Coming in at #2 is Smith who put together his own remarkable freshman campaign at Reynolds. He immediately established himself as one of the top scorers in the state and the non-league schedule included a state all-time freshman record of 54 points in a road win at Roseburg. Even though injury hampered him late in the year, he still finished second in the state in scoring (22.1 ppg) while also averaging 5.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 2.0 steals. Already holding scholarship offers from Portland, San Francisco, and Jacksonville, Smith has since transferred to Parkrose and is fitting right in with his new squad this June.

If there were any doubts how Smith might mesh with his new squad at Parkrose, if the game we watched against Grant was any indication you can silence all those voices as the fit was just like a glove. The rising sophomore played within the system that helped win the Broncos the 5A title last year but when given the opportunity, he shined. His three-point shot was on, particularly from the corners – he dropped five from deep – and he also converted or drew contact from some athletic forays to the hoop. He finished with 23 points.

1st Team

Smith turned in what might be the greatest scoring season ever for a freshman in state history, capped with a 50+ point game. His young Reynolds group struggled in the tough Mt. Hood Conference, but Smith’s ability to score from all three levels is a promising foundation for the future.

Smith is a shifty guard who shows some real potential on both ends of the floor. Can really burst around the floor, in and out of gaps, and changes direction especially well on his attacks, playing off two and allowing himself the option to go any direction. Was also able to apply pressure on the ball and use his length to disrupt rhythm. Ranked #1 in Oregon’s Class of 2029, Smith lived up to the hype. The incoming Reynolds freshman can score at all three levels, is a good athlete, and plays unselfishly. Paired with Ainsworth, he formed one of the showcase’s top duos, showing excellent awareness cutting to open lanes and finishing strong at the rim. (RM & AG)
