line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>You've had a month now to
digest winning the State Championship.
Take me through what it has been like since winning it and how do you
reflect on the accomplishment?

style=>
line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>"It's been incredible the
past couple weeks. The guys have
received a lot of attention and it has been a great thing for the city of
Richmond. To know the amount of hard
work these guys put in and never bucked the system, it was a real different
approach. You didn't see any
attitudes. You didn't see any
pouting.
"Verdana","sans-serif"'>"I've never coached a group as hard as this group, nor
did I see this group back down from it.
They literally adapted to anything we threw at them and we threw a lot
of different things at them. It was a
great feeling. I'm already looking
forward to getting back in the gym and working out."

style='font-size:9.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>
style=> "Well, it was actually that night or the day
of the State Championship when I had my son there and my daughter there.
style=> My son is six and my daughter is two.
style=> I was able to hold up the trophy with those
guys with them there. The day of the
State Championship, my son said to me, 'Dad, I hope you win because I just want
to hold up the Championship trophy.' It
was a beautiful feeling to actually do that and have that come to pass for my
son. I think he'll remember this several
years from now."

style=>
line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>"As a team.
style=> Exactly the word team comes to mind with
them. They epitomize what it means to
play team basketball. So many times, you
see more talented teams not win. I've
been apart of more talented teams that did not win.
style=> I'm just grateful to have a special group of
men who care more about the team than themselves.
style=> This has truly be
one of the more fun group of guys to be around, and also one of the more
enjoyable years to coach, push and mentor that I've ever experienced in my
life."

style=> Last year's John Marshall team got to the
State Final and didn't win it all and I know you were an assistant on some
might fine Petersburg squads that came close to capturing a state title.

I thought last year we got a taste of it, but we didn't fully reach our
goal. We didn't shy away from it
either. Starting on the first day of
practice, we talked about it and knew clearly what the goal and standard was.

disappointment."

style=>
line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>"One of the turning points
in the season I would say was the loss to George Wythe at home in the 3A-East
Regional Championship. It was a humbling
experience that brought about a tighter group of guys who collectively didn't
want to let each other down. From that
point, I knew ultimately that we were going to truly win it all."

style='font-size:9.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>
style=> I felt one of the eye-opening games for you
was in our Sixth Annual VirginiaPreps.com Classic Presented by Cox Sports at
Green Run High School in the nightcap when you lead a nationally-ranked Cape
Henry team, one of the top private schools in the state, for most of the way
before falling in overtime to them. Even
though you lost that game, did you feel it sent a message?
style='font-size:9.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>White:
style=>
line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>"Well, we were a little
disappointed that we didn't win that game.
We didn't get it done, and any time we step on the court, we believe
we're going to win the game, regardless of who we play.
style=> I thought Cape Henry was a great test for us
to really see where we were. We always
look for those types of high level competition games where we have to max out
because if you don't max out you'll get embarrassed in the gym.
style=> That makes you play your best.
style=>
"Verdana","sans-serif"'>"The thought of not playing the best and not only
getting beat, but getting embarrassed is something to keep the guys
focused. We thought we gained a lot from
that experience that night. They're very
well-coached, a very talented group of guys and were undefeated at that point;
I don't think they lost until the State Final in fact."
"Verdana","sans-serif"'> 
style='font-size:9.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>Q:
style=>
line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>You played a challenging
schedule, both with some of the heavy hitters in your conference and the likes
of Cape Henry, Benedictine, Christchurch, Trinity Episcopal and others outside
your conference. Were you impressed with
how some of your young guys shined in that spotlight?

style='font-size:9.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>
style=> "We were fortunate enough to have a different
group of guys. They were young in names,
but in their minds and abilities, they were pretty much advanced to be honest
with you. With the likes of a freshman
in Greg Jones, an extremely talented sophomore in Jeremy Carter-Sheppard, and
quality juniors such as Taqqi Muhammad and Nate
Williams, our underclassmen stepped up to the plate, especially in the
postseason. They took it to the next
level. But we were ultimately led by a
fearless warrior in Quaman Burton.

such a valuable asset to your team?
style='font-size:9.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>White:
style=>
line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>"He's the best leader I've
ever coached, period. We're talking AAU,
High School, anything. His ability to
lead guys and get them to rally behind them was impeccable.
style=> I say it often that he could lead a Fortune
500 company. He'll do that at the next
level. He'll be a leader.
style=> In the next couple of weeks, he'll make some
visits and decide what the best fit is for him.
It all starts with the leadership qualities.
style=> But beyond that, his ability to defend and
want to defend proved to be real crucial.
His willingness to sacrifice his scoring meant a great deal, too.
"Verdana","sans-serif"'>"Quaman's one of those kids
who can have 20-25 points a night because of how easily he can get in the lane
and score often causes pressure on defenses.
However, that wouldn't have ultimately made us as successful of a
team. We would've lost a few more games
if he had that mindset. He bought into
the concept of making sure everybody got to their spots, put them in place to be
successful and getting them to buy into situations where they can be
successful. And then he had that mindset
of when my team needs a bucket, I'll go get it for them.
"Verdana","sans-serif"'>"It was his first year playing point guard full-time as
a varsity starter, but he played a bunch his junior year off the ball a little
bit. He was on varsity as a freshman and
saw some great leaders in Tahir Little, Willie Mangum, Jestin
Lewis and Gerard Dean-McBride. To lose
what we lost the year prior, it's really a testament to how hard he and others
worked. You have to think, Dominique
Terry had a good year at Chowan, Gerard Dean-McBride played well at Virginia
Union, and Brian White played extremely well at The Citadel by earning
class=GramE>Freshman of the Year in that conference.
style=> He soaked up a lot."

style='font-size:9.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>
style=> Speak on the play of your talented Class of
2016 guard Jeremy Sheppard.
style=> He was our choice for 3A State Player of the
Year and it's fair to say he became an even bigger name on the recruiting radar
when the postseason concluded than when his sophomore year started is it not?
style='font-size:9.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>White:
style=>
line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>"It truly, truly did not
shock me what he did. Jeremy was a kid
as a freshman that we trusted a lot to play.
His ability is something different.
You can just look at some kids and say they've got it.
style=> He's one of those kids that truly
class=GramE>has 'it.' He works
really hard and his motion and body in work is almost effortless.
style=> When you look at him you might not think he's
playing hard, but then you look in the stat sheet and that joker will have six
steals, and I think in the Championship game he had close to seven.
style=> He does a lot and it doesn't always look like
it, which can be a good thing.
"Verdana","sans-serif"'>"Jeremy's very efficient.
style=> There's not a lot of wasted motion with his
game and the outside shooting is certainly excellent.
style=> I think the sky truly is the limit for that
young man. To be honest, he has
high-major ability. His ability to
handle the ball, score, shoot, it all is going to be really limitless the next
couple years. I know we're going to work
to evolve his game more as a point guard, not so much that he won't score as
much, but he will also handle the ball.
He was the secondary ball-handler this year with Quaman.
style=> Next season, he'll be tasked with the responsibility
of a leader, and secondly more of a ball-handler.
"Verdana","sans-serif"'>"Right now, he has offers from like Mount St. Mary's,
Miami of Ohio, Hampton University.
style=> Indiana has been in to see him, UCONN, and he's
been to VCU a couple times on unofficial visits.
style=> He just had a talk not too long ago with his
parents and Shaka [Smart] and his staff.
style=> VCU is on him really hard, and it'll really
pick up this summer as he plays 17-and-Under and plays point guard."

fearless kid. He can probably play any
sport in the building, football, basketball, baseball, and anything else.
style=> Talent-wise and athletic-wise, he can get a
lot done. He's a guy that came off the
bench for us and literally would've started for most every other team in the state.
style=> But he accepted that role to come off the
bench, be an energy guy and brought a lot of toughness with him.
style=> You knew what you were going to get with him
consistency wise each and every night.
He's give us a hard 18-20 minutes a game, even as a sophomore when he
came off the bench. He's a tough kid who's
going to defend and sacrifice his body."

the 3. Around the basket, he can finish
with both hands. He's one of the few
kids you see with an effective jump-hook in High School Basketball.
style=> He's wiry, long.
style=> You're going to see a different Nate next
season. He's already staying after
school working out. You'll see his body
develop, and as you see his body develop, you'll see his game develop as well.
"Verdana","sans-serif"'>"On the recruiting front, he's a guy who holds offers
from Campbell University and Hampton University as well.
style=> He'll pique a lot of people's interest
because there aren't a ton of guys that are 6-8, long, athletic and can shoot.
style=> Early in the year, he suffered a concussion
and missed that big Benedictine game for us.
He's a kid who can break out next year and blow a lot of people's minds."

old, he looks like a grown man. He'll
average a double-double next year, easily.

that kid. He's a tough kid as well and
already holds an offer from Longwood. He's
such a very talented kid, and trust me, he's going to
be even better next year. You'll see him
knock down more jump shots next year and show more versatility.
style=> Having him being able to score both inside and
outside next year will be very good, and hard to defend.
"Verdana","sans-serif"'>"Having Nate and Greg back in the front-court to go
with Jeremy, Taqqi and Jay in the backcourt is a real
plus. There's another kid we brought up

for us, especially experiencing what we experienced the year prior.

long. The resiliency of these guys was

know how tough these guys were. They
weren't fake tough with that jaw-jacking stuff.

a refuse to lose attitude in their minds.

after the State Championship, but the conference that we play in is
unreal. Literally, five out of the seven

either. It was just a tough conference.
"Verdana","sans-serif"'>"I go back to that game with Armstrong and they could've
very well held up the trophy. Coach
Watts does a phenomenal job of getting those guys to rally and they always seem
to play hard. The likes of a George
Wythe could've done it and we split with them before the title game, winning
the rubber match. They could've take it,
or even the likes of a Hopewell, and shucks, even though Petersburg got knocked
off by Hopewell, they had a team that could've beaten anyone in a one-game
situation this year in 3A. The likes of
TJ with a gifted scorer like Kadeem [Wright].
