article Covington Catholic Record Book - Recent Changes

Covington Catholic's record book has seen a few notable changes since head coach Scott Ruthsatz took over the school's basketball program in the 2011/12 season - most notably due to the presence of players Cole VonHandorf and Nick Ruthsatz. Not only are they the #1 and #2 scorers, respectively, in the school's 1,000 Point Club, but the two of them also combine for possession of nine of the Colonels Basketball Program's thirty-one total individual records. That should come as little surprise if you take into consideration the fact that Nick and Cole were both absolutely integral in leading Cov Cath to their 2014 basketball state championship.

It's also worth noting that Bo Schuh (2012-15) is yet another member of the 2014 state championship team to make his way into the Covington Catholic 1,000 Point Club, with his 1,089 career points.

This season, Cov Cath has found their place among the top 5 boys basketball teams in the state for the majority of the season. Once again, rising out of that success, there are two new members to the school's 1,000 point club: Iowa Hawkeyes commit CJ Fredrick, and Christian Brothers commit Aiden Ruthsatz.

An addition to those two making the millenium mark, once again, Covington Catholic has basketball records looking to be broken:

Single-Season records on pace to be broken:

Career records in jeopardy:

Surprised to see the 3 point record is 25 years old.

CJ Fredrick:

Season: 749 pts (763 is record) – 14 points away

93 made 3’s (former record was 89)

21.5 ppg (current record is 25.4) – Not going to get there.

267 made FGs (current record 285) – 18 FGs away

Career: 1500 pts (currently 5th) – projecting to finish 4th, 3rd is out of reach

17.2 ppg (current record is 19.8) – Not going to get there. Will finish 3rd.

Ruthsatz:

Season: .902 FT% (111-123) – record is currently 88.5% - Has to miss 3 straight to dip below

Career: .856 FT% (244-285) – record is currently 84.0% - Has to miss 6 straight to dip below

Walter:

Season: .728 FG% (179-246) – record is currently 62.9% - This record is his.

Career: .654 FG% (298-456) – record is currently 61.1% - So is this one.

A couple items of note:

· This will be the team/class with the most individual records in the Covington Catholic basketball record book. Most of those are not cumulative (i.e. aided by playing more games than other teams/players in years past)

· This team has the potential to finish with more wins than any Covington Catholic senior class – currently at 117 (121 is the record. State finals appearance will break it.)

Correction: CJ is averaging 22.9.

His stats shows that he is the most efficiency player in school history.
