Rocktown Rollers vs. Mason Dixon Roller Vixens Bout Recap

Yes, we realize that this happened a couple months ago, but did we mention that we are busy? So here it is...the recap of the Rocktown Rollers bout with Mason Dixon Roller Vixens on April 11th at Funky's Skating Center here in Harrisonburg. Everyone was ready for this, Rocktown's first bout of the season in front of a home town crowd and the two teams delivered the hard hitting derby action that everyone came to see.

The bout started with Xena Whompher and Bite-Size Bruiser on the jammer line and our esteemed mayor, Kai Degner, blowing the first whistle. Xena came out of the gate ready for action with a 11-2 first jam putting Rocktown in the lead. A lead that Rocktown would not give up for the entire bout. Xena Whompher and KILLnitzki traded off jamming in the first half, with a little help from Betty Crasher and Grim Nemisis. Mason Dixon mixed up their jamming pool a little giving Bite-Size Brusier, Liz Dexic, ThrashQuatch, Fanny Harmher, and Poison Princess all turns on the line. Janna-cide controlled the pack for Rocktown taking the majority of the pivot action, while Liz Dexic and Fanny Harmher wore the stripe the most for Mason Dixon. Afro-Die-T and Vitamin V also rocked the pivot position for Rocktown. While Bite-Size Bruiser and Poison Princess took a break from jamming to lead the pack as pivots. The score going into the half was Rocktown 87 and Mason Dixon 47.

Mason Dixon started strong in the second half with a 4-0 jam by Bite-Size Bruiser. The hard hits continued into the second half, including some jammer on jammer action between KILLnitzki and Bite-Size Bruiser. Both teams had amazing hits from blockers including Snakelegs, Bam Bam Brawler, SuperCharger, Blue Steele, Knasty Knitter, and Anayaphylactic Shock, skating in the first bout of her career, for Rocktown and Pink Medusa, India Tango, and Lezzie Lou for Mason Dixon. The bout ended with a spectacular 15-4 grand slam jam by Betty Crasher. The final score was Rocktown 167 and Mason Dixon 84.

Now for the awesomely geeky statistics. There were a total of 38 jams in the bout (19 in each half). Rocktown had the lead jammer 49% of the time and Mason Dixon had lead 38%. KIILnitzki was lead scorer with 73 points, Xena Whompher was second in points with 50, and Bite-Size Bruiser was third with 41 points.

Both team kept the refs and penalty trackers busy with a total of 85 penalties called during the course of the bout. Rocktown had 49 while Mason Dixon only had 36. Liz Dexic lead the Vixens with a total of 11 penalties (all minors). Xena Whompher and Vitamin V had the most penalties for Rocktown. Xena had 8 minor penalties and 1 major, while V sat in the box for 7 minors and 1 major. A special shout-out to the refs that helped keep the skaters safe and the coaches crazy. Representing Rocktown was Bishop, Gunshow, and Glider and from Mason Dixon was Serial Kilter, Hariball, and Hellvis Presley.

The Rocktown Rollers were happy to be able to donate $310 to the Collins Center, a local sexual assault advocacy group, and $105 to the Gus Bus, a local childhood literacy program, from the sale of tickets to this bout.

A huge thanks goes out to all of the fans, friends, and family that attended, as well as to the Mason Dixon Roller Vixens for a wonderful bout.

Rocktown Rollers Have Been Busy!

It has been a while since I had a chance to post. Me and the team have been busy with Derby! On the 4th of July we marched in the parade and won best marchers (even with a few girls on skates!)

July12th we had a bout with the Mason Dixon Roller Vixens in Hagerstown MD. The Vixens were a great group girls! We unfortunately lost to them 64 to 167. It was a good bout over all and not matter what we all had a great time!

On July 25th we hosted the Punk Rock Prom at the Artful Dodger! We were able to raise $300 for the Valley AIDS network!

And finally, this past Sunday, we traveled again to the north to bout the Harrisburg Area Roller Derby (H.A.R.D) Fallout Femmes. Talk about hard core roller derby action! Every single girl from both teams played as hard as they could! The energy was non-stop! Speed was amazing! Hits were brutal! At the end of the first period the score was neck and neck RTR 60 and FF 68!

During the second half the action got even more intense! Our jammers committed a few major penalties and were sitted in the box, costing chances for points while the Fallout Femmes's jammer snuck by our blockers. But our girls never gave up and kept giving thier all! It was no easy task for the Femmes. But in the end the Femmes won it, 168 to 115. Truly an exciting bout.

Our next bout will be at home! Aug 22nd against the New River Valley Jaded Misfists! This will be round two for the us Rocktown Rollers playing against the Misfits! we last bouted them in March, and the girls are pumped to play them again!

Shake 'n Bake! What a Bout!

Thank you to everyone that came out to see our second home bout. It was an exciting one! We had 311 fans come see us. We were able to raise nearly $250 to donate to the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank as well as several canned items.


We had the wonderful chance to take the RockTown Rollers, and mix them all up with other local teams, the Charlottesville Derby Dames and the Hill City Derby Dollz! We even had two guest bench coaches, Demalisha Durga from the Richmond Derby Demons and Groper Cleavage from the Mason Dixon Roller Vixens.


We mixed everyone up and drew names out of a hat to make, the Beefcake Betties and the Porkchop Patties. Take about two amazing teams!


From the start it was non-stop derby action!! Mr. Kia Degner, the mayor of the city, blew the first whistle blast to start to the bout. Music pumped over the loud speakers, the crowd cheered, the girls flew around the track.


Intense hits, nasty falls, and excitement like no other, the Betties and the Patties were neck and neck through out the whole bout! In the last jam the Patties lost thier jammer, Betty Crasher, due to a major penalty and the Betties's jammer Matilda Moslish ran unopposed bringing the Beefcake Betties to the win with 147 to 128!


MVP went to Betty Crasher on the Porkchop Patties and Scarrs & Bars on the Beefcake Betties.
