With jammers Mila Minute and Leia Mout leading the charge, the Glam Reapers rolled over the Juggernauts in a decisive 48 to 35 victory in December 2nd’s “Baby Doll Brawl�.

In what passes for a debutant ball in the world of “do it herself� grassroots roller derby, the two “fresh meat� teams consisting of mostly green skaters who have never played a public game, left the spectators with no doubt that they were at a full blown hard hitting LA Derby Dolls banked track match.

The Glam Reapers shot out of the gate from the start, and by the seventh jam led the Juggernauts 15 to 3. Their defense hit hard and gave no quarter to the Juggernaut offense. It looked like jammers Gori Spelling and Squirrely Muldowney were turning around the game for the Juggernauts, and the ‘naut’s defense tightened up when P.I.T.A started delivering rail bending blocks to the Reapers.

By the 19th Jam, the Reapers lead closed to a scant 6 points, leading 22 to 18, and it looked like the ‘nauts were going to catch up, but the Reaper defense kicked into high gear with veteran Razor Slut grinding the Juggernaut jammers into hamburger. The Reapers racked up a fair number of minor penalties holding back the Juggernauts, costing them a defensive player each time for the next jam.

But Reaper jammers Leia Mout, Mila Minute and Kung POW Tina slipped through the Juggernaut defense even when theirs was weakened due to penalties, to widen the lead back to 13 points at the end of the final period.
