Chadron State College Athletics

Niemann and Scott Blachly were classmates who were a formidable duo for the Chadron State basketball teams. Niemann finished his career in 1987-88 with 1,490 points, ninth best on the all-time list. He averaged 16.5 points as a sophomore, 15.0 as a junior and 24.8 points as a senior. The latter average was the best among Nebraska collegiate players that season and is the highest in CSC history.
Niemann made 61.7 percent (246 of 399) of his field goal shots his senior season for a school record that stood 15 years. Although just a shade taller than 6-foot-4, he also averaged 7.7 rebounds his final year season. He was an NAIA District 11 first-team choice in both 1986-87 and 1987-88. A graduate of Hot Springs, S.D., High School, Niemann is a certified public accountant and is CEO of Privacy Networks, which provides e-mail support services to large companies. He lives in Fort Collins, Colo.
