“Coby White is the best player I’ve seen at the high school level. The talent that he demonstrates night in and night out as a 17 or 18-year-old is amazing. He can score 40, 45 points every night and he defends, he hustles, he’s tough. He can do it all.”

Victor Young

Head Coach at Wayne Christian School
