WICHITA, Kan. — Hutchinson High School graduate, Caleb Walker, will once again compete in The Basketball Tournament this weekend for the AfterShocks.

Walker graduated from Hutch High in 2008 before going on to play two seasons at Butler Community College in El Dorado and then his final two seasons at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln. 

Walker moved to Hutchinson when he was 13 after growing up in Kansas City. He won four consecutive state titles as a linebacker on the Salthawks' football team during it's dynasty. He averaged over 19 points and nearly 10 rebounds per game as a senior for the Salthawk basketball team.
