USARS Roller Derby National Championships
Oly Rollers 124, Antagonist 18
Oly Warriors (Men) 206, Tulsa 23
Oly Warriors (Men) 53, Your Mom 44

The Oly Rollers didn’t get the shutout like yesterday but they dominated Seattle’s Antagonist Roller Derby with a 124-18 win to advance to the USARS Roller Derby championship game in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Oly will take on Port T’Orchard at 3:00 PM Pacific Time for the title.

The Oly Warriors, the men’s side of the Oly Rollers, picked up two wins on Saturday, knocking off Tulsa 206-23 and Your Mom 53-44 in a bout that ended midway through the second half when Your Mom collected too many fouls and had too many player disqualified to continue. The Warriors will play Your Mom again on Sunday at 1:15 PM Pacific Time for the USARS title.

Saint Martin’s 4, University of Mary 4 (2OT) – Recap
SPSCC 1, Southwestern Oregon 1 (2OT)

On Senior day at Evergreen Pitch, Seniors Greg Wolfe, Joseph Ademofe and Dyson Fowler each scored in their last career home game in Evergreen’s 3-1 win over Oregon Tech. Seniors Collin Harlow and Mauricio Sanchez split time in goal collecting four saves in the win. The win put a little bit of much needed distance between the Geoducks and the Hustlin’ Owls for the fourth and final playoff spot in the CCC. Evergreen hits the road for four conference games to close out the regular season.

Saint Martin’s scored three goals in the final 10 minutes of regulation to comeback from a 4-1 deficit and earn a double overtime, 4-4 draw with the University of Mary. All eight goals in the game were scored in the second half including a goal by the Saints’ Ivan Gonzalez in the 60th minute and goals by Dylan Gaydosh, Jake Zimmer and Luke Chouinard in the 80th, 82nd and 89th minutes respectively.

Northwest Elite Index ranked the top ten football uniforms in Washington State and gave Tumwater the #4 spot. But because #1 WF West has a gimmick gray-for-gray’s sake uniform and #2 and #3 go black-for-black’s sake, I automatically bump the T-Birds up to #1. – Link

Karp lives! Skateland’s final superfly

Jul 18

Posted by

Today I heard one of my favorite songs from a local band: “Connect 5” by the late, great Karp. It tells the story of Skateland’s final superfly, Bobby Fever. This has to be the theme song for a men’s roller derby team in town, right? Enjoy…

It wasn’t the Tumwater band’s only local sports themed creation: they named their first album “Tumwater T-Birds”. As you can see in this clip from the Karp documentary “Kill All Redneck Pricks”, it was not lovingly titled…

While we are at it and since it is Lakefair…

Karp lives!

Oly_RollersThis news is almost a month old, but the Oly Rollers confirmed to the Derby News Network that they will not be competing in the WFTDA post-season this year after winning The Hydra in the first year they were eligible in 2009 and then three straight second place finishes in 2010, 2011 and 2012. Oly did not schedule enough WFTDA sanctioned events to qualify for the post-season opting to schedule more USARS events this season. – Link
