The 2023 fall sports season recently wrapped up with multiple athletes bringing home all-league honors and accolades.

Junior Kadance Heumann hit her 1,000-assist goal halfway through the volleyball season at the Campus Tournament, with help from junior Emily Howerton’s kill.

 “It felt great because I got to do it against one of my best friends,” Heumann said. “We even celebrated with a poster and balloons at our home game the following Tuesday.” 

Along with Heumann, Emily Howerton, and senior Reese Goetz achieved second-team all-league honors. Sophomore Addie Rockley was named honorable mention all-league for the Rockets. 

On the Girls Cross Country side, junior Kimberlin Lovell broke a record of her own. Krysten Lucent recently held the fastest 5K time, until Lovell came and broke the record at the Circle Invitational. 

“The record deserved to be broken and I’m glad I was the one to do it,” Lovell said. “I have the best teammates that encouraged me to do it and pushed me to break it. Coach Barger has been wanting me to break it since track and pushed me every day to break it.”

At the 4A state meet, Lovell placed 12th out of 100.

The Rocket Football took a tough season-ending loss to Wamego, but a few athletes walked away with all-league honors. 

Seniors Blake Struble and Kulton Richwine were named first team all-league.

“Getting first team all-league this year meant a lot to me since I didn’t get it last year,” Struble said. “I had a chip on my shoulder and I was going to do whatever it took to get into the first team. Knowing that all that work I put towards getting it finally paid off was a feeling I’ll never forget.”

The boys soccer team also had two Rockets take home all-league honors. 

Senior Scotty Carr was named first team all-state while junior Trey Bias was named second team All-State in Class 4A.

“It’s a great honor to get in my final year of high school soccer,” Carr said. “It symbolizes how much work I put in over the last four years and it was a good way to go out.”
