Leading her team last year in kills, hitting percentage and kills per set as sophomore at Argonia, now junior Autumn Coleman is excited to be back and playing high school volleyball again.
Coleman, an outside hitter and left back, last year had a staggering 372 kills, 4.0 kills per set and a 0.242 hitting percentage, but still believes there is room for improvement.
“One area that I would like to improve on is my hitting,” Coleman said. “I worked on my hitting during our practices and small groups.”
Last year Coleman earned accolades such as SCBL All League First Team and Class 1A DII KVA ALL-STATE honorable mention. As well as being on KSHAA Class 1A DII 2024 Volleyball Players to Watch in 2024 year.
Even with all the accolades, Coleman wants to improve.
“An individual achievement that I have is hopefully making SCBL All League First Team. I also hope that if we go to state, I hope that I can get Class 1A DII KVA ALL-STATE honorable mention or possibly even higher,” Coleman said.
Coleman also helped lead the raiders to a 38-9 season and a 9-0 league record, which she hopes to do again with her friends and even getting the opportunity to play with her younger sister, Lindsay.
