Florence senior point guard Maggie Schneiter surpassed 1000 points for her high school basketball career at the Class B State Tournament in Bozeman on Friday, March 14, during Florence’s game against Baker.
“I am super proud of Maggie hitting her 1000 points during the Baker game,” said Florence head basketball coach Shane Meinhold. “She’s a phenomenal three-sport athlete at Florence and well deserving of hitting that mark.”
Schneiter has been a starter on the basketball team since her freshman season in 2022-2023. She was named First-Team All Conference as a freshman, Second-Team All-Conference as a sophomore, All-State and First-Team All-Conference as a junior, and All-State and First-Team All-Conference this season as a senior.
“I’ve coached Maggie since the 3rd grade, minus her freshman year of high school, so we’ve had a long journey together as a player and coach on the basketball floor,” said Meinhold. “She’s always been one of my point guards and decision makers on my team. Maggie takes more pride in making a great assist as she does hitting a shot which is a great quality to have in a point guard.”
“Maggie had no idea she was even close to her 1000 points when I let her know a couple months ago it could happen around the state tournament,” continued Meinhold. “So it was definitely a special moment the team and her family got to share together with her after the Baker game.”
