Column: Notre Dame's Zachary White is an extraordinary role player
Briefly

Zachary White from Sherman Oaks Notre Dame High exemplifies the essential, often unnoticed contributions that lead to team victories in basketball. Coach Matt Sargeant praises White for his dedication to winning through unglamorous but impactful roles, such as strong defense, effective communication, and rebounding. As Notre Dame prepares for an important game against Harvard-Westlake, despite the star power of teammates like Tyran Stokes, White’s consistent and versatile presence is deemed crucial. His focus on team success over personal accolades highlights his genuine commitment to basketball.
"If you know basketball and you're really watching the game, all he's doing is affecting winning. It's his defense, it's his communication, it's his rebounding."
"I'm not worried about who's ranked higher than me. I'm just worried about winning and the overall success for everyone. I want everyone to win, not just me."
