I5 rolls with win over D-Bombers 297-138

I headed over early to see the I5 v KDB D-Bombers bout.  There was a damned fine burger to eat.  A *very* fine burger!  If that burger were the only good thing to happen tonight, I would have called it a success, but alas, poor burger, you were to be overshadowed by the fine display of power and grace that is junior derby!

I5 blasted out of the gate with Dee Stroir's14 point romp as the I5 blockers swarmed all over Champ Pain, keeping her scoreless.  Each jam in the first few series' was the same for the Kitsap squad, as they struggled to find their footing against the solid walls of I5.  Then Lex Celerator popped the star on her noggin and found herself the beneficiary of a power jam thanks to a cut track by Lil Mean Sunshine.  She rattled off 30 points.

Seven minutes in, I5 found themselves with a 46-4 lead.

The problems just piled up for the D-bombers as their blockers and jammers found themselves in the box more often than on the track, giving I5RG power jams in fully 50% of the jams in the first half right along with pack advantages in just as many.  I5 took full advantage, crossing the century mark at 21 minutes into the game.  At the half, the score stood at 171-35.

In the second half, Kitsap came alive.  While the Rollergirls still took lead jammer 62% of the time, the power jams and penalties seemed to be favoring Kitsap this time! One of the most exciting jams of the game came halfway through the second half.

Dee Stroir and T-pain were on the line as jammers and both hit the pack.  Dee got through for lead while T-pain was struggling against the I5 squad.  She finally got through and shot after Dee, who found the back of the pack first, passing 2 Kitsap blockers before taking the barest of shoves out of bounds and picking up a cut track penalty!  The pack was short for I5, and T-pain was off like a shot, racking up 25 points thanks to some heads up offensive blocking by her teammates.

After that, it was almost all I5 as they scored 62-12 over the next 6 jams.

With the clock ticking down and down about 200 points, you would think that Kitsap would be demoralized, right?  Wrong.  They just kept on coming!  In the final jam of the game, Champ Pain was stuck hard after snagging lead jammer over Karmic Death, who was called for a track cut, giving Kitsap a much needed power jam!  

I5 was going to close this one down, though, and had Champ in a vice of blue blockers... but out of nowhere, a star pass!  Champ handed it off to KDB captain, Lil Mean Sunshine, who raced the track 5 times and picked up an amazing 23 points to finish out the game!

Excellent bout! 

Three Cheers for I5 Rollergirls

Maya Massacre - A game leading 74 points, 66% lead rate, 12.3 Points per jam?  It looks like I5 has yet another all star jammer on their hands!  First cheer for Maya!

Lex Celerator - She only jammed 5 times and scored 71 points.  She had great blocker stats with ticks in every column.  Is it any wonder she was the Washington State Roller Derby MVP?  A wonder to watch as always!  Cheer number 2 for Lex!

Hunter - She led the entire game in blocker stats with more big hits than anyone else in the game.  As one of the announcers said, it's like she teleports!  One moment, she's opening a hole for her jammer at the back of the pack, then out of nowhere she's in front laying a shoulder in to recycle her opponent.  Cheer number three for Hunter!

Three cheers for D-Bombers

Champ Pain - With 40 points she led all other Kitsap jammers, and she had several big hits as a blocker.  Definitely a double threat and well deserving of cheer number 1!

T-Pain - She was only two points behind Champ, but she well outperformed in getting lead jammer with a 60% lead rate in her 5 jams.  In a game where lead waqs rare for Kitsap, she was definitely of benefit.  Second Cheer for T-Pain!

Quarter PoundHer - She led her team in blocking stats, putting up solid numbers in every category.  Every time I looked up, she was a homing missile heading for the I5 jammer or making sure that her jammer had a safe path through.  Cheer three for QP!

Blocker StatsAnd now, the blocker stats! A blocker has three categories: jammer stops, open holes and big hits. 

B - Big hits are, well, big hits, but they have to be clean and they have to be significant. 
S - Jammer stops have to keep the jammer from getting through the pack in a significant way.
O - Open holes are awarded for creating an opening for your jammer to get through. 
A - Assists are awarded if you contribute significantly in a play which gives your teammate the ability to make a big play.

Remember, this is only based on what I can see. If I missed a big hit for you, I am sorry!
