Arizona Senior Scores 100 Points in Three Quarters

Adrian Stubbs wasn't on any recruiter's list two weeks ago, but after scoring 100 points in three quarters, the phone is finally ringing.

The Maryvale High School senior broke Arizona's single-game scoring record on January 13, needing just three quarters to hit triple digits in a 109-25 victory over Yuma Kofa. He scored 70 points in the first half alone, crushing the previous state record of 75 points that had stood since 1966.

"My mindset is always the same for every game and that's to kill and do whatever to win," Stubbs said. "In this one, shots were falling more than usual and my teammates realized I was on pace to get the 100 so they kept feeding me the ball."

The performance changed everything overnight. Stubbs gained over 3,000 social media followers in days, with even former NBA star Richard Jefferson leaving congratulatory comments. He's been signing autographs, something he used to practice as a kid dreaming of this moment.

"Ever since I was younger, I just imagined signing autographs for people one day, so I always practiced," Stubbs said. "These have been my first round of autographs, and it's been pretty cool."

The Ripple Effect

Stubbs' historic night is opening doors for more than just himself. Pepperdine, Pacific, Northern Arizona, and Southern Utah have all reached out with interest. His focus on team success over individual glory is attracting coaches who value character alongside talent.

The 5-foot-10 guard knows the record is just the beginning. He's staying focused on improvement and helping his teammates earn their own college opportunities. His humble approach to sudden fame shows maturity beyond his years.

"It's obviously a great accomplishment, but I just want to stay in a mindset of getting better," Stubbs said. "I definitely want to keep winning and picking up interest from colleges for myself and my teammates."

Sometimes the best players aren't the ones everyone's watching, they're the ones too busy working to notice the cameras aren't there yet.
