Chi-Hi grad Reuter was named Great Midwest Athletic Conference Freshman of the Year

Reuter is the second Charger to earn the honor after staying alive in the last half of the season. The freshman has finished in double figures for 10 of Hillsdale's last 14 games, including a pair of 20-pointers. During that stretch, the Chi-Hi grade averaged 10.4 points per game, the third-highest total on the team.

For the season, the 6-foot-4 Reuter averaged 7.4 points per game while shooting 54 percent from the field, including a 41.4 percent effort from 3-point range.

Hillsdale has a 22-7 overall record, including a 15-5 league record, good for second behind Walsh (16-4). The Chargers faced the University of Missouri-St. Louis in the third round of the NCAA Division II men's basketball tournament on Monday night.

Rogers-Schmidt helps immediately

Another Chi-Hi graduate is making an impact with a young men's basketball team, as Peyton Rogers-Schmidt carved out a role with Emporia State.

Rogers-Schmidt averaged 3.2 points per game this season for the Hornets in 29 games, including 15 starts. The freshman scored 14 points and grabbed four rebounds with two shutouts off the bench against Arkansas Tech on Nov. 14. Rogers-Schmidt also scored 11 points against Tabor on Nov. 24 and Newman on Dec. 8 and had a season-high 4.2 rebounds per game.

The 6-foot-7 Chi-Hi grad shot 49.3 percent from the field for the season and blocked 26 shots.

Rogers-Schmidt transferred to Emporia State after playing at Ranger College in Ranger, Texas, last season where he played in 26 total games, including 14 starts.

The Hornets finished the season with a 21-9 overall record, including a 15-7 effort in the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletic Association conference rankings to finish fifth.

Robarge effective from the field

Chi-Hi graduate Tyler Robarge has emerged as a reliable presence off the bench in his second season with the Michigan Tech men's basketball team.

Robarge averaged more than three points per game while averaging nearly 10 minutes per game for the Huskies. The sophomore scored 16 points off the bench to go with six rebounds in Michigan Tech's 122-52 win over Finland on Dec. 15. He also scored 12 points while shooting 6-for-8 from the field in 20 minutes during an 89-48 win over Northwood on Jan. 27.

For the season, Robarge shot 57.4 percent from the field in 22 games played and averaged 2.7 rebounds per game.

Michigan Tech finished the season with a 21-7 overall record with a 16-4 record in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference standings to finish tied with Ferris State for the regular season championship.

Robarge starts three games for UW-RF

Chi-Hi graduate Thomas Robarge appeared in 20 games during his senior season with the UW-River Falls men's basketball team.

Robarge started the UW-River Falls game on Feb. 12 against UW-Platteville and scored three points twice — in games against Saint John's (Minn.) on Nov. 5 and UW-Eau Claire on Feb. 18. In all, Robarge has played 97 minutes for the Falcons this season.

UW-River Falls finished the season with a 14-10 overall record and 6-7 in Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference play to take sixth place in the league standings.

Jacob Walczak and Cory Hoglund saw action this winter with the UW-Stout men's basketball team.

Walczak played in eight games and Hoglund saw action in six games for the Blue Devils. Freshman Walczak scored 10 points in eight minutes in Stout's 107-64 win over Northland College on Nov. 10 and also scored nine points against Finlandia in a 108-75 win on Dec. 21.

Hoglund grabbed two rebounds in the win over Finland.

The Blue Devils finished the season with a 16-9 overall record and a 7-6 record in WIAC competition to tie UW-Whitewater for fourth place.

Gabe and Mason Madsen found roles off the bench for their respective men's basketball teams.

Gabe averaged 6.7 points per game in 25 games at the University of Utah. The 6-foot-1 sophomore scored 20 points in 23 minutes during a 79-67 loss at Southern California on Jan. 22. Gabe started the final 10 games of the season after that performance for the Utes and scored at least 11 points in five of his 10 starts. For the season, Gabe shot 39.2 percent from the field, including a 40.5 percent effort from 3-point range. Utah finished with an 11-20 record and was 11th in the Pac-12 standings.
