Episcopal Academy vs. Brunswick Standout

This kid is a nut in the absolute best way possible. He’s not very big, but he plays SO big. Smith isn’t afraid of anything and he will repeatedly dodge into the teeth of the defense to make a play, even if it means taking a big hit. The senior sparkplug, who recently buried his 100th career goal for the Churchmen, is impossible to miss on the field. Find the ball, and you’ll find Smith. He got EA out to a 2-0 lead with the first two of his three goals. Smith caught and finished a feed from Darrius Whitfield in front of the net. He then created his own luck by hounding Brunswick goalie Will Connell on the ride, then tucking home a turnover. Finally, it was Smith that drew the Churchmen even at 11 when he got to the middle of the defense and pocketed his third of the game while taking a big hit. It’s hard not to be enamored with Smith’s compete level because it’s off the charts.

“I don’t care if I’ve got to take a hit,” Smith said. “Getting a goal is worth it. I always want to be the guy to get the goal, and I’m going to do whatever it takes to get it. That’s how I play.”
