18 Gold February Power League Write-up
Playing with and against the top teams in Oregon and Washington is exactly where we want to be. That is what the Platinum division is all about, only the top 4 from each region. There are no bad teams and no easy matches!!!!!!
OJ's started off with a 2-0 win over another CEVA team, Oregon NW Juniors. This is now the second time in a row we have beaten the perennial CEVA team in a major event. We then played Seattle Juniors who came in as the # 2 Washington team and
had a great battle but lost in 2 sets 24-26 and 25-27. Seattle Juniors ended up finishing as the top Washington team and winning the tourney. We then were able to play another one of the top Washington teams, Kent Juniors 18's. In another very close match we lost in deuce games again. Kent Juniors 18 ended up playing Seattle Juniors in the finals. With the 1-2 record earned us 3rd place in the pool and a cross over match with Kent Juniors 17. A 2 set victory assured us of our return visit to the March Platinum League. In our final match it was a up and down sets as we dominated in the first set, then got thumped in the second and came back for a good third set victory that placed us in 5th place overall and the #3 team from Oregon. The only 2 teams we lost to were the top 2 teams in the tourney.
So clearly another good showing by the OJVA 18's ...... Thanks to Marty and Jeff who filled in for Steve who had to leave town at the last minute.
Remember.... The Will to Prepare to Win is more important than the Will to Win
