Meet Reid Smith – A Rising Junior to Watch
Written by Lee Roggenburg on . Posted in Uncategorized.
We had the opportunity to see Reid play several times during the 2015 season. He is an attackman who sees the whole field with great footwork. He does a great job of turning the corner and either finding the corner of the net or dumping the ball to a teammate. With such a great sophomore season under his belt there is not telling what he is going to be able to do with two more years at PV.
Check out his highlight video.
