Good morning sports fans and welcome to the Monday Morning Derby Desk. I'll be covering the South Central division for the season. It's my hope and attempt to keep you educated and informed about what happens here in South Central since it's the division I live and work in. If you have any questions, comments or breaking news, please let me know. Now, on with the show.
Saturday, Jacksonville Florida watched the season kick off with the New Jax City Rollers defeating the Ft. Myers Derby Girls 186 to 123. Jacksonville's home team action saw the First Coast Fatales spank the Duval Derby Dames 124 to 45.
Also on Saturday, Dallas' Assassination City Roller Derby played hostess to The Governors Cup tournament. The first round saw the Alamo City Rollergirls from San Antonio roll over Oklahoma City Roller Derby 170 to 83. Assassination City's Special Ops took out Northwest Arkansas Roller Derby 160 to 123. Duke City Derby out of Albuquerque, N.M. defeated the Oklahoma City Victory Dolls 141 to 118.
The next round saw Special Ops get their second victory. This time against Alamo City's Las Tejanas; final score 172 to 92. Last seasons reigning champions, Austin's Texecutioners, crushed Duke City's Munecas Muertas 243 to 36. Finally, closing out Day 1, OCRD's Tornado Alley Rollergirls lost to Northwest Arkansas' All-Stars 186 to 75.
Sunday-Day 2 of The Governors Cup started off strong with the Munecas Muertas learning a lesson from Austin and teaching it to the Victory Dolls as the final score was 236 to 84. The Northwest Arkansas All-Stars sent Las Tejanas home with a final score of 147 to 130. The Texecutioners showed their hostesses how they became the number one team in the division by beating them into submission with a final score of 337 to 46. The Munecas Muertas remembered The Alamo and gave Northwest Arkansas' All-Stars no room to breathe, defeating them 215 to 77. Using their momentum against Special Ops, Munecas Muertas gained another victory the following game, 144 to 101. Finally, just as they looked unstoppable, Duke City hit the wall that is The Texecutioners and had to settle for second place with as Austin won 297 to 56.
