Harrison High School junior defensive lineman Logan White was a bit surprised at the attention he received after last weeks home win against Mount Healthy.It was unreal, White said. Theres people trying to ask me to sign stuff. Everybody coming up to me at the end of the game. I didnt even know. This is an unreal feeling.White, a 5-foot-11, 240-pound lineman who runs like a linebacker, is getting used to the spotlight for the Wildcats (6-1), who are No. 3 in the Division II, Region 8 computer points standings. Hes already used to getting double-teamed during games.Hes the strongest kid in the (school) building, Rehage said. "So when you combine all that you get this giant ball of muscle that just goes and goes and goes and its tough to defend.White earned a career-high 17 tackles including tying his own single-game program record of five sacks in the Wildcats 49-26 win over visiting Mount Healthy Oct. 4.It was one of the best performances weve ever had here at Harrison defensively in a single game, Harrison coach Derek Rehage said. Seventeen tackles, five sacks just off the charts.That performance earns White the WCPO 9 Gold Star Athlete of the Week. The 17-year-old has 62 tackles on the season (50 solo). That includes 13.5 sacks and five tackles for loss. I dont like losing, White said of his motivation to play hard. White, who is also a Harrison wrestler, said he likes to listen to music to mentally prepare for a game. He also enjoys his space.I separate myself from everybody, White said. I sit somewhere else. I dont sit by everybody in the locker room. I just focus on what I got to do. And then theyll focus on what they got to do and well come together as a team.Whites intensity is well-known at Harrisons practices. His example helps to lead other teammates.I think its just this inner drive and desire to be competitive at all times in everything he does, Rehage said. Its amazing. Just what hes done day in and day out. When we come out here and say is Logan White out here today? And were checking to see how much disruption he causes on our offense.White said he simply loves competing for Harrison where the stands are filled, the adrenaline is on the field and the atmosphere is memorable. He also kept count of how many sacks this past Friday after making each play.Just everybody cheering me on, he said. Everybody just pushing me saying, Lets go Whitey. Lets go, lets get pressure.' I get back there, make a big play. Everybody gets up the hype, the energy that comes from everybody just nothing can beat it.Harrison (6-1, 1-0 Southwest Ohio Conference) plays host to Talawanda (3-4, 1-0) Friday night during homecoming weekend.SIGN UP: Subscribe to our high school sports newsletter
