As a 5-foot-6-inch sophomore, Oswego boys volleyball standout Jake Wollenberg had no idea he'd wind up his high school career the way he did.
Finally hitting a growth spurt before his junior year that helped him get to his current 6-2, Wollenberg burst on the scene the last two years on the varsity team and parlayed his success into a scholarship at Hannibal-LaGrange College, an NAIA school in Missouri.
Wheaton Warrenville South became the first boys volleyball team to win three consecutive state titles, beating Maine South 25-23, 25-14 Saturday in the final at Hoffman Estates.
Maine South's Eric Butch had seven kills, two blocks and four aces as the Hawks stunned Marist 25-21, 25-20 in a state tournament quarterfinal Friday at Hoffman Estates.
