"The Bombshell Brigade used a strong second half in Mesquite Saturday night to win a 145-61 victory over Viva La Revolucion. A strong defense allowed the Lone Star Assassins to defeat the Deadly Kennedys 140-47 in the opening bout of Assassination City Roller Derby's league event before a sell out crowd.

Eve L Genius opened up her bout with a 4-0 jam to give La Rev their
first and only lead of the night. Southern Vice scored ten points on the second jam for the Bombshell Brigade, which gave the team in red a 10-4 lead. Eileen left followed that jam up with a 5-0 score in the third jam and the Brigade had a 15-4.

Both teams exchanged scoring jams until Ursa Major scored a 4-0 jam for  La Rev narrowing the lead to 24-16. Bertha Contreaux scored a 10-6 jam for the Bombshells in the tenth jam expanding the lead to 34-22.

Both teams' defenses dominated for the next six jams as the Bombshell Brigade took an 8-4 advantage. But a 14 point jam by Red Hot Rage of the Brigade, which was countered by a 5-0 by Leigh Thality set up the final jams of the bout with the team in red ahead 117-58 after 13 jams.
