If you missed seeing Ariel Stephenson play basketball for Prince George High School, you’ll have a chance to spot her in upcoming seasons at Wake Forest University.
The 5-foot-11 guard finished her high school career as the eighth leading scorer in what was the former Virginia Group AAA, and as the No. 2 all-time scorer in the Richmond-Petersburg area.
Stephenson, the daughter of Adriene Stephenson and the late Juan P. Stephenson, finished four varsity seasons with 2,307 points. The All-State pick has signed a full scholarship offer to continue playing basketball for the Demon Deacons in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
Virginia’s all-time scorer is La’Keisha Frett, who had 3,290 points at Phoebus-Hampton between 1989 and 1993.
Remaining the top all-time scorer in what was the old Central Region (Richmond-Petersburg area) is Chantel Adkins.
Playing for her mother, Jean Adkins, at Henrico High School, Chantel had 2,320 points in a career ending in 1991. Chantel Adkins went on to star at Temple University in Philadelphia.
