Stubbs accounted for 91.7 percent of his team's total, the fourth-highest percentage ever by a player who scored 90 or more points according to MaxPreps historian and records guru Kevin Askeland. Walter Garrett of West End (Birmingham, Ala.) is the record-holder in that category after scoring all 97 of his team's points in a 1963 game.
The 5-foot-10 guard was the only Maryvale player to score in the first half of the game and added 30 more in the third quarter before watching the final eight minutes from the bench.
Stubbs has shown the ability to get buckets in bunches, averaging 23.9 points per game through the first 12 contests of the season with a 48-point performance in December.
As with last year's 102-point outing by Khatchikian, there will be questions about the merits of piling up points against an overmatched opponent.
Kofa (2-12) has lost by 20 points or more nine times this season, including six of its previous seven games prior to meeting Maryvale. The score may have been lopsided with or without an attempt to feed the ball to one player.
Stubbs did something that only 20 other players have done in the last 112 years. Very few of the other 100-point performances were achieved in competitive games. It was a historical performance and – good or bad – that is the scope of the recognition here.
