Smith led the 3A West with 1.3 blocks per game, was second in 3-point percentage and fifth in overall field goal percentage. He was Powell’s third-leading rebounder with 4.8 a game. He was also named to All-State as a sophomore in 2013.

Seniors Shawnea Harrington and Brooke Lensegrav were named to the girls’ All-Conference list while senior Hayden Cragoe was named to the boys’ list.
