North Dakota State College of Science (NDSCS) Men’s Basketball Coach Scott Schumacher announced today that Breckenridge High School guard Bryan Jacklitch has signed a letter of intent to attend NDSCS in the fall.
Jacklitch, a senior guard for the Cowboys, averaged 15.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 3.0 steals per game. He also shot 47% from the field, including 42% from three. He is expected to add a much-needed shooting touch to the Wildcat backcourt.
Jacklitch’s high school coach Dean Haugo is excited for his former player. “I am happy for Bryan and NDSCS, it will be a good fit for Bryan with the style of basketball that NDSCS plays,” he said.
Jacklitch is also a key member of his school’s baseball and football teams. He plays shortstop on his baseball team and played defensive back and punter on the football team.
Schumacher is looking forward to adding the Breckenridge guard to his roster, saying, “We are very excited to be welcoming Bryan to the Wildcat Basketball family. When you can hit ten threes in a game like Bryan did this year, there is an opportunity for you to play basketball on the college level.”
NDSCS is a two-year, comprehensive, residential college with its main campus located in Wahpeton, N.D., and a second site, referred to as the Skills and Technology Training Center, located in Fargo, N.D. NDSCS offers degrees, certificates, and diplomas in over 80 academic options in traditional career and technical studies as well as the liberal arts. The college also offers a variety of Distance Education courses. Approximately 95% of graduates from its technical programs find jobs in their chosen fields.
Unlike most two-year colleges, NDSCS boasts a university atmosphere for its students, complete with residence halls, 35 affiliated clubs and organizations, music groups, theater productions, intercollegiate athletics, intramural athletics, and numerous social activities.
