For much of the weekend at the NW Jamboree, it looked like the Championship of the 16 Power I Division would come down to a clash between Columbia 16-Red and Columbia 16-Black. 16-Red rolled through their first pool without a challenge, but that easy first pool may have left them less prepared for their tougher 2nd pool. After the shock of an opening pool loss, the ladies of 16-Red recovered and began to roll again before finally facing (twice) the team that prevented these ladies from claiming their spot in the Gold Power I final. Columbia 16-Red proved they can dominate, and they'll have more chances to take that talent to another Championship.
Columbia 16-Red scores: defeated Kitsap 16 Absolute 25-15, 25-6; defeated Team Yakima 16-2 Jensyn 25-15, 25-15; defeated WAVE 16 25-14, 25-11; lost to Olympic Premier VBC 12-25, 25-23, 13-15; defeated Pacific Coast 16 Power 25-16, 25-14; lost to Oly Reign 15 Gold 22-25, 14-25; lost to Oly Reign 28-26, 23-25, 10-15. - 16 Power I Gold Quarterfinalists (4-3, 10-6)
