As a freshman, he led Glenbrook North in scoring and assists. He was First Team All-State as a sophomore in 2004. Scheyer was the only non-senior among those First Team All-State selections, and was the only underclassmen on any of the first three All-State squads. He averaged 32 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 steals for the Spartans as a senior.
Scheyer came into national fame after scoring 21 points in 75 seconds of play during a regular season high school game.
He is the 4th-leading scorer in Illinois state history with 3,034 points, and is the only player in state history to finish his career ranked in the all-time top 10 in points, rebounds, steals, and assists.
Even though he played on the perimeter, Scheyer was double-teamed for his entire career. He was noted for his exceptional 3-point range shooting, and his performance in big games. Scheyer was a rangy, slick passer, and a good defensive rebounder.
