Stepping into a new role, senior Addison Chapman is looking to help the McPherson Bullpups make it back to state.
After losing their two-year starting setter, the Bullpups need Chapman, who is usually an outside hitter, to step into that position and help lead the team. As a result, she put in a lot of work in the offseason to get ready.
“One area I want to improve on this year is my setting,” Chapman said. “We have had volleyball tutoring in the summer, tournaments and morning weights and conditioning.
With her new role on the team, Chapman has the goal to continue to work on her leadership since being a setter is a vocally demanding role. She also has big goals for her team, as well.
“We have a very talented group of girls, and our chemistry on and off the court is our biggest weapon,” Chapman said. “Our goal for the team is to keep our communication up and connect with our hitters by mixing up the sets and playing fast.
In 2023, Chapman earned second team all-league honors and hopes to obtain that again or even surpass it.
Though Chapman has many accolades and accomplishments on the volleyball court, she is planning to attend Butler Community College to play softball as well as majoring in Nursing.
