Roller Derby “season” is starting to pick up and we are starting to see more match ups between top teams. This weekend features several games among highly ranked teams, although we don’t expect any of these to have much impact on rankings this early in the season. The possible exception is the Arch Rival @ Naptown game because Naptown plays the bulk of their games during the winter and typically lays low heading into tournament season. Their chances of reaching the North Central regional tournament for a second consecutive time (which they are hosting in Indianapolis) hinge on strong performances over the next few months. With the exception of Vince Hannity, we are all pretty much in agreement here at RDIT on how this weekend will shake out. As usual, we hope we are wrong on some of these.
