B Team experienced some of the A Team's defensive problems on Saturday, when they hosted the at Baldwinsville. But the offense was a bit better. Ithaca won the bout 202-90.
Assault City A Team coach Crazy Diamond and Hot 107.9's emceed, and did an awesome job explaining not only the "what" of what was going on, but also the "why."
Favorite parts of the bout:
» The Bluestockings brought cheerleaders – all male, and all in matching jumpsuits.
» I've mentioned before roller derby is a family-friendly, and especially girl-friendly, event. One Assault City skater took a couple of young girls by the hand at halftime and skated them around the track (the girls were running). Awesome.
» Halftime entertainment: Live music by , who were loud but still managed to sound good in an ice rink.
I still love all the things I said last time, too. And what Crazy D said. And it's why I'll continue to support derby locally as long as teams are playing.
Assault City's next bout is July 17 at the Baldwinsville Ice Arena. Go seem. And .
