MRunDeafeated!

That's right, my friends. We won again! And boy howdy was that a sweet victory over Connecticut. 87 to 39!

Let me first say that bout was difficult. I was absolutely shocked every time I looked at the score board and saw we were ahead. Every jam felt like we were getting destroyed. There were very few jams I skated off the track feeling confident.

So, how did we win? Overall, CT seemed like a defensive team. While they were hitting the crap out of blockers and our jammer, they left their jammer out to dry. The didn't help her score points and when the jammer did get lead she'd call it off before scoring anything, just to keep us from scoring.

Clearly, that strategy didn't work, BUT it did make it tough for me and the Mom Bomb to work our magic at the front of the pack. However, we are adaptive ladies and managed keep the opposing jammer from scoring our points during many jams.

The lovely Olive Spankins racked up 41 points, that's 47% of all points for the night!

And MVP for the second time - Killer Quick!

The crowd, as usual, was awesome! I can't express my love for our fans. They hoot and holler every time our jammer breaks the pack. And big hits always get a loud "Ohhhh!" And the kids - oh man! They are adorable! They all danced while the band played. One little boy was running around with his hands on his hips and baseball sliding (that's a slide on your side) into corner four! He must've done it like 5 times.

And the kiddies all came up for group pictures and autographs after the bout. It's such an honor to see their happy faces. I get all choked up in a we-are-the-world-we-are-the-children sort of way. Just look at them:

And the after-party... well that one needs a separate blog to do it justice. Plus I'm waiting for the pictures and videos. It's quite epic and involves a Sit & Spin, major awards and, well, you'll see...
