JDB (Jerzey Derby Brigade),
hoping to keep its undefeated 2017 record intact, last night on its home
Morristown track hosted the Mason-Dixon Roller Vixens (MDRV) visiting from Hagerstown,
MD. Early signs were that JDB would do just that. Pushing through very well
organized blocking by Mason-Dixon, #3684 Californikate put JDB into a 10-point
lead in a power jam. Gains by one side, notably by #00 Mental Block and #235 A
Bomb, were balanced by gains by the other, notably #88 Poison Princess and
#1958 Thee Mighty Isis, leaving the point spread little changed at half-time:
79 - 66 in favor of JDB.
The second half from the start
looked different from the first as Mason-Dixon hit its groove. With a power jam
by #14 Mystery May Terror, despite a solid hit by #221 Det. Sure-Block Holmes,
MDRV overtook JDB 87-90. Thanks to spirited jamming and effective formation
blocking MDRV expanded its lead to 28 points. That is a vulnerable lead in
derby, however, as Californikate proved in the 16 point power jam that put the
score at a very competitive 107-117. Poison Princess rebuilt a 25 point lead in
a power jam, however, and the clock began to work against JDB. Despite gamely
skated jams and rough-and-tumble blocking by JDB skaters, MDRV built on its
lead in the remaining minutes. #88 Poison Princess brought the bout home for
Mason-Dixon by putting 28 points on the board in the final jam.
Final Score 139 - 228
in favor of Mason-Dixon.
