Seeing Triston Smith run the ball, while I’m on the sidelines, is something that will never leave my brain. His acceleration is unmatched. A true home run threat every time he touches the ball. When you combine his junior and senior seasons, he averaged over 10 yards per carry! That’s a first down every play! After rushing for 300 yards in week one, he followed that up by rushing for 445 yards and six touchdowns in week two. He played in only nine games and was still Whatcom County’s leading rusher. He was named All-Conference 1st Team running back for the second season in a row.
