WABASH,Ind. -- Tim Saylor, the best player White's Institute ever produced, is famous for his 90-point game during his 1970-71 senior season vs. Divine Heart.
However, the 6-8 215 lb post was also noted for his ferocious rebounding. A recently recovered and documented 38 rebound performance vs. Southwood during that same year is now safely preserved in the Record Book as the seventh greatest display of rebounding in the history of Indiana high school basketball.
In that mid-December match-up, Whites' downed winless Southwood, 81-50. White's would go on to finish Sectional runner-up for the second year in a row to Huntington. This time, 67-63, and finish with a 17-6 record.
White's 75 team rebounds that game also qualifies as the fourth most in that category.

I'm confident that Saylor will factor among the career leaders for rebounds as well, but I have been unable to confirm his numbers from his first three years of high school yet.
