The first event of a new season is a good chance to find out how teams are shaping up in a league. If Sunday evening was any indication, then last years two top teams will be the teams to beat this year in Houston Roller Derby. The defending champion Psych Ward Sirens defeated the Burlesque Brawlers 162-80, and the runner up Bayou City Bosses beat the Machete Betties, 113-76.

The first game of the night between the Bosses and the Betties started off tied 17-all in the fourth jam. But team Captain Miss Lead would score four points for the Betties while Goldie BloXX was picking up a single point in the fifth jam as the machete wielders would take their first and only lead of the game. The team in black would counter with a 9-0 jam with Holla Pain Yo jamming, and rookie Lu Animal would follow up with another 9-point jam while the Bosses defense would shut out the Betties, putting the Bosses up by 36-21. Another 7-point jam by Holla Pain Yo and 7-point and 8-point jams by Death By Chocolate would expand the Bosses lead at half time to 75-42. (more…)

Here is a review that’s been sitting the the Colonel Pod’s in-box for a few months. There’s been a few more travel games since this was recorded.

Also, the 2008 season is about to kick off! We hope to see you there, and hopefully you’ll hear from us again soon.
