One of the main reasons football player Kade Smith loves Hutchinson Community College is the support the students and staff provide.
But it’s also nice how good the athletics and academics are, too.
“There’s a multitude of people on and off campus who are so loving and willing to support,” Smith said. “Athletically HCC simply dominates in almost every sport. And academically it is cheaper than most options and has a great education system with many opportunities.”
Smith’s faith is very important to him, so being able to share that with other students at HCC has been memorable.
“Some of my favorite memories so far are being able to lead some of my teammates to following Jesus,” Smith said. “For me my time at HCC is so much more than just school and football but rather a platform to proclaim the name of Jesus.”
There are several reasons why Smith would recommend Hutchinson Community College to any student or student athlete that would be interested in being a Blue Dragon.
“I would recommend HCC because of its community, affordability, and it’s not only dominance in all sports but also its care for all sports that the school provides,” Smith said.
Smith, who went to Hutchinson High School, rushed the ball 43 times this past season for 159 yards and five touchdowns.
