NICKERSON, Kan. — The USD 309 Board of Education approved the hiring of Terence Williams as the next head boys basketball coach at Nickerson High School during its regular meeting Monday evening.
Williams, a Dodge City High School graduate, brings a diverse background of playing and coaching experience. He played collegiately at Allen County Community College and Oklahoma Panhandle State University, then spent time overseas at the EuroProBasket International Academy in Spain before returning to the U.S. to begin his coaching and teaching career.
For the past five years, Williams has served as an assistant coach at Dodge City High School. He is also the founder of LV8Hoops, an AAU program focused on player development and mentoring youth through basketball.
“We hired Terence Williams because of his passion to develop student-athletes, as well as build a competitive and winning program,” said Devin Maxwell, who will take over as Nickerson’s athletic director at the end of the school year. “We think he will make great connections with the students and will be a great leader for our basketball program.”
Maxwell said Williams brings “a lot of knowledge, energy and passion to make everyone around him better.”
