Willie Taggart lands his first recruit
First though, White had to take care of something: a state title. White’s University School (Fla.) team defeated Madison County (Fla.) High School. 24-17 in the 3A state title game. University school had long been considered a bit of an underachiever, but White kept his team composed even after Madison County took an early 17-0 lead.

White is a lanky 6’5 and 195 pounds, and is also pretty good at baseball.
