Help Needed

I need a slogan.

I'm planning on being in Chicago next month to see Sonoma take on the Outfit. Since I will be one of the few people in the crowd cheering for the visiting team, I want to make it really well known that I am a California derby girl.

So I'd like to make a custom shirt. With a catchy slogan. And that saying could be the official slogan for this blog.

But I can't think of anything! Seriously. The only thing I have so far is "Nor Cal does it better." Which is....blah.

Please submit any suggestions you may have in the comments!

SCDG vs CCRD Re-Cap

Leagues: Sacred City Derby Girls vs Central Coast Roller Derby
Date: March 28th, 2009
Final Score: 103 to 48 Sacred

**This re-cap was written by Sacred's very own Mathemortician. There were some edits done by Killer Vee**

CCRD and Sacred have always had a really great relationship. They have met on the track twice: once in 2007 and again on March 28, 2009. Both games resulted wins for Sacred City with the 2007 bout having a 122 - 56 win.

Central Coast came with some strong teamwork and smart pack playing. They lead with Lacey Thunderware in front and Berta the Hurta in the back of the pack, which is a strong combination. Regular jammers Hillfire, Resident Vixen and Pow Ow played predominantly in the pack, which was a surprise as Sacred expected to see them donning the jammer star. However, Hill Fire did jam frequently in the first period. After gathering 4 cutting the track majors, Hill Fire spent the second period playing the role of the pivot.

Central Coast jammers were: April Fool's (15 points in 4 jams), C. J. Hooker (10 points in 11 jams), Ivantor (9 points in 7 jams), LoMag (6 points in 3 jams), Hill Fire (4 points in 11 jams), and Resident Vixen (4 points in 3 jams).

And for Sacred: Her Meechness (25 points in 8 jams), Rosie Rampage (22 points in 7 jams), Cash Money (22 points in 10 jams), Candy Crusher (19 points in 11 jams), Mugshot Mary (12 points in 6 jams), and Gangstalicious (3 points in 1 jam).

This was Mugshot Mary's first game this season after recovering from an injury last year. Rosie Rampage and Her Meechness both stepped up their performance after a difficult time navigating Orange County's pack at the Sacred season opener in February.

Notable heavy hitters were Shadow Soldier, Mathemortician, and Vava Voom for Sacred and Berta the Hurta and Mac-Attack from Central Coast. Slingshot had a solid night as a defensive pivot for Sacred as well. Overall, it turned out to be a defensive blocker's game with low scoring and many shut out jams.

CCRD Rosters: April Fools / BadAss Blondie / Berta The Hurta / CJ Hook-Her / Hill Fire / Ivanator / Lacy Thunderware / Lo Mag / Mac Attack / Metal Mellisha / Pow-Ow / Resident Vixen / Submiss / Zona Hussy

Sacred Rosters: Candy Crusher / Cash Money / Chica Loca / C-Notch / Frida Bandida / Gangstalicious / Her Meechness / Mathemortician / Mugshot Mary / Rosie Rampage / Shadow Soldier / Slingshot / Teenie Meenie / VaVa Voom

April 4th, 2009 April Foul's Bout


League: B.ay A.rea D.erby Girls

Teams: Oakland Outlaws vs Richmond Wrecking Belles

Date: April 4th, 2009

Time: Doors at 6:30 pm, Bout at 8:00 pm

Location: Fort Mason Center Herbst Pavilion in San Francisco, CA


Grudge match! The last time these two teams faced off was in November 2008 for the season championship. The Outlaws pulled out the win that night with a 90 to 79 score in a close back-and-fourth game. In the 2008 season, the two teams met three times. Both teams won one of those battles before going into the Championship. In this current match-up, Oakland is looking to solidify their championship winning status as Richmond is looking to settle the score.

Since the Wrecking Belles 2007 rookie season, they have been known for their quick and aggressive defense. A large part of the B.A.D. all-star team blockers are taken from Richmond's core starting blockers (Liza Machete, Demanda Riot, Velveteen Savage, and Lusty Malice). Anytime you play against Richmond, you are guaranteed a very physical and very frustrating game.

Last season, Oakland was more well known for their independent jammers and their stellar scoring streaks. The leagues top two jammers last year were Oakland players Kitt Turbo and Burly Bot. This season, Kitt Turbo is retired and Burly Bot is now being helped out on the jammer line by up and coming all-star Jane Hammer and ex-pack player Killer Vee.


To say that both teams are excited about this game would be a gross understatement. This bout will set the tone for these two rivals for the rest of the year. Both teams are looking to prove themselves on Saturday night and whichever team gains the win may also gain the momentum for the rest of the season. It's sure to be an exciting and unpredictable bout.






Oakland Roster: Bad Ass Mo' Foe / Brick Shields / Burlybot / Deadly Nightshade / Franknhurter / Jane Hammer / Jennacologist / Killer Vee / La Chica Mala / Lady K.O. / Lemmy Chokeya / Polly Puredread / Roughhouse Rhonda /Taxi Scab





Richmond Roster: Astronaughty / Brawllen Angel / Chantilly Mace / Demanda Riot / Diva Negativa / Friskie Meow / Golden Skate Warrior / J Crush / Liza Machete / Luda Kris / Lusty Malice / Nina Beretta / Roxie the Riveter / Velveteen Savage

SVRG vs Valley Fever


Leagues: Silicon Valley Roller Girls v Valley Fever Roller Derby
Teams: SVRG Killabytes v VFRD
Date: April 4th, 2009
Location: Fresno, CA


Silicon Valley's brand-spankin'-new B team, the Killabytes, will be traveling to Fresno this weekend to battle the Valley Fever Roller Derby.

The Valley Fever girls, as I understand it, are a brand new league that was born from a split league. From what I hear, this is their first bout as a league. The event is appropriately named "First Blood." Some of the girls are on the roster seem to be former Smog City skaters but most of the names are unfamiliar to me.

Now, when it comes to Fresno...I got nothing. I didn't even know there was a split! Apparently the original Fresno league Smog City is now defunct and there are two new leagues in that area, the Valley Fever and No-Town.

Huh. Interesting.

Silicon Valley's team, the Killabytes, are playing their first bout as a team. They are technically the traveling B team for the league but the roster includes some skaters from their A team, the Dot Kamikazes.

The girls are being currently being coached by veteran B.A.D. retirees Pandamonium and Pia Mess along with current B.A.D. All-star Brawllen Angel. Also rounding out the coaching for the San Jose team is Denny aka Left Turn Only. So they've gotten plenty of wisdom and advice from these four. LTO and Pandamonium will be bench coaching for the team this weekend in Fresno.

Good luck to both new teams in their bout this Saturday! I'm sure I'll have a brief score update for you by Sunday :)
