RICHARDSON, Texas (June 17, 2022) - The annual Lone Star Conference Scholar-Athlete Award winners were announced, with each LSC member school recognized with a male and female recipient. Lubbock Christian University's recipients were Parker Hicks (men's basketball) and Allie Schulte (women's basketball).
 
These student-athletes are selected as representatives of the outstanding accomplishments in athletics, scholarship and leadership that are displayed on each LSC campus during the year. To be eligible for consideration, student-athletes must have participated at least two years in their sport and be a member of the graduating class.
 
Hicks closed out an LCU career full of on-and-off the court honors. He became the university's 24^th CoSIDA Academic All-America honoree (also claimed CoSIDA All-District Team honors) and LCU's first two-time NABC All-America Team selection. Additional accolades included D2CCA All-America Team, D2CCA South Central Region Player of the Year, Lone Star Conference Player of the Year (winning the award for the second straight season) and TABC Small College Player of the Year credits. Six times during the year, he was named the LSC Defensive Player of the Week, and he earned one Offensive Player of the Week award as well. This season, the Decatur, Texas native led the Chaparrals in scoring and rebounding with 19.3 points and 8.8 rebounds per game. Hicks shot 55.7 percent from the field to lead the conference in that category, including 43.0 percent from behind the arc. He played in all 31 LCU games, averaging 35.1 minutes per contest. An 85.2 percent shooter at the free throw line, Hicks also contributed 33 steals and 27 blocks during the season. He scored in double-figures in every game of the season and collected 14 double-doubles. On February 8, Hicks set a new Lubbock Christian program record when he scored 50 points in a single game against Texas A&M International. In total, he scored 597 points during the 2021-22 season, which is the third most in a single season by a Chaparral player in school history. 

Schulte was a unanimous All-America selection this season, claiming the recognition from D2CCA, WBCA and World Exposure Report. The Nazareth, Texas native is a three-time All-Lone Star Conference selection, and off the court she was recognized with three All-Academic selections in the LSC and with a pair of CoSIDA Academic All-District accolades. Schulte closed out a collegiate career leading LCU all-time in games played with 155. She scored 1,587 points in her LCU career and leaves as their all-time leader in three-point shooting percentage (.444, 176/396), while also ranking second in steals (320) and fourth in field goal percentage (.522, 569/1091) and assists (421). In LCU's NCAA era, she was part of two NCAA National Titles and is their all-time scoring leader in NCAA postseason play with 205 points.
  
It marks the third consecutive season LCU's recipients included a member of women's basketball and Hicks marks LCU's first recipient representing the men's basketball program.
