The Denver Roller Dolls’ Mile High Club hosted the No Coast Derby Girls’ Mad Maxines from Lincoln on the 24th. No Coast is a WFTDA member league who is not yet ranked, while the DRD are in the process of applying for membership. Without either league in the rankings as of now it was difficult to determine which way the game may go, but the Mile High Club has played some impressive bouts recently, such as a match against one of Rat City’s home teams with an extremely close score. While the Maxines dominated the first jam of the period and scored the night’s first points, the Mile High Club immediately put a stop to that and gained a significant lead - 35 to the Maxines’ 18.
On the Mile High Club’s side, Friction VixXxen played a strong pivot and did a great job of either holding the Maxines back or knocking them to the ground, while Angela Death managed to snag a number of points. Rockett, who seems to usually play as a jammer, got some great blocks in, and Ro Chambeau proved to be a heavy contender in the point-scoring department on such a jammer-heavy league. The Mile High Club continued their strong lead through the second period - MHC 71, MM 38.
The Mad Maxines appeared to be a newer team, and their jammers looked to have a difficult time making it out of the pack, especially with some of Mile High Club’s stronger blockers up front. Busty St. Claire was a major point-scorer who was equipped with some good speed, and Sylvia Bullet was an extremely impressive blocker, going after Mile High jammers by herself a number of times and managing to knock them repeatedly to the floor. Sylvia isn’t your normal power blocker with her skinnier build, but her timing and her agility allowed her to get in some shattering hits on otherwise extremely stable skaters. The final score was Mile High Club 113, Mad Maxines 47.
No Coasts’ Mad Maxines are coming back to Denver to take on the Rocky Mountain Rollergirls on September 8th at the Bladium, and the Dolls’ next bout is later in the month on the 21st between their two home teams.
