He also ranks second in school history with 248 made three pointers and a 42.5 percent (248-of-583) shooting clip from long range.

Hyde was also named the 2010 GLIAC Tournament MVP during his junior season after setting new league records for most points in a series (84), most three pointers in a series (15) and highest free throw percentage in a series (100% - 23-of-23).
