Greg White was a state place winner for North Marion High School wrestling for Coach Roy Michael and his father, Donnie. Battling health and size problems throughout his high school career endeared him in the hearts of West Virginia wrestling fans, coaches, and wrestlers. After high school graduation, Greg went on to wrestle at West Virginia University and earned a starting position on the Mountaineer squad in his senior year. Never one to speak out about what he had over come, Greg just went out and did the best he could do. This was always more than what was expected. Upon graduation from West Virginia University, he returned to his home town and took over or helps run the family business according to who you ask, Greg or his father. The National Wrestling Hall of Fame honors Greg White with the "Medal of Courage" award, class of 2007.
