Since this got bumped anyway, here's the recap.
This was by far the craziest bout at Dorton since moving over there. The place was just bonkers for most of the night. Remember, CRG was playing the #1 team in the country, Kansas City, who had beaten the hell out of CRG at the National Tournament about 2 months ago.
CRG came out strong in the first period and put up a 30 point lead. The strategy was to put up a few points each jam, and hold off Kansas City's jammer Snot Rocket with all kinds of defensive manuevers (kind of like a Box and 1 in basketball). Denise Lightning had a HUGE jam in the first period and racked up about 20 points in one shot.
Kansas City came out with a vengence in the 2nd period and made up most of the lead quickly. At the end of the 2nd period, they were only down a few points. CRG looked lost out there, and to be honest, I thought they were going to get waxed by the end of the game.
The 3rd period was nuts, with a several lead changes. It came down to the very last jam, with the teams TIED at 95 points. Two of the best jammers in the country were on the track to try and win the bout outright. Denise Lightning (CRG)snuck through the pack first and got Lead Jammer, but Snot Rocker was right on her ass. Somebody hit Snot enough to slow her down, and Denise got past one of KC's blockers, picked up the point, and called off the jam. 95-96. The place erupted. People were going nuts. It was a hell of bout.
There's going to be a bout viewing at Woody's (near Moore Square) tonite at 6:30 if anybody is interested.  12/4/2007 9:57:46 AM
