Pratt High School has benefited from the athletic skills of Aubrey Hoover on volleyball and basketball courts. Next fall, she will head to McPherson College on a volleyball scholarship, where she plans to major in biochemistry with a goal of becoming a physician.
Hoover wasn’t initially sure she wanted to play either basketball or volleyball, said Dean Rausch, who coaches both at Pratt High. She found a love for the sports and has been an all-stater on both teams for two years. In the current year, she led the PHS volleyball team to a 35-3 season and the Central Kansas League championship.
“She’s a good student athlete, a good citizen athlete,” Rausch said. “I think very highly of her.”
Susan Barton, head volleyball coach at McPherson College, is excited to have Hoover as part of the team, as are McPherson teammates.
“I think she’ll fit really well,” Barton said. “The person she is is the biggest draw. Athletically, she’ll fit really well.
With new signees, next year’s volleyball team numbers about 19, from freshman through seniors. Class and experience don’t matter, and who plays is never personal — “the best kids play,” Barton noted.
