Dexter Strickland delivers, wins duel

Posted Dec 28, 2008
The target is on him and he knows it. Each game, no matter the location or the opponent, Dexter Strickland of St. Patrick of Elizabeth, NJ, knows he's going to be the focal point of not only his own team's offense, but the opposition scouting report, as well. That is what comes from carrying the weight of so much promise. That is what comes from being the best player on the No. 2-ranked high school basketball team in the country and on his way, ultimately, to play for perhaps the best college basketball program in the country.
