LCC alum hits 2,000 mark in basketball career

Posted

Noah Schutte, a 2020 graduate of Laurel-Concord-Coleridge High School, became the third player in Concordia University, Nebraska - Men's Basketball to reach 2,000 career points. 

Schutte hit that milestone as part of Saturday, Dec. 14's 103-79 win at Waldorf. 

The collegiate career of All-American Noah Schutte reached another level of accomplishment on in Forest City, Iowa. Schutte became the third player in Concordia University, Nebraska Men’s Basketball history to reach the 2,000-point plateau.

The milestone bucket for Schutte occurred at the 11:19 mark of the second half when he scored in the paint on a short turnaround jumper. With the game well in hand, Schutte exited the floor at the next dead ball and was met with hugs by his teammates. Schutte joins a Concordia 2,000-point club that includes just two other players: Jon Ziegler (2,099) and Tom Raabe (2,016). The Laurel native, Schutte made all five of his field goal attempts on a Saturday that saw the Bulldogs shoot a smoldering 60 percent (39-for-65) from the floor.

Schutte will surely go down as one of the top players in program history by the time he closes out his fifth and final season as a Bulldog. Said Limback, “It’s incredible. Some of us would love to score 1,000 points. He’s an incredibly gifted scorer – at the rim, from three, mid-range and getting to the line. He has a knack for scoring and always has. It’s fun to see these milestones, but he’s all about the win.”

Schutte is the son of John and Stacie Schutte.
