The Green Country Roller Girls used a strong second half to come from behind and pull off and impressive victory Sunday night against the Alamo City Rollergirls, 80-62 in San Antonio.
The team from San Antonio would start off with a lead and dominate
most of the first half against the squad from Tulsa. Las Tejanas
would utilize the jamming of Speedy Rella, and GoGo Ballistic to draw
out to a 40-27 lead over the visiting team from Oklahoma at
halftime. Blockers for Alamo City like Kitty Glitter, and Virgo
Vengeful would help control the front of the pack for most of the
first half.
The situation would change drastically in the second half as Rosie
the Wrecker and Whiskey Birmingham would jam hard, and take advantage of Alamo City jammers in the penalty box to outscore the home team 53- 22. Not only penalties by jammers would hurt Alamo City, even not getting a jammer on the track for a jam by Las Tejanas would put them in trouble. Still, the home team played tough defense only giving up five points, when they went two minutes without a jammer on the track. But while they were able to play tough at times, they couldn't overcome the penalty disadvantages occurring so often in the second half.
Too many opportunities for Rosie the Wrecker and Whiskey Birmingham would eventually help the Green Country squad to catch up, pass, and hold off Alamo City. Syko Path would change her focus to blocking in the second half, after scoring nine points in the first period, as she would help control the front of the pack for Green Country. Even when Alamo City was skating full strength late in the game, the Roller Girls from Tulsa would play excellent defense and shut the home team out in the last two jams.
Top scorers for Green Country included Rosie the Wrecker with 50
points, Psycho Path with 15 points, and Whiskey Birmingham with 13
points. All individual scoring is unofficial. Top blockers included
Syko Path along with Scarlet Devil, Hott Rodd Havoc, and Elektra
Violette.
Top scorers for Las Tejanas were Speedy Rella with 36 points, Gogo
Ballistic with 13 points, and Tonya Hurting with 9 points. Some of
the better blockers in the bout for Alamo City included Kitty
Glitter, Pleasure2BeatYa, Virgo Vengeful, and Scully Vera.
