Games on Thursday
(FilOil Arena)
4 p.m. – Capital1 vs Farm Fresh
6:30 p.m. – Choco Mucho vs Galeries Tower
GALERIES TOWER (GT) will try to sustain its best start in franchise history as it clashes with a struggling Choco Mucho on Thursday in the PVL All-Filipino Conference at the FilOil Arena.
The GT Highrisers knocked out the heavily favored Nxled Chameleons, 25-19, 17-25, 25-20, 25-21, last week that sent the former to their second win in four starts — their strongest since joining the league three years ago.
While some consider it some form of luck, Galeries Tower’s Roselle Baliton it was also a product of hard work and the sacrifices they made.
“As they say, the ball is round,” said the six-foot middle-blocker, who was named by the media scribes as their Player of the Week following her 16-point masterpiece that she laced with a mammoth seven-block effort in that shock Nxled upset.
“Our winning culture is starting to show because we’ve been through a lot and trained hard to get this far,” she added.
They will battle at 6:30 p.m. against a Choco Mucho side that has been limping as of late following a 1-3 start.
Also seeking a third win are Capital1 (2-3) and Farm Fresh (2-2) at 4 p.m. — Joey Villar
