Matty White was an all-city basketball player – and Staten Island’s first 1,000-point scorer – at LaSalle Academy in Manhattan, and an all-time player at Georgetown, before spending 24 seasons as a high school coach and 17 as an assistant at the College of Staten Island.
He led LaSalle to a CHSAA championship game, scoring 25 points in the quarterfinal and 30 in the semis; and when Georgetown marked a century of basketball by celebrating its top 100 players, White was among them.
