Smith coached the Titans to three league titles, including back-to-back championships in the I-Meck Conference the last two years. Smith was conference coach of the year this year, and his 2006 Titanswon the ME-CA 6 title.

Smith’s final Titan team may have been his best. Relying on multiple starters who Smith recruited from Hopewell’s halls simply for their athleticism and character, Hopewell went 18-4 and reached the third round of the 4A playoffs for the first time. The team also compiled a 4.825 weighted GPA.

Smith previously taught multiple levels of math and most recently served as Hopewell’s dean of students.
