Another record breaker in AHS basketball history

In the quarterfinal game against the Clever Blue Jays, the crowd erupted when Erik White nailed a 3-pointer, taking his point total in AHS play to 1000.  “It was a big deal to our team to have a crowd at a game two hours away like it would have been here in Adrian,” Erik said.

Erik started his basketball career as a second grader in Harrisonville. Two years later he joined Adrian’s elite group, of now seniors, in little league action. They have played together ever since.

Erik’s most memorable moment in Blackhawk basketball came his sophomore season when he shot the game winning point against Sherwood.  He will not soon forget Adrian’s trips to the quarterfinals two of his four high school years.

After graduation, Erik plans to attend William Jewell. Jewell’s coach came to some of Adrian’s games to watch him play, and Erik hopes to play basketball there next year.

“Thanks to my team for all the hard work they put forth and the community for all of the support they have given. Thanks also to my family for always coming to watch and be there,” Erik said.
