How bout we discuss Chris SMith?????? I nominate him. LS 2nd Parade All American in FB.
I would say my heart is set on Hasselbeck, Haucke, Burden and Posey, Shields, Smith. I agree on Bader as well. I think you guys are making a good case for AJ....... How bout the Watson kid?
Chris Smith in 1980 was GCL first team, all city, and All-American by both Parade magazine and the National Coaches' Association.
Here are some drawbacks to Chris Smith. His 1980 team went 3-7 loaded with talent. Dave Hock led the city in punt average. Mario Russo led the city in kickoff returns. Tom Doerger made all city and all state. Dave Hock also made all city. Mark Schmutte and Dave Ginn got first team GCL. Dan Shields, Paul Burger, and Mike McKeever made GCL second team. Smith was the featured runner on the 1980 team and scored 56 points on nine touchdowns and one two point conversion. He doesn't even make La Salle's top ten list for football scoring. He finished 24th in the city in scoring in 1980. He rushed for 1001 yards on 155 carries for a 6.5 average. That was 12th in the city in rushing. His 6.5 average put him 6th on La Salle's all time list for rushing.
Smith was also La Salle's leading rusher on the 1979 team rushing for 535 yards on 115 carries for an 4.6 average. That put him 31st in the city. His 1979 La Salle team went 5-5 .
