Before even reaching his senior year, Missouri basketball Scottie Adkinson has cemented himself in the history books of Webster Groves High School, becoming the program's all-time leading scorer in a win over Eureka on Friday.

In the win, Adkinson surpassed 1,838 points to claim the title. The record was previously held by Courtney Ramey, who earned third-team All-Big 12 honors in 2021 while playing for Texas.

The combo guard was an early commit for the Tigers' 2027 recruiting class, still standing as the sole commit in the class. He also held offers from Illinois, Iowa and Louisville, amongst others. A four-star prospect, Adkinson is the 39th best prospect in the class, according to 247 Sports' composite rankings.

Mizzou Quote of the Day:

"The way Coach [Norm] Stewart handled his cancer shows what a tough person he is," Booker says. "He really bounced back, and that's pretty much what we try to do on the court. We try to do what he did, just keep fighting.”
Melvin Booker
