Adrian Stubbs isn’t on the radar for blue-blood hoops programs looking to land their next star, he’s not listed in the SportsCenter Next 100, and he’s not on the short list for not missing zero goals for the majors.
But this may change soon.
After making history for Maryvale High School (Arizona) last week, those odds may soon change for the 5-foot-10 guard.
Stubbs, a senior, needed only three quarters to score 100 points in a 109–25 win on January 13 at Yuma Kopa (Arizona).

Seventy out of 100 points came in the first half. Stubbs broke the previous state record of 75 points set by George McCormick from 1966.
“My mentality is always the same for every game and that is to hit and do whatever it takes to win,” Stubbs said. “In this one, the shots were falling more than usual and my teammates realized I was on pace to score 100 so they kept feeding me the ball.”
Since then, Stubbs’ life has changed.
“Yeah, it’s been pretty crazy, I never thought life would be like this,” Stubbs said. “Everything from more people following me, a lot of likes and a lot of people congratulating me.”
Stubbs also enjoys signing autographs, a practice he has considerable experience in.
“Ever since I was little, I just fantasized about signing autographs for people one day, so I was always practicing,” Stubbs said. “This is my first round of autographs, and it’s been great.”
Since the big game, Stubbs has gained over 3,000 followers on social media and even some former NBA stars have participated.
“Richard Jefferson left a comment,” Stubbs said. “It was really great to see.”
Still, now that he’s caught the attention of past pros, he’s looking to steal the attention of college coaches. Pepperdine, Calm, northern arizona And southern utah Has shown interest in stubs so far.
“It’s obviously a big accomplishment, but I just want to stay in the mindset of getting better,” Stubbs said. “I don’t necessarily want to top it or anything. I definitely want to continue to win and get interest from colleges for myself and my teammates.”
