Adrian Stubbs breaks Arizona high school single-game scoring record in Yuma
YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - Maryvale’s Adrian “Ace” Stubbs is not your ordinary hooper, he just shattered Arizona’s single-game scoring record, dropping 100 points in Yuma.
"It means everything. All the hard work and time I put into get to this point. It's a very surreal feeling. I kept hitting in the first quarter. I think I had around 35 points. And then my coach gave me the green light, so I just pressed go mode," said Adrian Stubbs.
The best part - Stubbs only played three quarters.
"I think I definitely could’ve got like 130, 125, for sure," expressed Stubbs.
And he wouldn’t have wanted to do it with anyone else by his side.
“I live and die for these guys. They're everything. The reason I come to school and the reason I come to practice, they lift me up even when I'm down. Give a shout out to Coach Smith, Coach Bell, Sean Walker, Coach Kenny as well. They they took their time out of the days... Just make me better. Help me develop. And I love them. Especially my mom," said Stubbs.
Maryvale’s head coach Jeremy Smith said he wants to shine light on the Maryvale community from Phoenix.
“Shout out to the Vale. Our community. We want to just bring positivity and light to our community. And we're doing that through sports and and the community we built here within our basketball team. And it's starting to spread. It's getting contagious,“ said Coach Jeremy Smith.
Time will tell how high Stubbs will ascend, but one thing is for sure, he cemented his name in Arizona history.
