EUGENE, Ore.  – Junior Stevie Schlabach continued what has been an incredible career with the Beacons during the 2022-2023 season as he broke records, and moved up the list of all-time greats in Beacon men's basketball history.  
 
On December 31st, Schlabach became Bushnell's NAIA-Era scoring leader, scoring 22 points in a road victory against Northwest University to pass Austin Kuemper with his 1,309th point. Since joining the NAIA in 2006, eight players have broken the 1000-point plateau, Schlabach and Kuemper are the only two, however, to score more than 1100.
 
Schlabach wasn't anywhere near done, however. One month later, on January 27, the Beacons were once again facing Northwest University when Schlabach would become Bushnell's all-time leader for field goals made. He secured the record-breaking field goal during a big second half run with the 536th basket of his career, surpassing Hall of Famer Mitch Naylor for the record. 
 
One night later, in a massive 111-61 blowout of Evergreen, it was another milestone game for Schlabach. He went 10-for-11 from the field, scored 21 points, and moved past Naylor into third-place on Bushnell's career scoring list.  
 
The mid-range shooting specialist has averaged 16.4 points per game during his career and went on to finish out the year with 1,556 points, putting him within striking distance of a 2000-point career when his senior season commences this fall.
 
Bushnell's all-time leading scorer is Hall of Famer Mat Sand with 2,296 points. Jon Willis, also a member of the Bushnell Athletics Hall of Fame, sits in second with 2,064.
