Mistilla the Killa
I was certainly sad that I couldn’t make Houston Roller Derby’s first travel game this year in New Orleans. It of course would have been a great time, and apparently it was a great game with healthy veterans, flashy rookies, and improved pack communication.
Luckily Kerry McClain was there as always to take some great photos and give us a real feel for the battle against the Big Easy Roller Girls.
HaRD Knocks in New Orleans
A series of big jams by the visiting Houston Roller Derby HaRD Knocks overwhelmed the Big Easy Rollergirls 254-43 Saturday night in New Orleans.
The visiting team opened up with a ten-point jam by Death By Chocolate, and an 11-point jam by Mistilla the Killa to take a 21-4 lead after two jams. The key jam of the night occured in the fourth jam of the game after both jammers were whistled off the track for major fouls in the third jam. Speed O Racer, skating in only her third bout ever, took the jammer helmet cover, and soon after obtaining lead-jammer status, the Big Easy jammer was sent to the penalty box. The Houston blockers slowed the pack down, and the speed skating flash led to four pack passes and a partial pack pass to score 23 points. That is most points ever scored in a jam by a Houston Roller Derby jammer. The score ballooned out to a 40-point lead for HRD, and the HaRD Knocks never looked back.

NWA @ JOPA
Saturday, the Houston Roller Derby HaRD Knocks teams proved they were ready to argue for a solid ranking position in the WFTDA west region, defeating the Northwest Arkansas (NWA) Rollergirls 176-79.
The game opened up tied after one jam, but two nine-point jams by Death By Chocolate and Savage Rose for Houston moved the lead out to 43-21 for the squad from the Bayou City after the seventh jam. An eight-point jam by Mellow Yellow of the NWA Killbillies narrowed the lead to 47-29, but another nine-point jam by Savage Rose helped expand the lead to 81-48 in favor of the HaRD Knocks at halftime.
