- 6’1
White is one of the best young arms in Ohio as she can bring big pace and hit. She has great size as a pin attacker and uses her size well to get on top of the ball. The fast pace of the offense at Lebanon often left her good space around the block to terminate with authority. She contributes well in the back row as she can pass and defend with good range, which all stems from great confidence, competitiveness, and court poise as a freshman. She compets for Elevation 16 Butcher.
