"I Would Tell Him to Get Going ... Because There's No Substitute for Experience"

Those were the words of Harris Jorgenson (Burlington '09) back in August when asked what advice he'd give an 11-year-old boy considering volleyball. They were wise words then and no doubt worth another look (especially if you're an 11-year-old boy considering volleyball ... or his parent ... or a high school athletic director thinking about adding boys volleyball).

Of course, where volleyball has taken Harris Jorgenson is to UW-Oshkosh I. There, just last night, he had 10 kills on 11 swings in leading UW-Oshkosh past UW-Platteville.

Over the weekend, Oshkosh I went undefeated at their first WVC play date. And their counterparts, Oshkosh II, went undefeated at their play date.

Oshkosh I plays Lakeland tomorrow night.
