Smith played a very key role in Clarion’s 20-19 win at Moniteau Friday night that kept the Bobcats playoff hopes alive. He came up with a season-saving interception near the goaline in the final minute of play keeping Moniteau from a potential game-winning touchdown. He also caught a 51-yard touchdown pass from Adam Bevevino in the first half helping Clarion build a 20-0 halftime lead, and his coverage on Moniteau’s top receivers helped keep the Warriors passing game in check.
