September 28, 2009-Austin, TX   The Hellcats will battle against the undefeated Cherry Bombs for the 2009 Calvello Cup Championship, but the real fight of the evening will be on behalf of boobies! The TXRD—Lonestar Rollergirls will hold a silent auction in support of the Keep-a-Breast Foundation during their final bout of the season on Saturday, October 10 at the Austin Convention Center.
 
On the auction block will be several plaster casts of skaters’ breasts that have been painted by local artists including Rodger Roundy, Michael Sieben, Cindy ‘Crash’ Raschke, Tim Sorensen, Stacey Martin,  Kate ‘Kate or Dye’ Wissman, Heather ‘Daisy Mae Damage’ Roach, and Aubrey ‘Lacy Bones’ Hooser, amongst many others. We would like to extend our thanks to Jerry’s Artarama for their gracious plaster donation and to Michelle ‘Miss Hell’ Durbin for coordinating the breast casting parties.
 
The Keep-A-Breast Foundation is a non-profit organization seeking to increase breast cancer awareness among young people. Breast cast auctions are their primary fundraisers and use artistic expression to keep youth educated.
 
Well-timed with the premiere of Drew Barrymore’s upcoming new movie, Whip It, which was inspired by TXRD, the Lonestar Rollergirls will be hitting up the town for various promotional opportunities.

Hellcats vs Rhinestone Cowgirls— Sept. 12, Playoff bout
 
The Hellcats and the Rhinestone Cowgirls met on Saturday, September 12th to decide who would face off against the Cherry Bombs in the Calvello Cup championship.  Both teams came pumped up with energy and ready to skate.
Miso Vicious started the Hellcats off with a bang by scoring a grand slam five point jam.  The next two jams were much tighter, with Curly Suicide scoring three points to Kategory 5’s one point.  Dixie Sanchez and Miss Canada stayed hot on each other’s heels to score four and three points, respectively.  The Rhinestones showed their fighting spirit by picking up two major penalties (one on Natorious and one on Mummy Dearest) before the first minor penalty was called for the bout.  Kinky Kowalsky won an arm wrestle in the first of what would be a dominant penalty night for her.  Rollergazm picked up three points to even things out a bit for the Cowgirls.  The next jams would continue to be very close, with both jammers fighting their way through tough packs and staying on stride with each other.  Catalac scored one point to Evilynn Carnit’s zero; Kategory 5 scored four over Dixie Sanchez’s three; and Curly Suicide and Miss Canada skated a two point draw.  The Rhinestones were victorious in both a relay race penalty and a long jump (performed gracefully by Kategory 5).  Miso Vicious added one more point for the Hellcats in the last jam of the quarter, bringing the score to: Hellcats 17, Rhinestone Cowgirls 12.
Miso Vicious again started the second quarter for the Hellcats, scoring two points and shutting out Miss Canada.  Kategory 5 answered back with a four point jam.  Miso Vicious stepped to the jam line again and scored an unprecedented 9 POINT JAM!!!!!  This surpassed Chola’s old record of eight points in a single jam.  Clearly this was a career night for Miso Vicious.  On the next jam, Curly Suicide made a sweet move through the pack to pick up three points over Miss Canada’s two.  Kinky Kowalsky won a pillow fight for the Hellcats.  Dixie Sanchez added her own five point grand slam jam.  Miso Vicious then scored another six points for her team.  This lady was on fire!  Kinky Kowalsky won a tug of war minor penalty.  Catalac scored three points to Miss Canada’s one.  A scoreless jam between Dirty Blonde and Rollergazm ended a dominant second quarter by the Hellcats.  Score at the half:  Hellcats 45, Rhinestone Cowgirls 17.
The third quarter began with one point scored by Curly Suicide.  Miso Vicious and Kategory 5 then skated to a very tough four/four draw.  Kinky Kowalsky won yet another tug of war for her team.  Kategory 5 scored another four points for the Rhinestone Cowgirls, while Dixie Sanchez scored just one point.  Mummy Dearest picked up her second major penalty, and Catalac won an arm wrestling penalty.  Purr Anna, a strong defensive force for the Hellcats, went down with a mild ankle sprain that would keep her out of the rest of the bout.  On the next jam, Miso Vicious was on her way to a big score when she was tackled by Miss Canada.  Miss Canada, not surprisingly, picked up a major penalty.  On the reskate, Miso scored six points.  On that jam, Diablo picked up a minor penalty.  This led to the most epic two lap duel ever, skated between Diablo and Curly Suicide.  The lead on this duel changed at least four times; Diablo was ahead just before the finish line when she lost her footing and fell.  Curly Suicide got past her for the win.  Amazing duel!!!!  Two more close jams followed: Kategory 5 scored two points over Catalac’s one; Dirty Blonde scored three points over Miss Canada’s one.  Score at the end of the third quarter:  Hellcats 62, Rhinestone Cowgirls 27.
Knottie Knoxville and Rollergazm started the fourth quarter at the jam line.  Curly Suicide and Skate Wolf went down for a prolonged fight.  Knox and Rollergazm passed by them several times, with Knox scoring nine points in the jam and Rollergazm scoring four.  The Hellcats were clearly calling off the big guns somewhat and giving some other skaters their chance at jamming.  Moxie Rotten and Kategory 5 faced off, with Kategory 5 picked up a five point grand slam.  A major penalty on Dixie Sanchez (her third minor) led to a reskate, where Kat 5 picked up four more points for her team.  Miss Canada was hurt on the next jam; a major penalty was called on Knottie Knoxville.  On the reskate, Miso Vicious scored two points for the Hellcats.  Kategory 5 won a pillow fight with Mona Littlemore.  Miss Amerikill and Kategory 5 faced off, with Kat 5 scoring another four points, and Miss Amerikill scoring one.  Kinky Kowalsky won another arm wrestle penalty.  Catalac scored two points jamming against Mummy Dearest, and Kategory 5 scored four points against Mona Littlemore.  On the final jam, Miss Canada scored a big nine points for her team.  But these points would not be enough.  The final score:  Hellcats 86, Rhinestone Cowgirls 47.
This sets up a thrilling Calvello Cup: the Cherry Bombs vs the Hellcats.  Both of these teams want it bad!  When they met during the regular season, the bout was decided by one point on the last jam.  Break out your pink or your green, and join us on October 10.  See you at the Thunderdome!
