Wheaton Academy coach D.A. Nichols said Maggie Johnson, whose hip and knee have been giving her trouble, was at 75 percent, while her partner on the outside, Shelby Vischer, was slowed by an infection.
Yet in their fifth match of a long day, there was Johnson, Vischer and the rest of the Warriors slugging it out with PSL regular-season champion Chicago Christian in the title match...Read More...

Maggie Johnson is the leader on Wheaton Academy's girls volleyball team -- and it was easy to see why on Tuesday.
Johnson, a 4-year varsity player, tallied a match-high 15 kills along with 8 digs and 3 aces, leading the Warriors to a 25-21, 24-26, 28-26 nonconference win over Batavia on the road in both teams' first outing of the season.
"It's always on me to show leadership," Johnson said. "It's not just in the tough games. You have to be on every game no matter what. If they look to me to get a kill, I'm OK with that because that's what my job is."
Johnson, an outside hitter, was fierce in the crucial Game 3. With Batavia leading 24-23, she recorded a kill that tied the game at 24, which was the 10th knot of the game...Read More...

Wheaton Academy girls volleyball player Maggie Johnson’s recruiting visit hit all the right notes in Music City, U.S.A.
A couple days after checking out Belmont University in Nashville, Tenn., Johnson verbally committed to play for the Bruins beginning in 2008.
“I just loved it,” said Johnson, a 5-foot-10 outside hitter who will be a senior at Wheaton Academy. “I knew it was the right place.”
Johnson said Belmont saw her play for the Sports Performance Volleyball Club in the Power League at the Great Lakes Center in Aurora before watching her again in a March tournament in Indianapolis.
The high-flying hitter visited Belmont with her mom, Lynne, during a weekend break in Sports Performance’s schedule. Johnson waited to return home so she could talk with her dad, Walter, about her decision.
But Johnson knew Belmont was the school for her during her visit. She liked the coaching staff...Read More...
