Judy was the best. I was introduced to Judy Sowinski in the mid 1960’s when I first started watching the Roller Games on Ch 5 KTLA Los Angeles with announcer Dick Lane. Sowinski, Lynch, Hernandez, Patrick, Sanchez, Miller and so many other great T-Bird women. All the skaters were great in the Roller Games league. I used to see these games at the Anaheim Convention Center, and the Olympic Auditorium. What a great time. I would wait for the skaters to leave through the back entrance to get autographs and pictures on my Polaroid camera. Skaters were tired but they were always so gracious to stop for a picture or an autograph. Thank you to all of the skaters who indulged this 15-year-old kid from Orange County who loved Roller Games.
Thanks for sharing your memories! Judy was the best. She and I became close friends when she was coaching the Penn Jersey Roller Derby league in 2005-2011 with Arnold "Skip" Schoen (former Warrior). She was one of a kind!
Her opponent was Sherry Jackson. I'm not sure why they used Jacowski when she was on the Bucks. That could have been her real last name, but I'm not sure about that. Sadly, Sherry passed away on May 24, 2012. Sherry skated on the Renegades, Bucks, Cats, Team Canada and other teams.

Ahhhhh Judy. What a treasure to Roller Games even though I was a Cats fan.
Judy cut some awesome promos!
Go Cats! Saw them a few time at the Baltimore Civic Center and even once at Glen Burnie High School. 😊
I also seen the cats at the Norfolk Virginia scope arena
God Bless them Polack women 🇵🇱
Never heard of Judy's opponent. I remember "Pretty" Peggy Fowler going to Cleveland...
