Former Hawk shines in big upset


Former Hazelwood Central standout Morris Smith IV was instrumental in the University of Texas-San Antonio's huge 62-50 upset at Big Ten Conference school Iowa last weekend.
The 6'4" Smith scored a team high 16 points to spark the big upset. It marked the first time that Hawkeyes had lost a home opener in 47 years.
Smith also put himself in the school's record book by making all ten of his free throws, which tied the school record.
After a standout career with the Hawks, Smith spent his freshman year at Western Illinois, transferred to Southwest Missouri-West Plains J.C., where he earned NJCAA All-Region 16 honors.
As a junior at UTSA, Smith averaged nine points and three rebounds in helping the Roadrunners to a 19-13 record and a berth in the championship game of the Southland Conference postseason tournament.
