Volleyball league tightens as Boeke's team wins twice
In the YMCA volleyball series Boeke's squad swept the Teachers to clinch first place.

The Boys' Department remains crowded at the Y M C A with about 160 youths vying for space, exceeding the 150-cap limit and prompting potential building changes next year.
