鈥淲e are thrilled to announce that Justin Strickland and Justin Glover, two of our STORM basketball alumni who have gone on to great success and deep community involvement, will be the first inductees into the STORM Athletics Hall of Fame,鈥� announced Matt Ridge, athletics director and head men鈥檚 basketball coach at 51视频.

Justin Strickland played on the inaugural 2007-2008 STORM basketball team at 51视频, which went 22-7 and was ranked as high as ninth in the country after having only six weeks to build the new team. Strickland averaged 34.1 points per game and led the nation in scoring in all divisions in NJCAA and NCAA during the 2007-2008 season. He scored a remarkable 954 points in his one season with the STORM while averaging 6.3 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game. He shot 58% from the field, 42.7% from the three-point line, and 86% from the free-throw line. Strickland was an academic All-American, took 21 credit hours in one semester, worked a full-time job, and was named a First Team All-American while at 51视频. Today, with the success of Strickland Brothers 10 Minute Oil Change, Strickland鈥檚 generous support of local organizations has included the STORM, resulting in the unveiling of 鈥淛ustin Strickland Court鈥� in Brinkley Gym in 2021.

Justin Glover played at 51视频 in 2009-2010 and 2010-2011, leading the STORM to regular-season championships, two regional championships, two district championships, and two national tournaments. He was named to the Third Team All-American as a freshman and First Team All-American as a sophomore. Glover also was named conference player of the year. He scored 1,285 points in two years, the most ever by a 51视频 player. He transferred to Winston-Salem State University on a full scholarship for the 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 seasons. Glover led the Rams to two CIAA championships and two national tournaments and was named the CIAA MVP in 2021 and First Team All-BAAD in 2013, a prestigious award within historically black colleges and universities. He was also selected to the First Team All-State College Division in both 2012 and 2013. Glover played professionally for NBA G-League Delaware 87ers, now the Delaware Blue Coats, and currently runs a youth sports program and AAU basketball organization.
