Hellcats vs Putas del Fuego Bout Recap by Lady A
Which of these teams would take home the victory? Both teams were seeking vengeance. The Putas were looking for their first win of the season, and the Hellcats were looking to bounce back after their defeat at the hands of the Holy Rollers. For the introductions, the Putas entered first to the tune of "Smooth Criminal" carrying guns and shooting at Flamers dressed as cats. The Hellcats entered with firefighters and sign that said "Fuego Squad".
The bout got under way. Both teams jammed a small army of skaters. The Putas featured a regular rotation of Chola, Evil Stellator, Death Vallery, Heine Daner, Lynnie Bruise, and Cocochina; the Hellcats sent Dixie Sanchez, Knottie Knoxville, Purr Anna, Dirty Blonde (first bout back after an injury!), and Curly Suicide to the jammer line. The bout was very physical--lots of pushing, shoving, falling, and railing was going on in the pack. Both teams brought a lot of intensity and fought hard for every point. At the end of the first quarter, the score was Hellcats 15, Putas 6.
The second quarter lead off with an arm wrestle between Knottie Knoxville and Moko Loco--Knottie won easily, returning to her dominance of this penalty. A series of low-scoring jams followed with many skaters getting caught in the pack behind a wall of blockers. Full jams by Curly Suicide, Heine Dancer, and Dixie Sanchez got the points flying again. In the last jam before halftime, Dixie Sanchez was leading the pack when a fight broke out by the Putas bench. Chaos ensued. Dixie was given no points for the jam, even though she passed the pack while they were busy fighting (at least I think that was what happened). Team captain Dirty Blonde went to contest this with the referees and a fight between Dirty and Chola (and then everyone else) follwed. Chola was ejected from the bout and she threw her helmet into the crowd. The Putas got together in a circle and spiked their helmets in protest. The crowd went to halftime full of speculation and confusion. The score was Hellcats 25, Putas 13.
After halftime, the refs announced that Chola was back in the game but penalized with two majors; Dirty Blonde took one major for the Hellcats. Chola was bitten by someone in the fight before halftime, but the referees had no way of telling who it was. The bout resumed with both skaters in the penalty box. Dirty Blonde, Knottie Knoxville, and Curly Suicide put a series of full jams to push the Hellcats further into the lead. The Putas continued their defensive work to make earning the points as hard (and painful) as possible. At the end of the third quarter, the score was Hellcats 43, Putas 24.
The fourth quarter continued in the same vein. During a jam between Chola and Curly Suicide, Chola took Curly down in a headlock and ended up at the bottom of a pile of skaters, which injured her knee. She was later ejected from the game again after spitting on Dixie Sanchez and swearing at the referees. Near the end of the game, the Putas contested every jam with a fight, which resulted in major penalties for Maya Mayhem and Heine Dancer. Final score was Hellcats 55, Putas 29
All in all, this was a very entertaining, physical bout, and I'm sure there will be a lot of follow up bruises. See you all at the next bout on June 22 when the Cherry Bombs take on the Rhinestone Cowgirls. Be there or be square!
