RICHMOND, Va. — Ty White, the architect behind one of the most dominant high school basketball programs in the region, was named the head coach at his alma mater, Petersburg High School, on Monday.
The announcement comes after White stepped down as head coach of John Marshall High School's boys basketball team.
White hopes to replicate in Petersburg the success he had in Richmond, where he led the Justices for 15 seasons, compiling a record of 322 wins against just 60 losses.
Under his leadership, John Marshall captured seven state championships, including four consecutive Class 2 titles.
The program reached unprecedented heights during the 2022-23 season when the team finished with a perfect 28-0 record and was ranked No. 1 in the country.
White's teams consistently demonstrated excellence on the court, with 12 seasons of 20 or more wins during his tenure.
The school confirmed White's departure, marking the end of a remarkable chapter in John Marshall basketball history.
His decision could significantly impact the competitive landscape of high school basketball in the region.
