Origins and Honors
Geoff Scheetz completed his fourth year of Forester basketball at HU this season. Geoff came to Huntington University from Plymouth High School (Plymouth, IN), where he played on the same team as Kyle Benge.
As noted by Head Coach Ty Platt, "Geoff is a very good outside shooter and has the ability to score quickly." Platt adds that Scheetz is not only a gifted player, but "an intelligent person and player" who responds when called upon, contributing to the team effort all four years.
At Plymouth High School, Scheetz started every game, averaging over 13 points a game and making 98 three-pointers in his senior year. In fact, he set a State Finals record by making five of his first six three-point shots in the championship game.
While at Huntington, Geoff has received recognition for his academic achievements, as well as his contribution on the court.
Last April, Scheetz was inducted into the Chi Alpha Sigma national honor society, an organization established to recognize those college student-athletes who earn a varsity letter while maintaining a 3.5 cumulative grade point average or better.
Geoff was also one of a select few inducted into the Omega Psi chapter of Kappa Delta Pi last spring. Kappa Delta Pi is an international honor society that recognizes outstanding achievement of education majors.
His dual accomplishments have also been recognized at the national level. Geoff is a two-time NAIA All-America Scholar-Athlete.
On the Basketball Court
Geoff has always been a crowd-pleaser on the court, with Forester fans looking forward to his quick and accurate shots from beyond the arc. Geoff could enter a game and quickly give the Foresters a boost with his outside shooting skills.
One such event occurred in the Shawnee State game this past season, where Geoff hit two consecutive three-point shots in the first half to ignite a 23-point Forester run.
