| Mustang Legend Kevin Smith |

| " I want you to go out there tonight and be the best #42 on the floor!!!" So was the challenge issued Senior co-captain Kevin Smith prior to the CovCath game back on February 22nd by the Mustangs coaching staff - AND HE WAS. The other #42 on the floor that night was worn by Covington Catholic's Mr. Basketball candidate, Division One Penn signee, Brennen Votel. Smitty led all scorers in the game, putting up fifteen points in the battle for the consensus Number One ranking in all of Northern Kentucky while playing relentless defense and turning in perhaps his best all-around basketball game while wearing a Brossart uniform, leading his Mustangs to a 68-52 thumping of the Ninth Region kingpins. Again, Kevin Smith showed his stuff in Blue-chip time. It was Smitty's defensive efforts in big games vs Mason County over the past few years where he guarded Mr. Basketball Chris Lofton that motivated Mason County Head Coach Kelly Wells to tab the lanky Mustang as a great college prospect and recruit the 6'6" guard/forward to Hawaii Pacific University when Wells took an assistants job there this season. Smitty's best playing days are in front of him and he is going to get to showcase himself at the next level. |
| Kevin Smith received a rude welcome to high school basketball, breaking his wrist while playing in his first game in a a Junior Varsity game vs Covington Catholic. Sleek as a thoroughbred racehorse with the athletic ability of a deer effortlessly jumping a fence, Smitty has paid for his athletic abilities and streamlined frame by spending time on the disabled list off and on throughout his career - always bouncing back and playing better/stronger/harder after each setback. His most recent time-lost injury befell him on Thursday night, December 16th of his senior season when he strained some ligament/tendons in his lower right leg, sitting the Mustangs co-captain for nearly a month before re-joining the team vs Erlanger Lloyd on January 13th of 2005.. Smith managed to compete in 18 of the Mustangs 24 games that season finishing the season as our third-leading scorer behind Evan McDole and Jason Cooper. Smitty put 160 points on the borad, averaging 8.9ppg, and led the team from behind the arc, hitting on 21 of 53 three-point shot attempts for an impressive 40% connection rate. Kevin ranks 36th among all-time career leading scorers. |
