Luke has been a prospect who we’ve been high on for quite some time, but he makes an even bigger leap with how he’s been able to lead his team this season. Silver Creek sits at 9-2 on the season, and a big reason for that is their senior do-it-all combo guard. He’s up to 23.1 points on the season and has been a go-to guy that the teams feel comfortable with the ball in his hands. He lights it up from deep, shooting over 40% on high volume, he finishes well inside with his longer frame, and gets to where he wants on the floor. He’s used to seeing different looks that defenses give him and adapts in real time. He’s exploded with a 45-point game, has finished in double figures in every game, and has affected the game on both ends of the floor. He’s a riser who we will surely see more of as we enjoy this Silver Creek squad.

Luke Schmeeckle is making the absolute most out of his senior season, and it shows up most on the stat sheet. From averaging 15.7 points per game his junior year, to now a scorching hot 24.1 points per game, it’s scary how good Schmeeckle becomes when he’s in a flow state. Currently ranked as a top 10 shooting guard in his class, don’t be surprised if Schmeeckle continues to climb the ladder and establish himself to college coaches.

Schmeeckle is poised for a big season for Silver Creek after averaging 15.7 points per game as a junior. He plays with confidence and fearlessness, never shying away from big moments or tough matchups. Offensively he brings a complete inside out game, excelling in the mid range and stretching defenses with his shooting from deep. On the other end he sets the tone with tough, hard nosed defense, competing on every possession. With his scoring ability, edge and two way presence, Schmeeckle is ready to take another leap and be a major factor this season

Schmeeckle is a major piece for Silver Creek, bringing a blend of size, skill and nonstop effort that makes him hard to miss. He plays big and uses his frame well, finishing inside with strength while also stepping out to knock down shots from the perimeter. That inside out versatility keeps defenses guessing and opens up the floor for everyone around him. On defense his hustle and relentlessness stands out just as much as his offense. He’s active, physical and always willing to do the dirty work whether it’s contesting shots, fighting for rebounds, or getting his hands in passing lanes. With his combination of toughness, scoring, and effort Schmeeckle is poised to be a key contributor this season and rise in later rankings

Schmeeckle took a step forward after a strong junior season, and that is why he jumped in our rankings. He did most of his work on the interior, showing off a polished post-game and efficiency in transition. At 6’3, he plays bigger than his size as a forward/big and uses his strength to score through contact. Silver Creek ran through him his junior season, and he responded with 15.7 points and 4.4 boards a game. He refused to let guys throw it to him in the post as he showed quick hands and savvy defensive IQ, which got him to 2.2 steals a game. This year, defenders will key in on him, and I expect him to counter. Schmeeckle is a player to watch as he made the jump on our rankings.

Putting up fairly efficient numbers for a Silver Creek program formerly loaded with seniors, he is set for a big season at the only remaining rotation player from last year’s 20-5 run. A well rounded shotmaker who can score from all three levels, his offensive production within that team’s context is uncommon to say the least. Taking right around 10 shot attempts per game last season, he will be a name whose shot diet will take a significant uptick given these roster changes.

Following an impressive sophomore season, Schmeeckle has proven himself as one of the state’s best shotmakers from all three levels. Getting more comfortable creating space for shot attempts behind the arc, he could be among the most productive scorers in the class in the near future. This all follows an incredible season for Silver Creek, with their 20-5 record and a Sweet 16 appearance. As the only sophomore in the rotation last season, he holds pedigree, following averages of 12.9 points per game last season.
