Game Recap: February 20, 2010
The Naptown Roller Girls came rolling into town looking for a good match up and they got one! The G-Rap Attack started the night out facing off against The Warning Belles. The Attack skated like they meant business. Both teams jammed and blocked relentlessly. At the end of the first half, the score was 35-42 with the G-Rap hot on their heels! The Warning Belles played an excellent game and were challenged by the tenacity that is G-RAP ATTACK! The veteran and newer skaters of the Attack have really come together to form a cohesive, effective team. The second half was full of hard hitting and outstanding jamming by both teams. This was the closest game the Belles have skated and there is no doubt that G-RAP had them shakin’ in their skates! The final score was 55-87.
The All Stars battled against the Tornado Sirens for points with every jam from the start of the first whistle blow. The All Stars started out strong in the first half, leading 42-35. The second half proved to be quite the challenge as the Sirens racked up 30 points in the first 7 jams! Now, at this point, some may have counted the All Stars out. But the All Stars knew that they weren’t going down without a fight. This was their house. The next four jams, both teams put points up on the board with the Sirens still in the lead. The tide turned on the Sirens during the eleventh jam when they were unable to score any points; all the while the All Stars began to narrow the gap in the score. The Sirens did not score again. With the last jam about to start, the crowd was roaring and on their feet because score was tied, 85-85. The All Stars demonstrated their effective blocking skills as they made way for their jammer to score ten more points to win the game!!! In the end, this was an awesome matchup, but someone had to win and that night, it was the All Stars!
