White recorded 136 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 16 carries, good for an average of 8.5 yards per carry.
In doing so, White played an instrumental role in helping No. 20 Canyons pick up a 52-42 home win over the No. 11 ranked Vikings. He started the scoring for Canyons with a 39‐yard touchdown run just 46 seconds into the opening quarter.

White, who prepped at Lakeland Christian High School in Florida, has gone over the century mark in two of the last three games, and leads the Cougars with 349 rushing yards and five touchdowns on the season.
On Saturday, the Cougars churned out 578 yards of total offense including a season-high 318 yards on the ground.
Canyons (3-1) will next travel to Grossmont (2-2) at 3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 30.
