Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College

Sidney White, a Sylvester native, made his mark as a football player for ABAC when the school was Georgia State College for Men, a name it retained until 1933 when the state of Georgia switched it to a two-year program. Around when Georgia State was overpowering the University of Miami on the gridiron, White went on to be a coach, with stints in football and girls’ basketball. White’s 1965 Warner Robins team won the state championship and he was runner-up five other times.
