Hutchinson’s Terrell King – Athlete Spotlight – Presented by The Medicine Shoppe

By Matt Browning


Terrell King thinks the Hutchinson boy’s basketball team has something special on the horizon.


“I’m most excited about this team because we have great chemistry and just a good relationship with everyone,” King said.


With King being an all-state football player, it is has been difficult for him to get prepared for the upcoming season.


“I’ve been working out and getting in the gym and getting shots up with the team as much as possible,” King said.


King was a solid scorer for the Salt Hawks last season, averaging almost 16 points per game, while also shooting 37 percent from behind the three-point line.


“I want to improve my ability to shoot the ball better so that it’s harder to guard me,” King said. “I’ve been getting a lot of shots during the off season.”

Now a senior, King recognizes he has responsibilities that he hasn’t had to deal with or embrace over his previous three seasons. He thinks if he can get better at this, then Hutchinson will be better for it.


“I want to be a better leader and captain of this team,” King said. “And to win as many games as possible.”
