Wasatch Roller Derby’s A and B teams put on two great shows Saturday night when they hosted the Treasure Valley Rollers of Boise, Idaho in a double-header bout.

The first bout of the night saw Wasatch’s A team, the Midnight Terror, continue their unbeaten streak with a big win over the Treasure Valley All Stars. The Idaho girls-in-green put up a hard fight in the beginning, scoring early. But ultimately, they were no match for MT’s finely honed derby machine.

 With a final score of 242 to 57, Midnight Terror continue their run to the 2012 Women’s Flat Track Derby Association Western Regionals.

After a brief pause in the action, Saturday night’s derby showdown continued when Wasatch’s B team, the Bonneville Bone Crushers, took on Treasure Valley’s B team. 

Unlike their more seasoned counterparts, these two teams had never faced each other on the flat track before. With a fresh roster and coming off a close loss to Billings, Montana, Magic City Rollers last month, the girls of BBC had a lot to prove.

It was apparent right off the bat that this new incarnation of the Bone Crushers was more in sync and better prepared to dominate the track. The bout started with back-to-back defense-defying jams from Wasatch’s Bunz Bunny and Lil’ n Gin. Before the end of the first half, Lil’ n Gin went on to land two 20-point jams.

A strong, tuned pack of blockers kept the Treasure Valley girls from putting many points on the board all night. And in one instance, when TVR managed to get lead, Bunz Bunny made a dash to close a half-track gap to catch the opposing jammer. Then, with a flick of her hip, Bunz sent the Idaho girl through the outside ref to meet the Wasatch fans sitting in track-side “suicide” seating. The bout also saw amazing jams from Wasatch’s Clam Jammer, Vishus Trollop and Penny Slain.

By the end of the bout, the Bonneville Bone Crushers sealed the victory with a 214 to 34 final score.

Midnight Terror vs Pikes Peak Recap

The ladies of Pike's Peak Derby Dames traveled from Colorado Springs, CO to duke it out with Wasatch Roller Derby's Midnight Terror in their first sanctioned bout since February. The evening was chilly but sunny as fans of both teams filled the Derby Depot,each hoping to see their team take come away victorious. Each team was stoic, but quite prepared as the first jam whistle blew. 

Starting off were Wasatch's Alli3 Kitt3n jamming against Pike's Peak's Pepper Slay. Both jammers sliced through the pack, but it was Alli3 who took lead jammer and started Wasatch off with the lead.

In fact, it wasn't until several jams into the half that Pike's Peak was able to score any points. Fortunately, Pike's Peak took advantage of a power jam situation and racked up 15 points, effectively changing the lead.

It was short lived, however, as Harry Slaughter immediately found herself in a power jam afterward and took the lead. By half, the score was 87 Wasatch 50 Pike's Peak. 

Youthlinc was responsible for the halftime show, and it brought several members of Mountain Boarders. These gentlemen did all sorts of tricks and flips on their beefed up skateboards that had the spectators whistling and cheering almost as much as they do for their derby team. 

The rest of the seats had filled by the time halftime was over. Alli3 Kitt3n and Pepper Slay faced off yet again for the start of the second half. Alli3 took lead jammer again within seconds of Pepper Slay snapping a truck, which effectively put her out for a couple of jams. This left Alli3 able to easily rack up another 24 points.

 At some point during the game, Flygrrl Mel ended up fouling out of the game, leaving Wasatch without its hard-hitting soul stealer.  The second half put the jammers of both teams through their paces with power jam after power jam that usually ended up switching halfway through a jam. 

Pike's Peak tried to take back their once-held lead, but Moonraker and Harry Slaughter hung onto their points and jammer panties as they brought home point after point. Skull Candi made her debut jams of the season after undergoing shoulder surgery a few months ago. 

After all of the power jams, and several lengthy timeouts exhaustion had begun to set in.




But Pike's Peak's jammer Kamilla Bloodspilla came through with one more 24 point power jam that let the final score rest at 183 Wasatch 148 Pike's Peak. 

Both teams gave it their all and showcased a game that had spectators screaming and cheering the entire time. Nice work, ladies!

Black Diamond Divas vs Red Rockettes RECAP

Recap written by Margie Ram

Wasatch Roller Derby's (WRD) Home Team Black Diamond Divas hosted the
local recreational league, Red Rockettes, in a memorable and exciting

roller derby bout this weekend.  Both the Divas and Rockettes put 

their power line-ups out there first but the Red Rockettes had a

difficult time breaking up the three-headed blocking monster of Bad
Karma Dharma, Vishus Trollop and Vulgar Vixen. Playing variations of
this power team repeatedly, coupled with the fast footwork of jammers
Bunz Bunny and Sweet Jane, the Divas were quickly ahead 54 to 4.

The Divas continued to get lead jammer and rack up points with an
impressive defensive game, tying up veteran superstar Rockettes
England's Glory, who is usually unstoppable. There was one tense
moment when Vishus Trollop, lead jammer for the Divas, took a big hit
from Rockettes Wanton Rebellion who then fell on Vishus' arm. The
Rockettes continued to get pummeled. Rockettes jammers England's
Glory, Nico Noir and Italian Hit Girl barely squeaked by a few times
making the half-time score 93 to 23.

After half-time, it was obvious the Rockettes were on fire. Their
walls were stronger and hits bigger, adapting their game to the Divas'
excellent strategy. Playing their own power house line-ups, the
Rockettes stepped up their game. In the second half, Rockettes
dominated with Divas' jammer Nike a GoGo getting bounced around like a
pinball by the heavy hitting duo Wanton Rebellion and Margie Ram.
Rockettes Joss Wheelin' took an amazing outside line and with smoke
coming off her heels shortened the Divas massive lead. Clearly, this
was a much closer game.

In an attempt to stop the Rockettes onslaught, Bad Karma Dharma's head
accidentally collided with Wanton Rebellion's face. Nothing more than
a darkening welt on Rebellion's cheek and possible concussion for
Dharma. Playing with heart and strength, Rockettes were able to more
evenly match line-ups, connect hits and make a valiant effort to win
this game. Despite their designation as a recreational league,
Rockettes dug deep and showed they were serious about roller derby and

had the skill to play with the competitive league.

The second half was an exciting 30 minutes of fun rough and tumble
action. Margie Ram and Grand Slam Brakefast practiced their recycling
by taking turns flattening Divas' jammer Galacticat. Despite Trauma
Girl's growling attempt to stop Rockettes jammer Italian Hit Girl,
Italy made an impressive showing as lead jammer. Rockettes jammers England's Glory,

Bandita and Disco Pony helped bring

the final score to 148 to 108, just 40 points shy of a win. 

WRD's Black Diamond Divas are a formidable team and are so far undefeated.
Can't wait for this rematch!
