First look at new Coach Paul Wilhite Court

 

BENTON HARBOR, Mich. -- Benton Harbor High School unveiled the first look Wednesday of Coach Paul Wilhite Court.

The floor inside Farnum Gymnasium had not been replaced since 1954 until this project was approved.

Wilhite coached the boys' varsity basketball team at Benton Harbor for decades and took the team to multiple state championship appearances.

He started his career as a Phys-Ed teacher in 1965 and coached the JV team for more than 15 years.

The court will be officially dedicated in his honor on Dec. 16 prior to the boys' varsity home game.
