Rose Hill’s Kadance Heumann – Volleyball Spotlight – Presented by Shire Graphics

By Hayden Swope

Rose Hill’s Kadance Huemann has a long history with volleyball. As a junior last season, Huemann was a second team all-league setter for the Rockets, and celebrated her 1,000 assists.

“I’ve played volleyball for 10 years and have always loved it,” Huemann said. “I play volleyball for all the relationships that I have made. I have made so many good friends by playing volleyball.”

While the Rockets fell just short to McPherson last year in substate, the Rockets started the 2024 season undefeated after 10 games, which was the team’s best start since the 2011 season. Huemann hopes to add on to her assists and celebrate another achievement later this season.

“I would like to try and reach 2,000 career assists by the end of the season, but I also like to make first team all-league for my senior year,” Huemann said. “I ended last season with 595 assists for the season, I currently have 103 assists for the season, and I currently have 1,318 career assists.

While also a starter on the Rose Hill softball team, Huemann has hopes to continue her athletic career after high school.

“I am undecided about where I would like to go to college but I would like to play either softball or volleyball for a year or two, then I would like to go into a radiology program and become a radiology technician,” Huemann said.
