Rappahannock’s, t^am. He came off the bench for those 15 points, and eight rebounds, after Freeman got into foul trouble. Smith took over Freeman's starting position after an injury sidelined Godfrey earlier this season, but has since relinquished the position after the big center’s recovery.
"That’s an example of ^vhat 1 mean by the contributions of all the team members,” Coach Leake said. Smith’s effort was a career high for the senior. One player has an offnight, and someone else is ready to step in and they pick up the position, he said. “They respond very well.”
As a bonus, he added, everyone on the team got to play before the Homecoming crowd. "Getting that time made an excellent Homecoming game.”
The junior varsity also had an excellent Homecoming, easily outscoring Clarke by 54-40. Point leaders for the Panthers were Phillip Daczewitz with 13 and James Roy with 11.

Rappahannock’s junior varsity is now 5-4 in district play on the year.

He said that his halftime talk centered on what the team needed to play effective defense — and what they lacked. “We discovered that we did have what we needed — heart — and went out in the second half and turned the game completely around.”
