At the end of the game Coby White didn’t know how many more points he needed. His coach, Rob Salter, did.

In the final minutes of Greenfield’s 90-80 loss to Garner in the championship game of the David West Bracket of the John Wall Holiday Invitational, Salter encouraged his senior guard to keep shooting.

The final outcome was no longer in question - the Trojans never trailed after the first quarter - so Salter wanted his five-star guard to do something special. In fact most fans in a sold out Holiday Gym wanted to see White break the 27 year-old record.
