bh146 Posted October 15, 2006 Report Posted October 15, 2006 Michael Pineda from The Baytown Sun - Barbers Hill senior Jared Smith is blessed with athletic ability. Smith was the district champion last year in the 100-meter dash and holds the school record in the 40-yard sprint with a time of 4.31 seconds. Smith is also a receiver for the Eagles and until his junior year, he was a member of the baseball team. When Barbers Hill athletic director Don Price received an application to recommend an athlete for Reliant Energy’s Scholarship for Champions –Building Strong Minds and Bodies program, selecting Smith was a no-brainer as far as Price was concerned. Price was proved right as Smith was one of eight Houston area athletes awarded a scholarship by Reliant. It was not Smith’s athletic ability or a GPA of over 3.0, which swayed Price and Reliant, it was the fact that the senior is performing at a high level despite having cystic fibrosis.(click link below for article) http://www.baytownsun.com/story.lasso?ewcd=c42de8ebb162787d
BHtheHill Posted October 16, 2006 Report Posted October 16, 2006 Glad to see the article on #21 - Jared Smith in the Baytown Sun. Jared is a great kid on and off the field. Sometimes Jared will be on the sidelines cough and having a hard time breathing but always gives 110%. Jared is one of a kind.
