On February 9th
Long Island Roller Rebels dug out of the snow left over from Nemo to
kick off the first bout of the 2013 season with The Return of the Home
Teams! Both teams had some old and some new faces on their rosters.
Starting with The Wicked Wheelers roster: Betty or Not, Captain Morgan,
Crashtastic Cate, Dropkick Dolly, Ermahgerd!, Femme&M, Hardcory,
Nautical Vile, PhDoubleD & Veloce Villain lead by Captains Amaretto
Soupuss & TNTeeny. The Ladies of Laceration’s line up Account
DeeRacula, ArcHER Back, ATTACKACARDIC, Bad A$$ Nat, Point N Shoot,
Revelyn Sin, ShadowboxHER, Thin Slice of Violence & Wushu Sugar lead
by Captains Breakneck Brie & Flossy SmackIntyre. Both teams have
not met on the track since 2010 when The Ladies upset The Wheelers to
advance to the 2010 championships. The Wheelers wanted to reestablish
their name on the track, however the Ladies were the first to put points
on the board with 4 points by ATTACKACARDIC! The Ladies would keep the
lead until jam 11. Veloce Villain would take the jammer line unopposed
and put up a 19 point jam placing the Wheelers in the lead by one point
36 to 35. By jam 15, Thin Slice of Violence would have an 11 point power
jam to keep the Ladies in the game 49 to 54 in favor of the Wheelers.
The following jam Veloce Villain would help give her team a comfortable
lead with an amazing 25 point jam! The Wheelers had great defensive
walls effectively shutting out the Ladies’ jammers lead by captains
TNTeeny & Amaretto Sourpuss. By the end of the first half it did not
look good for The Ladies of Laceration with a score 92 to 54 in favor
of the Wheelers.

In
the beginning of the second period the Ladies regrouped and came out
with strong walls by their blockers as ATTACKACARDIC would put up a 19
point power jam. In jam 12,
rookie jammer Revelyn Sin, had an 18 point power jam with a lead change
112 to 105 in favor of the Ladies. The game returned into a nail bitter
with the score so close it was hard to predict a winner. However by jam
21 The Wheelers took a loss with power blocker Amaretto Sourpuss taking
her 7th trip to the penalty box resulting in her being
expelled from the game. This upset the Wheeler’s manager Jefferee
causing him to follow Sourpuss to the locker room leaving the Wheelers
with one manager Glittersarus Rex. The Wheelers kept strong putting up a
fight with the score still close 139 to 113 Ladies. It came down to the
final jam with Veloce Villain & Attackacardic taking the jammer
line. ATTACK was able to gain lead jammer status and ran the period
clock out while both jammers racking up an even 12 points for each team
leaving the final score 151 to 125, Ladies Win!
