A player who elevates his game on the biggest stages, from the first possession of the game Colin White Colin White 6'5" | SG Ottawa-Glandorf | 2024 State #156 Nation OH and the Titans were locked in. 17 first quarter points that included transition dunks, curl cuts off screens and tough pull-up jumpers, White wasted no time establishing dominance on Wednesday night. Ottawa Glandorf comes out focused and the Titans feed off the energy that their crazy fans bring on a nightly basis. Their defensive unity makes it so tough to score on them in the half-court and they don’t turn the ball over to give many easy transition opportunities. It’s easy to spotlight White for what he does on an individual level, but his teammates always give the extra effort on both ends and in the district final it was a role player knocking down a 3-pointer to tie the game with 10 seconds left. White’s 36 points were key, but this was a true team effort by the Titans on both ends of the court.

I just watched Ottawa Glandorf last Saturday and they took a tough loss on their home court. This Saturday they went on the road and handed Lexington just their second loss of the season. White was instrumental in the performance with a handful of strong drives to the rim where he scored through the chest of the Lexington rim protectors. Lexington didn’t force White to his left hand and he continued to attack on the right side of the rim with two foot finishes that showed his balance and ability to score through contact. Also knocking down some tough 8-15 foot shots, White’s touch was on full display when he got the friendly roll a few times on these mid-range pull-ups. Continuing to improve as an athlete, White had a couple breakaway dunks including a left-handed dunk jumping off his right foot, something that is very hard for a right-handed player to do. White finished with a game-high 26 points and had some key buckets late to help the Titans get a signature win headed into the playoffs.

Everyone knows Colin White Colin White 6'5" | SG Ottawa-Glandorf | 2024 State #156 Nation OH is a bucket and for his senior campaign, it has been no different. This Buckeye commit is still just as good at scoring the ball as ever but I was impressed with the physicality White has added this year. Yesterday was my first time seeing Ottawa-Glandorf play this season and his size stood out to me. He gets to the rim much better and is someone who creates contact and dictates it when getting to the rim. He is always on balance and this helps him finish. He has a great touch around the rim just like beyond the arc.

White is committed to Ohio State and came off an impressive grassroots season with Indiana Elite. White has led his small town high school Ottawa Glandorf to three straight final four appearances and will be looking to finally lift the trophy as a senior.
