Trenten Smith is this week’s 4th Down Big School Player of the Week after one of his best performances of his career.
During Cedar Cliff’s 42-35 loss to Exeter Township in the District 3 Class 5A semifinals Friday, Smith posted numbers only bested by his Week 1 performance. Smith caught eight passes over the weekend for 137 yards and two touchdowns (13 and 24 yards). In Week 1 he went for 171 yards and two TDs on seven receptions against Red Lion.
Smith’s performance Friday kept the Colts in a tight playoff game. He was quarterback Ethan Dorrell’s top target after the QB threw for 225 yards, four touchdowns and an interception on 17-of-27 passing.
Smith picked up 327 votes this week, beating second-place Mahkai Hopkins, of Harrisburg (231 votes). Of the 645 votes cast, Smith picked up 51%.
