Houston Boys Score Big, Schutte Tops 1,000

Making the fastest push to 1,000 was Houston 6’5” senior F Mikkel Schutte.  The Hurricanes/Schutte have been scoring big (and sometimes giving up big scores).  Each happened amidst a three-game week.  The ‘Canes first overwhelmed Alden-Conger 86-51.  Schutte put up a career-high (42 pts, 5-11 threes, 17-28 FGs, 9 rebs, 5 asts, 5 blks) to lead the way.  Alex Van Gundy (22 pts, 6 rebs, 4 asts) and Caiden Danielson (17 pts) helped.  The trio accounted for 81 points.   Houston then posted its third 90-point game in a 92-61 win over K-W.  Schutte needed 28 to get to 1,000.  Doing work at the free throw line, he got there (29 pts, 16-18 FTs, 12 rebs, 6 ats, 5 blks).  Van Gundy (23 pts, 5-7 threes, 4-5 FTs, 7-11 FGs, 8 rebs), Danielson (15 pts), and Jaden Abraham (12 pts) gave Houston four in double figures.   It was the seventh time Schutte and AVG each hit for 20-plus.  The week ended with an 86-73 loss to Randolph in a sizeable SEC battle.  Schutte (24 pts, 4-7 threes, 13 rebs, 7 asts, 4 blks), Danielson (22 pts, 4-10 threes), and Van Gundy (19 pts, 3-8 threes, 10 rebs) were again Houston’s three-headed attack.  They scored all but eight Hurricane points.  Schutte joined Andy Sires (1,673), David Goede (1,450), Pierce Edmiston (1,207), Austin Peplinski (1,051), James Hongerholt (1,050), Brian Edmiston (1,017) and teammate Alex Van Gundy in the Houston boy’s 1,000-point club.  Mikkel averages just shy of 22.0 PPG.  Trent Vix’s group is 7-3, 11-8.
