9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'> Strothers competes
at a very high level and some may say -- beyond her years. The sophomore is one
of the top 2016 rising prospects in state of Virginia as she has already
verbally committed to Hampton University.
When
asked what's been the secret to your success, Adria simply
stated "consistently seeking to better my skills and overall game by working
out as often as possible".
Shooting
the rock comes natural as her father, Lamont Strothers
(former CNU star and NBA player) was a lights-out shooter known to tickle the
twine from downtown.
At the present, Adria leads the
Lady Raiders and the former Peninsula District (PD) in scoring this season at
22.8ppg - on track to reach 1000 points by the end of her junior season. She's a
dynamic offensive player who possesses phenomenal range, an ultra-smooth stroke
and the handles to get by her defenders.
font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>Strothers
style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'> has been a key
contributor to Warwick High's success thus far.
The 5A #10 Lady Raiders were sitting atop of the former PD at (10-0) and
Conference 10 at (2-0) entering the second week of January.
