Three junior roller derby games deliver huge June 20 scoring outbursts

Three open-division junior derby bouts turned into scoring avalanches on June 20, with No Coast Junior Derby’s Furiosas reaching 263 points and every winner clearing 229. The results showed a familiar junior-derby split: the strongest programs kept piling up points, but the losing sides still found enough offense to stay in the fight and expose how uneven the open division can be.

Tampa Bay Junior Derby’s Tampa All Stars beat Red Stick Roller Derby Juniors The Feral 229-146, powered by a 136-point first half and another 93 after the break. Wasatch Junior Rollers’ Wasatch A*Salt followed with a 250-186 win over South Texas Knockouts, putting together 138 points in the first half and 112 more in the second. No Coast Junior Derby produced the day’s highest total, defeating Dallas Derby Devils’ Dallas Junior’s All Stars 263-179 after a 163-point opening half and a 100-point second half.

The shape of the scores mattered as much as the totals. Tampa Bay’s margin suggested a team able to convert possession into repeated scoring trips without needing a heavy defensive slog. Wasatch’s 250-point output pointed to the same formula, with offense coming in waves even as South Texas reached 186 in defeat. No Coast’s line was the clearest sign of separation: Dallas scored 101 in the second half and still could not make a dent in a 84-point gap, which speaks to how quickly a talented junior roster can open a bout and put it out of reach.

For JRDA, these results fit a bigger summer pattern. The association says it works with junior roller derby leagues in the United States to develop the sport for youth and also collaborates with international junior roller derby organizations. Its 2026 postseason is spread across June sites, including Fort Walton Beach, Florida, while its 2025 championships were held in Loveland, Colorado, and the next Junior Roller Derby World Cup is set for summer 2027 in the United Kingdom.

Taken together, the June 20 scores read like a pipeline report as much as a results sheet. The top open-division teams are clearly deep enough to break games open early, while the lower end of the bracket is still producing offense of its own. That combination is exactly what makes the junior game so revealing: the gap at the top is real, but the scoring volume shows the talent pool keeps growing.
