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!

Bout Recap May 3rd: Rhinestones vs. Holy Rollers

Saturday, May 9th, 2009

On Sunday night, the TXRD Rhinestone Cowgirls skated against the Holy Rollers.  Would last year’s victory by the Rhinestone Cowgirls that marred the otherwise perfect season for the Holy Rollers prove to be a fluke?  Or would the Holy Rollers revenge themselves?

The bout began slowly.  Kategory 5 scored one point for the Rhinestone in the first jam.  A scorelss jam followed, and then Truckstop Trixie added another point for the Rhinestones. Smarty Pants took away a Rhinestone point by standing her ground during a tug of war penalty.  Several times in this quarter, the Holy Rollers used the strategy of gaining lead jammer status and then calling off the jam before either team could score points.  Kategory 5, showing why she was last season’s rookie of the year, finally shot through the pack to give three more points to her team.  A penalty on Ms. Behavin’ drew a Two Lap Duel on the penalty wheel; she tagged out and Sacralicious took her place against Truckstop Trixie.  Trixie won, taking two points away from the Holy Rollers, which put them into negative point totals.  Smarty Pants got one point back for the Holy Rollers, but it was just as quickly taken away by a pillow fight victory for Kategory 5.  On the next jam, Smarty Pants snuck through the pack and scored three points, finally putting the Rollers into the positive score totals.  (She was helped through the pack with nice blocks by Anita Confess and Sacralicious)  Kategory 5 scored a full jam for the Rhinestones, and then Sacralicious did the same for the Rollers, bringing the score at the end of the first quarter to Rhinestone Cowgirls 8, Holy Rollers 5.
The second quarter began with Miss Canada scoring two points for the Rhinestones while several hard blocks from Ali Mony held back HR jammer Damsel Distresser.  A duo of close jams followed: Smarty Pants and Kategory 5 sped through their pack to score two and four points; Truckstop Trixie and Horrorshow each picked up a single point on the next jam.  The Holy Rollers then began to cut away at the Rhinestone Cowgirl lead: Sacralicious scored 3 points after winning an arm wrestling penalty, Hispanic Panic added one point, and Smarty Pants jammed for two more.  This tied the score at 14.  A tight jam between Damsel Disresser (two points) and Rollergasm (three points) was followed by a jam where a major penalty was called on Smarty Pants.  On the reskate, Truckstop Trixie subbed in for an injured Rollergasm, got into a fight with Sacralicious, and ended the half without either team scoring in the jam.  The score at the half was Rhinestone Cowgirls 17, Holy Rollers 15.

The top point scorers for the first half were Kategory 5 for the Rhinestones and Smarty Pants and Sacralicious for the Holy Rollers. The top blocker for the Rhinestones was Mummy Dearest and Anita Confess for the Holy Rollers.

After half time, it seemed like the Rhinestone Cowgirls adjusted their strategy.  They began to control the pack speed and better use that speed to their advantage.  Sacralicious and Kategory 5 opened the second half with a very fast jam where they each picked up two points.  Both jammers in the next jam set were thwarted by big blocks: Damsel Distresser was hit by Miss Canada, and Rollergasm was railed by Mz. Behavin’.  Miss Canada was called for a major and Damsel Distresser scored a full jam on the reskate.  In addition to adjusting their pack speed, the Rhinestones really began to give some hard hits.  After a scoreless jam where Smarty Pants was held back by Mummy Dearest, Truckstop Trixie won a pillow fight penalty against Smarty Pants.  The next jam was huge for the Rhinestones: Kategory 5 scored SIX POINTS in a “grand slam plus one” jam.  This charged up the momentum towards the Rhinestones.  Rollergasm added another point for the Rhinestones; Smarty scored one for the Rollers.  The Rhinestones were doing a great job of getting to the front of the pack so they could control the speed and hold back the Holy Roller jammers.  The score at the end of the third quarter was Rhinestone Cowgirls 26, Holy Rollers 22.

Sacralicious broke out of the first jam set and got way out in front, but then tripped over her own team member and injured her shoulder.  Rollergasm scored another Rhinestone point, but Motley Sue picked up a minor.  Sacralicious, using her good arm, defeated her in an arm wrestling penalty.  Smarty Pants scored a point to continue to chip away at the Rhinestone lead.  A major penalty on Mummy Dearest resulted in a reskate, but both jammers were held scoreless. The Rhinestone Cowgirl skaters were simply speeding away, making it very difficult for the Holy Rollers to catch them and score.  Sacralicious, as lead jammer over Kategory 5, called off her jam in a defensive maneuver.  Damsel Distresser made use of a good whip by Sacralicious to score two points for the Rollers.  A penalty called on Cathy Lix spun a two-lap duel on the penalty wheel.  With the score so close, this penalty really mattered.  Truckstop Trixie eked out a victory over Cathy Lix, who fought her every step of the way, to take away a crucial Holy Roller point.  In the next jam, neither jammer (Sacralicious and Rollergasm) could make it into scoring position due to the speed of the pack.  Sacralicious attempted to whip herself past Rollergasm to score a last second point.  Rollergasm went down with an injury.  For the final jam, the Rhinestone Cowgirls were ahead by two points.  Each team sent their most reliable jammer to the line: Smarty Pants and Kategory 5.  The pack speed kept either jammer from scoring and gave the Rhinestones the victory.  Final score: Rhinestone Cowgirls 26, Holy Rollers 24.  This bout was very close and intense.  There was a lot of exciting skating, with some of the fastest jammers and hardest hitting blockers in the league squaring off against each other.

See you all at the next bout–the undefeated Hellcats skate against the undefeated Cherry Bombs to determine who will have the advantage going into the playoffs.  See you at the Thunderdome!

March 8th Bout Recap – Cowgirls vs. Hellcats

Tuesday, March 10th, 2009

On Sunday, March 8th, the Hellcats skated against the Rhinestone Cowgirls in the second bout of the TXRD season.  Both teams came to this bout with desire, drive,and determination.  If this bout is any indication, the 2009 season is going to be a nail biter up until the end.
Kategory 5 started the bout off with a bang for the Rhinestone Cowgirls, scoring a five point grand slam jam.  Dixie Sanchez answered right back with four points of her own.  This pattern would continue all night long.  Both teams played very physical games:  there were a lot of falling skaters, hard hits, and called penalties.  The Hellcats made excellent use of their extremely deep jamming rotation; the Rhinestone Cowgirls focused on defending the pack and opening up a path for their power jammer, Kategory 5.  The Rhinestones also used their penalties to advantage:  Truckstop Trixie scrapped her way to a pillow fight victory, and Miss Canada won a two lap duel on a last moment belly flop over the line.  In the last jam of the quarter, Purr Anna added three points to put the Hellcats ahead 11 to 9.
The second quarter began with some penalty business from the previous jam.  Both Mummy Dearest and Truckstop Trixie had to sit out during a reskate of the jam due to major penalties.  Although Ali Mony and Natorious valiantly tried to block in the pack, Purr Anna scored a five point Grand Slam in a jam that hugely turned the momentum in favor of the Hellcats.  The back and forth scoring continued–Kategory 5 would add one, Dixie Sanchez would score two.  Rollergazm would score one, Kategory 5 would score three, then Dixie Sanchez scored four.  The Rhinestones did an excellent job shutting down Curly Suicide, usually a big scoring threat for the Hellcats.  Dixie Sanchez and Purr Anna really stepped up and took leadership as scorers in her place.  At the end of the first half, the score was Hellcats 22, Rhinestone Cowgirls 16.

1st half–Hellcat Scorers:
Dixie Sanchez-14 points
Purr Anna–8 points
Dirty Blonde–2 points
Miso Vicious–1
Catalac–0 points
Curly Suicide– 0 points

Rhinestone Cowgirls Scorers:
Kategory 5–14 points
Rollergazm–3 points
Miss Canada–0 points
Truckstop Trixie–0 points
Skate Wolf–0 points

The second half began much like the first half:  Kategory 5 scored two points to Curly Suicide’s zero to start the action rolling.  After a scoreless jam, Kategory 5 and Dirty Blonde both incurred minor penalties.  They spun a two lap duel on the penalty wheel.  Each skater tried to pants the other as she made her way around the track.  Kategory 5 at the last moment whipped herself off of Dirty Blonde’s spankies and won the duel.  A particularly nasty tripping call on Rhinestone rookie Al B. Nasty resulted in a major penalty and a reskate.  Purr Anna was once again able to capitalize on a penalty and scored 3 unanswered points for the Hellcats.  A minor penalty on Mummy Dearest spun an arm wrestle penalty.  Rookie Kinky Kowalsky destroyed Mummy Dearest for the Hellcats.  (She was also impressive in an earlier tug of war penalty–this girl is a beast!) For the next jam, Glitterotica refocused all of her blocking efforts on Kategory 5.  She drew a major penalty, and Dixie Sanchez was able to further extend the Hellcat scoring run with two points.  Miss Canada answered back with four points, while Catalac was being blocked out hard by Mummy Dearest.  Mummy Dearest picked up another major penalty, but Miss Canada called off the reskate before any points were scored.  At the end of the third quarter, the score was Hellcats 26, Rhinestone Cowgirls 21.
By the start of the fourth quarter, the Convention Center was humming with the intensity of the crowd.  Neither team showed any signs of quitting or giving up the fight.  Penalties were even more frequent, and the pack action was more intense.  A major on Kategory 5 from the last jam led to yet another reskate.  Moko Loco was able to score four very important points for the Hellcats.  She picked up a major for pushing, but no points were scored in the reskate.  Kategory 5 then had a big jam where she scored four points.  A minor penalty on Mummy Dearest led to an exciting relay race penalty, that the Hellcats won after both teams dropped the baton.  Purr Anna scored a point for the HC, Dixie Sanchez scored three more, then Kategory 5 scored four for the RC.  Dixie Sanchez faced off against Kategory 5 again–Dixie scored one and Kategory scored two.  Major penalties were called on both Dirty Blonde and Diablo; Kategory 5 added two more points in the reskate to bring the score to Hellcats 35, Rhinestone Cowgirls 32 with one jam left to skate.  The crowd was on its feet, screaming for both teams.  Purr Anna faced off against Rollergazm.  Rollergazm was held back in the pack while Purr Ann fought her way to the front and called off the jam to end the bout.  Final score:  Hellcats 35, Rhinestone Cowgirls 32.
This bout was thrilling and intense throughout.  Both teams played with a ton of heart–no one could say that they didn’t leave everything they had out on the track.  Both started their season with big statements:  neither of these teams can be counted out of the Calvello Cup chase by a long shot.  Next bout–Sunday, March 28th–the Cherry Bombs take on the Holy Rollers.  See you at the Thunderdome!!!!
