It will be a mix of regulars and newbies on the roster as the Mid Iowa Rollers put their undefeated record up against the Mahaska Mayhem at 7 p.m. tonight at the Spinnin' Wheels Skate Center, 1717 3rd Avenue East in Oskaloosa.
MIR Jammer/Blocker cTAL faTAL will lead an MIR (4-0) squad including which includes fellow veterans Mississippi Bruise. Mizz Lolli Pop Ya, and three others will join with 8 newbies in the bout against the Mayhem, which will be in its second bout ever.
Yet MIR Bench Coach Big Truck emphasizes that the presence of a number of newbies should not in any way be considered a knock against Mahaska. He points out that this is the first time in MIR's existence where the club does not have to rely solely on fourteen girls to make all of the bout. He estimates that over couple dozen girls have have achieved WFTDA certification and this bout gives them a chance to skate.
While Mahaska (0-1) is a young team with limited bout experience, Big Truck said they looked very impressive in their first bout, which was against MIR, who won 139-81.
"They didn't seem all that inexperienced to me," Big Truck said.
Admission for tonight's bout is $10 dollars. Children under 5 are free. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.
Note: I was unable to get a hold of anyone from the Mahaska Mayhem for an interview. I apologize for this.
