ATHLETE OF THE WEEK: Lucas Smith

Eastern Randolph, football

Eastern Randolph’s high-powered team has had various sources of production in maintaining an undefeated record.

One of the main contributors to the offense has been Smith, a senior running back.

He has eclipsed the 100-yard rushing mark regularly and ended up as a frequent visitor to the end zone.

Smith has been an All-Piedmont Athletic Conference selection in each of the past two seasons.

The Wildcats have cruised to victories in the Class 1A state playoffs. They’ll have an other home postseason game Friday night in a matchup of unbeatens when Corvian Community visits for a third-round game.
