Silas Smith earns All-State honors

Friday, April 5, 2013

The Missouri Sportswriters/Sportscasters Association has issued its 2012-13 All-State selections.

Among those selected to this year's first team was Nevada High School senior Silas Smith. Smith finished his career at Nevada with 1,117 points -- a staggering 629 of which came in his senior season alone -- and was also a member of the Missouri Basketball Coaches' Association's All-State team and the All-Class 4, District 12 team.

Smith's high school playing career was cut short when the Tigers suffered a 79-66 defeat at the hands of Carthage in the semifinals of the Class 4, District 12 tournament on March 1. Smith said after the season that though he has gotten some attention from college programs, his future in basketball is still somewhat uncertain.

The latest list on which Smith's name appears is selected by a statewide panel of sportswriters and broadcasters.
