GET’s Cody Schmitz makes his season debut Tuesday

Schmitz, who averaged 30.2 points a game and has 987 points over two seasons, leads the Red Hawks into a freshman season with a non-conference game in Sparta.

Schmitz made seven 3-pointers and scored a career-high 61 points while grabbing 14 rebounds in an 82-67 win over the Spartans last season.

GET brings back nearly every player from the 11-14 team from last season, and senior guard Will Mack (9.1 ppg) leads a group that will be more experienced around Schmitz. The addition of new guard Mason Brone is also expected to give the Red Hawks a huge boost in the Coulee Conference.

Schmitz earned high honorable mention for the AP All-State teams last season and scored at least 40 points four times to grab 15 double-doubles.

LOGAN GIRLS READY TO GET STARTED: Senior Jazzy Davis averaged 14.3 points and 11.2 rebounds for Logan last season. The Rangers open their season with a home game Tuesday against Prairie du Chien.

Davis has been an impact player for the Rangers since she was a freshman and has 634 points and 504 rebounds after three seasons.

The Blair-Taylor girls hit the ground running: Blair Taylor (2-0), who is 64-12 since the current top-tier joined the university as a freshman, hosts GET after starting the season with a pair of wins.

Senior Abby Thompson averages 23 points. 7.5 steals and 5.0 rebounds per game so far, senior Lindsey Stein adds 22.5 points, 6.5 steals and 7.0 rebounds.
