As the horn sounded for the final second of White House’s 39-0 victory over Chattanooga East Ridge, the crowd responded with hundreds of signs waving in the air showing “200” in White House blue.

For head coach Jeff Porter, his 200th win came in his 22nd season at the helm of the Blue Devils against just 73 losses, easily ranking him among the most successful active head coaches in the entire state of Tennessee. Porter was honored with a plaque on the field from Principal Jeff Cordell, and surrounded by the entire senior class as he was preparing for an interview with Randy Cline and Lee Smith of the Blue Devil Network.
