The D-Funk Allstars funked up the Devil’s Night Dames on February 13, totally extinguishing the Dames jammers, en route to a 102-59 victory. D-Funk limited the Dames to just 15 points in the 1st half; the Allstars led 53-15 at the halftime break. The 2nd half was much closer in score, although the Funk still won that half by a 49-44 tally. The Funk had more lead jammers in the opening half, 13-6, and held the Dames scoreless in 13 of the half’s 19 jams. D-Funk played mostly defensively in the half, although they enjoyed two big jams where the Funk’s Ghetto Barbie scored a 10-0 power jam win with the Dames jammer in the penalty box and when Polly Fester reeled off a 14-0 double grand slam win. The Funk got 45% if their 1st-half points in those two jams.
Play was fairly even in the 2nd half. The Dames had a slight edge in lead jammers, 9-8, but could never get any closer than 30 points behind in the half. The offensive highlight of the game for the Dames came when Formosa Fury scored a 10-0 double grand slam power jam win in jam 9. The D-Funk kept their jammers out of penalty trouble in the half, though, only losing two jammers to the box, and only allowing 12 points against by way of power jams, so the Dames were never able to catch up.
I had expected this game to be a shootout between the two star jammers, Racer McChaseHer for the Dames and Sista Slit’chya for the Funk; surprisingly, Racer only scored 21 points while jamming only 8 times, and Sista scored a mere 25 points in 10 jams. Formosa Fury was the only other Dames jammer to score in double-digits, and she had 16 points. The Funk were bolstered by Ghetto Barbie with 21 points, boo d. livers with 18, and Polly Fester with 17 pts. D-Funk’s Black Eyed Skeez also scored 6 points as a pivot when Roxanna Hardplace passed her the star in the 2nd half.
Several skaters had outstanding blocking efforts. For the Funk, Roxanna Hardplace led the way with a total of 46 actions (blocks, assists, and knockdowns). Her teammates Black Eyed Skeez had 35 actions, Fatal Femme had 30 (and was named game MVP), and Polly Fester had 25 actions. For the Dames, it seemed Racer McChaseHer was concentrating more on blocking than jamming as Racer had a fine total of 38 actions to lead her team. The Dames’ Vicious Vixen had 35 actions, Rock Candy had 31, Spanish Ass’assin and Summers Eve-L each had 23, and Whiskey Soured had 22 actions, including a game-high 10 knockdowns.
