Gallatin sets Class A 3-point shooting records
TWO OF the most valuable arms in the Metro area are hurting. It’s a stifling mid-June afternoon and Coriahnn Gallatin, the sharpshooting point guard at Millard North High School, is slowly walking off the hardwood floor.
Gallatin had just finished-up a one-hour summer workout focusing on ball-handling and shooting. It’s a 60-minute torture test, whereby 40 of those minutes are spent getting-up somewhere between 500 to 1,000 shots (with over half of them being 3-pointers).
“Everyday I like to get-up a ton of catch-and-shoot shots and off-the-dribble shots,” Gallatin said. “Sometimes my forearms and shoulders can get tired and sore if I put-up more than 1,000 shots.”
It’s a specific shooting routine that has proved to be quite beneficial (as well as sometimes painful) for Gallatin over the years.
“For my shooting routine, I also focus on my hand placement on the ball,” Gallatin said. “I make sure my elbows are both in and my release point is at my forehead. I also make sure I try to pop my feet and jump the same each time I shoot. This helps me be as consistent as possible.”
Not only has his attention to detail helped Gallatin build consistency and confidence in his shooting abilities, but it’s turned him into one of the top 3-point shooters in the history of high school basketball in Nebraska.
Prior to his senior season, the 18-year-old Gallatin already held the Class A record for most 3-pointers made in a single season. It was a feat Gallatin achieved when he made 97 three-balls his freshman season at Fremont high School (in 2023).
Additionally, the 5-foot-11 Gallatin is tied with Alvin Mitchell (Omaha Burke-1994) and Jacob Webber (Kearney-2025) for the most 3-pointers made in a Class A game with 10 (also set while playing for Fremont in 2023).
Earlier this season (Dec. 12, 2025, to be exact), Gallatin added to his list of state records when he hit four 3-pointers during a 66-57 win over Pembroke Hill (MO)-during a tournament in Kansas City-to set a new Class A record for the most 3-pointers made in a career.
After that game Gallatin’s total for 3-pointers made in a career stood at 258, which put him two above Papillion-LaVista South High School graduate Bryson Bahl’s previous record of 256. Gallatin said he’s proud to be the new Class A career record-holder.
“It feels pretty good knowing that the hard work I’ve put in has paid off,” Gallatin said. “I give all glory to God for allowing me to be healthy and compete every year of my career so far. I hope to keep extending the number of three’s and push the record even larger.” Story by Jack Denker/Sports Plus
