Opinion

For Warrior basketball and the Smith family there is no generation gap. William “Hoop” Smith, 75, was a sophomore on the state tournament team that finished 5th in 1933. His son, Jeff, 49, was on the team that finished second in 1958. Now, grandson Kyle is a 6-6 post on the team that plays its opening game at state tomorrow.
