<span style="font-weight: 400">Hutchinson 2020 post <a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/mekenzie-hefley/">Mekenzie Hefley</a> has helped the Lady Salthawks open the 2019-20 season 3-1 as the program has rebounded from a tough season a year ago.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400">At 6’0, Hefley brings a motor that is always running as she brings energy and leadership to the court. After going 7-13 overall last year, Hefley has helped the team post wins over Arkansas City, Campus and Great Bend.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400">“The team last year did not do the best we could do, but we kept our heads up,” Hefley says. “I feel like I did my part. I got the highest field goal percentage out of my team. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400">“The team right now is 3-1 as we head into Christmas break. I believe my performance is going good. I have some things I need to work on to make my performance better. As far as matchups go, I am looking forward to Maize and that is who we play when we come back from break.”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Hefley says the biggest influence on her basketball career to date has been her mom.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400">“She is the main one that continues to push me to achieve my goals,” Hefley says. “She helps me stay positive when things get bad during season, and I want to make her proud.”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Hefley committed to play at Sterling College over several programs, including Barton Community College, Kansas Wesleyan University and Ottawa University. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400">“I really love how well the girls get along, and I love how Sterling College focus their faith,” Hefley said. “I want to bring a positive attitude and great effort to the program.”</span>
