The Ball Crushers and Danny’s Bad Boyz earned unbeaten records after two days of competition in the 2017 VolleyTime Tournament at the Gilbert C. Ada Gymnasium.

The Jonas Barcinas-led Ball Crushers is in Pool A of the men’s division and registered its first win last Sunday against the Blue Dragons. Then last Monday, the Ball Crushers was pitted against Set It & 4Get It and also prevailed to get the early lead in pool.

In Pool B, there are only three teams with Have Mercy and Aces both beating the Ol’Aces in the first two days of the competition, which has a single-elimination format after the pool play. The playoffs will start tonight, while the championship match will be held this Friday.
Meanwhile, in the women’s division, All Stars and 1/2 and Goal Diggers are ahead of their respective pools after the first two playing days.
