WFTDA Sanctioned

#4 Denver 205, #6 Rat City 135 -- On Saturday night, Denver defended their home turf and their spot over Rat City in the WFTDA Western Region by defeating the Seattle team for the third time in three meetings.

Advantage in this one switched hands a few times in the opening ten minutes. Scoring opened in Rat City's favor as Rat City's Primp Daddy got lead for Rat City and took a 4-0 win over Julie Adams. The Rat City pack tried to keep things fast to combat the Denver defense, but Denver struck back immediately in jam 3, as Heather Juska took lead in a power jam for a 13-0 win over Juliet Bravo. Denver would also suffer from jammer penalties as Rat City pulled within one point when Juliet Bravo took a 8-0 win against Monica Carson during a power jam, and then regained the lead in another power jam, this one 15-4 for Primp Daddy over Juska to make it Rat City 27, Denver 22.

The Mile High Club pulled to 30-30 all tied with about 17 minutes remaining and then started to build a serious lead in jam 10 with Juska's 10-0 win against Juliet Bravo. Monica Carson grabbed lead and a 8-0 win over Jalapeno Business to extend the lead to 52-30. The Mile High Club defense continued to hamper Rat City jammers, allowing Denver to outscore Rat City 55-18 in the last 11 jams and close the first half with a solid 85-48 lead.

Denver exploded for one of their signature huge powerjams early in the second half, where Julie Adams dropped a 24-0 on Primp Daddy and gave Denver a 111-51 lead. Although the Denver lead didn't get too much bigger than that over the course of the second half, more than enough damage had been done, and Rat City went down by 70 in the end. -- Moon Yang

[Honky Tonk Stomp] #17 Nashville 180, Memphis 83 -- Game 3 pitted Memphis’ Hustlin’ Rollers against Nashville’s Music City All Stars. Although the Memphis v Knoxville game just previous was the most exciting in terms of lead changes, this bout was very active with many skater penalties. Nashville maintained lead jammer status over Memphis throughout the entire bout, forcing many zero point jams on Memphis; at the half, it was 85-35 Nashville. The second period proved even more difficult for Memphis as their jammers were only able to obtain lead status in two of 19 jams and one of those was a lead loss due to the Memphis jammer going to the penalty box for a major back block. The final score was Nashville 180, Memphis 83.

Nashville’s standout defensive player for this game was Jenny “The Jet” Rodriguez and Memphis’ standout defensive player was again, Bloody Elle. Nashville earned 62 minors and 29 majors compared to Memphis’ 51 minors and 20 majors. -- Leann Lewis

[Honky Tonk Stomp] #17 Nashville 160, Hard Knox 51 -- Nashville began the championship bout of the Honky Tonk Stomp tournament against Knoxville visibly focused, which was evident from the 22 point jam put up against Knoxville’s 2 points out of the gate. Nashville kept Knoxville from scoring in 13 out of 19 jams of the first period, while Knoxville was only able to shut Nashville out of scoring in 7 jams, 4 of which were 0-0 jams. The halftime score was pretty close to the previous game’s half time score with Nashville up 78-33.

Nashville started up the second period with another big jam, putting 15 more points on the board against zero for Knoxville. Knoxville fought hard in the second period, but only managed to score in 4 out of 17 jams and the bout ended with Nashville at 160 and Knoxville at 51.

For the final game of the night, standout defensive players repeated their performance from earlier games, with Jenny “The Jet” Rodriguez from Nashville and Tank Her A from Knoxville leading the charge. Nashville’s focus translated to fewer penalties than the earlier game with 47 minors and 26 majors against Knoxville’s 41 minors and 14 majors. -- Leann Lewis
