Theison Anderson has been hired as the next Head Volleyball Coach for the Kearney High Bearcats and fourth-grade teacher at Kenwood Elementary. Currently, Theison is the Men’s Head Volleyball Coach at Morningside College in Sioux City, Iowa. “Theison brings an intriguing balance of high school, club, and college-level coaching experience to the Kearney High School volleyball program,” stated Ryan Hogue, KHS Assistant Principal/Activities Director. Anderson is returning to Kearney as a 4th-grade teacher at Kenwood Elementary.

Previously he is a past teacher at Meadowlark Elementary (2017-2020), A UNK graduate assistant in college volleyball (2018-2020), and served as a substitute teacher and varsity volleyball coach in Ravenna (2015-2017). As a UNK graduate assistant, Anderson worked with legendary head coach Rick Squiers who led the Lopers to 20 NCAA Division II National Tournament appearances, three of which ended in the Elite Eight. “I am incredibly honored to be selected to lead the Bearcat volleyball program. I am excited for the opportunity to return to my roots in Kearney,” said Anderson. “In a community that is already so supportive of volleyball, I will look to continue to grow youth interest and expand opportunities for the current athletes as well as the future Kearney High athletes. To be able to step in and lead a well-established and highly skilled program like Kearney is something I am beyond grateful for!”

“One of the areas that sold us on Theison was his four years of experience as a practice player and graduate assistant under one of the most successful Division II coaches in the country, Coach Rick Squiers,” said Hogue. “You cannot duplicate what he gained from that time at UNK and also his experience as a Head College Men’s Coach at Morningside College this past year.”
