It’s been a difficult season for Northwood as the Evergreens have lost 13 of 17 outings thus far. But Schultz has been a bright spot for coach Jackson Terry’s squad as he is averaging 28.9 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists. The 6-foot-2 guard has been a strong performer in each of the past four seasons at Northwood as he currently sits at 1,712 career points. He went for 47 points in a 61-56 win over Bruce in early January, making 16-of-18 shots from the field, 12-of-15 from the line and three-of-four from the line. Also a star football player, Schultz announced recently he plans to continue his grid career next fall at UW-River Falls.

One of the top returning scorers in the state, Schultz put up eye-popping numbers a year ago by averaging 25.6 points per game for Northwood, which finished 9-16. He scored 30 or more points eight times, including a career-best 44 in a road victory over Lac Courte Oreilles. A three-year starters and returning first-team all-Lakeland West Conference player, Schultz has scored 1,250 career points. He is one of four returning starters for Northwood along with senior Cole Neva and juniors Ian Woodhull and Jaxson Link. New coach Jackson Terry calls Schultz the best player in the 10-team league and it’s hard to argue that contention after examining Schultz’s impressive productivity.
