VICTORIA - 12 years before Leo Schmeidler was born, Darren Windholz signed to play basketball at Dodge City Community College and graduated from Victoria High School. It was 1993.
Fast forward 30 years and Victoria High School senior Leo Schmeidler became the first Knight since then to sign a National Letter of Intent to play collegiate basketball.
The 6'4" point guard averaged 11 points and 3 assists per game this past season. He made 49 three pointers which was top for the team and second in the Central Prairie League.
Schmeidler was Victoria's Co-Defensive Player of the Year.
Longtime basketball coach, but first year Knight head man, Rick Keltner says that "Leo gave us great leadership and was voted most inspirational player by his teammates. He has a great attitude, is an athletic point guard who can dunk and uses his wing span and has a great upside as he continues to get stronger. We are excited to follow the fine basketball program at a quality school like Manhattan Christian."
