LA's Defense takes its toll on San Diego

The Wildfires of the San Diego Derby Dolls lost a tough one to The LA Riots Saturday night at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. The Wildfires had high hopes early on of finally besting their rivals from up north, but strong defense by the Ri-ettes kept that from happening. This battle of the natural and unnatural disasters was hard hitting and energy sapping for both sides, but in the end, the LA Ri-ettes looted the spirit from the San Diego Wildfires and snuffed them out.

Mission Valley News spoke with General Manager Isabelle Ringer before the bout and she promised a great fight for bragging rights. “These two teams are made up of all-stars, so the action will be knocked up a few notches,” said Ringer with her infectious grin. “You’re bound to see some slamming tonight!

Ringer and most others at the bout were expecting a close battle that might come down to the final jam due to previous encounters with The Ri-ettes. Mission Valley News spoke with The Wildfire’s #88 Kiki Diazz about dealing with LA’s troublemaker Bombshell Betty, but Kiki dismissed Bombshell saying that she was only one girl, and she was focused on the entire team. This would come back to haunt her as she would be beat around the ring like a bowling pin that night. San Diego’s # 703 O.B. Noxious said that this bout would be all about defense, and that the team was working on secret plans to deal with LA’s notorious jammer squad. When asked how her scoring would pan out, San Diego’s # 43 Bam Bam McGee made sure to find a piece of wood to knock on for good luck. LA’s # 33 Lace N’ Arsenic said she was confident of a victory due to her jammer stars such as #3:16 Cris Affliction and the notorious #36 Chargin’ Tina. But she also noted that defense would be key in securing a win.
