against Vermont’s Green Mountain Derby Dames. The game was tightly
played with both teams battling each jam from the first whistle for lead jammer
status. Rookie Betty Switch performed well in her debut Hissy Fit bout, scoring
many points along side of veteran jammers Vanilla CreamHer and Lauranimal. By the end of the first half, the score was
within 10 points as power blockers Loogie Vuitton and Hell Razin Hussy defended
their pack and kept the team advancing into the second half.
In the second half,
LVRG started playing more aggressively which resulted in the team acquiring an
abundant amount of penalties and players in the penalty box. With more than one
LVRG blocker in the penalty box for multiple jams, the Green Mountain Derby
Dames continued to capitalize on this advantage and picked up points along the
way. MVP of the bout Chikki Sixx and
blocker Lin Diesel did their best to keep Green Mountain from scoring, knowing
that at any given time, LVRG was a power jam away from closing the gap in points
between the teams. However, Vermont’s team held their lead and came out with
the victory, winning 122-91.
