By John RittenhouseHistory was made during Thursday’s boys’ basketball game between Lincoln HI and Ellsworth in Ellsworth.Cody Schilling, an EHS sophomore, became the school’s youngest athlete to reach the 1,000-point club during the course of a 91-59 victory over the Rebels.Schilling, who started playing varsity ball as an eighth-grader, needed 23 points to reach the milestone heading into Thursday’s game.After a 16-point effort in the first half, Schilling converted a field goal and three-point play in the first three minutes of the second half to move within two points of 1,000.When he was fouled during a shot at the 13:46 mark of the second half, Schilling calmly sank two free throws to join five former EHS boys and one girl as a 1,000-plus-point scorer.Cody’s older brother, Curt Schilling, netted his 1,000th-point in December of 2002. He later became the first EHS player to score more than 2,000 points as a senior in 2004.Brant Deutsch and Dylan Kvaale joined the 1,000-point club in 2003, three months after Jenna Groen became the first EHS girl to reach the milestone. Scott Heidebrink (Class of 1994) and Chad Boom (Class of 1987) are the other members of the fraternity.Along with making EHS history, Schilling helped a talented EHS team register its 12th straight win, a 31-point thumping of the Rebels.LH played with the Panthers for 10 minutes, but EHS turned the contest into a rout after that.Ellsworth never trailed in the game and led by as many as seven points early before LH trimmed the difference to three points (22-19). The Panthers countered with a 26-7 run that ended with Bryan Kramer sinking a free throw with less than two minutes remaining in the first half to give EHS a 48-26 advantage.LH trimmed the difference to 20 points (50-30) by halftime, but the Rebels were unable to challenge the Panthers in the second half as EHS outscored the visitors 41-29 to win handily.Along with scoring 27 points, Schilling led the Panthers with nine assists. Aaron Van Der Stoep, Kramer, Ben Herman and Wayne Jansma chipped in 20, 12, 11 and 10 points respectively to the winning effort. Weston DeBerg pulled down seven rebounds and Van Der Stoep notched four steals.Box scoreNolte 0 0 0-0 0, DeBerg 3 0 0-0 6, Deutsch 0 0 1-2 1, Kramer 5 0 2-3 12, Schilling 11 0 5-5 27, Matejske 0 0 0-0 0, Van Der Stoep 3 4 2-2 20, Herman 4 0 3-4 11, Klaassen 1 0 0-0 2, Chapa 2 0 0-0 4, Lindemann 0 0 0-0 0, Kix 0 0 0-0 0, Golombiecki 0 0 0-0 0, Jansma 5 0 0-0 10.Team statisticsEllsworth: 38 of 69 field goals (55 percent), 13 of 16 free throws (81 percent), 36 rebounds, 12 turnovers.LH: 20 of 48 field goals (42 percent), 12 of 18 free throws (67 percent), 13 rebounds, 14 turnovers.
