Bout Recap: CCS Win Streak Ends in Springfield, Mo.
Circle City’s four-bout streak came to an end on July 17 when the Socialites faced off against the Springfield Roller Girls’ Battle Broads, who emerged victorious 95-67. It was the top half of a double-header that also pitted Springfield's All-Stars against the Kansas City Roller Girls.
The home team showed their dominance early on in the first period after an 11-point jam by Khaos. Beattie and Shock consistently laid out big hits on the Battle Broads’ jammers, but multiple trips to the penalty box hampered the Socialite’s progress in keeping the Battle Broads at bay.
Socialite jammer Roll-R Damage racked up a 14-point jam, then followed it with a 10-point jam for an encore. By the end, she had accounted for 46 of the Socialites' 67 points. Liberty Spykes earned another 13 points for the Socialites. Final score: 95-67, Springfield.
The Socialites next takes the track for their last home bout of the season, August 14 at the Forum at Fishers. Buy your tickets now! http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/96902
“Scars and Stripes Forever” Marks Fourth CCS Win in a Row
By Jamburglar
Fireworks went off indoors on 4th-of-July weekend when the Bleeding Heartland Roller Girls’ B-team, the Code Blue Assassins, bouted our own 
Circle City Socialites at the Forum at Fishers in “Scars and Stripes Forever.” When the teams last played each other last season, CCS led at the half but ultimately saw BHRG snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. But CCS has put the hurt on each of the last three teams they faced, and this time, they treated BHRG to a taste with a final score of 110 CCS, 30 BHRG.
After a fun exhibition bout from Indianapolis Junior Roller Derby teams Midwest Mafia and Rainbow Ragdolls, this Midwest matchup got underway. Things got off to a lively start with jammers Anya Booty (CCS) and Uh Huh Hurricane (BHRG) facing off in the first jam. Uh Huh went to the penalty box for a major back block, and Anya quickly called off the jam with no points so that CCS could start the next jam with no opposing jammer. This was the first of what would be many power jams for CCS.
BHRG blockers found their groove 10 minutes in and put up a great front wall with Tijuana Momma, Knitty Gritty, and Megabyte to knock around Roll-R Damage for nearly two laps. But they were unable to capitalize because CCS had a wall of its own, holding Sadie Macdeath at the back of the pack until the jam was called due to a hand injury on Raven Furies. CCS kept putting walls right in front of the BHRG jammers, allow
ing them to become lead jammer only six times in 34 jams. Uh Huh Hurricane finally had a good chance to get lead jammer, but was floored by Bambi Lance just before escaping the pack, letting Roll-R Damage get lead jammer yet again. Even when both Roll-R and Bambi were sent to the penalty box, CCS was able to hold BHRG to just four points.
Throughout the night, CCS engaged the BHRG jammers effectively, did their job in the pack, and gained lead jammer status the majority of the time. While this allowed CCS to control the game and prevent BHRG from racking up points, CBA blockers Shifty McGee, Uh Huh Hurricane, and Charmed N Dangerous had fun lining up some heavy hits on the Socialites. While only fielding three jammers because of Anya Booty's injury, CCS capitalized when BHRG jammers were in the box and ended jams intelligently. Jammer Fly had a great night, racking 6 grand slams. BHRG fielded 7 jammers, but only Betty Wreckognize reached double digits, with just 10 points in 10 jams. In fact, CCS blockers did such a good job of swallowing BHRG jammers that the Bloomington team scored points in just 8 of the 34 jams. Salacious T was a CCS newbie just a few months ago, but we saw her best performance ever tonight with several big hits and, more important, great positional blocking against BHRG jammers. CCS was too organized on the track, with 2- and 4-man walls showing up where needed, to lose points from big hits by BHRG. But, we all love big hits on the track, and thankfully we had both BHRG and CCS to give 'em to us.
