In the 18s, the top nine seeds all went undefeated, led by No. 1 SPVB 18 Elite. In the 17s, seven of the nine top-seeded teams survived the first day unscathed, including top seed Academy 17E Tsunami. Tri-State Elite is the No. 1 seed in both the 16s and 15s and showed why by going undefeated.Second round of pool play gets underway Saturday. Championship day is Sunday.
