Banks Smith

River Bluff’s Banks Smith was a big part of the Gators’ (15-1) regular season. 

In River Bluff’s two games last week, Smith helped the Gators take down Phillip Simmons and Clover. Against Phillip Simmons, he had five goals and three assists. He followed that with a three-goal, two-assist game against Clover. 

Smith was one of River Bluff’s top scorers in 2026. He finished the season with 55 goals and a team-high 31 assists. 

River Bluff finished second in region play, despite only having one loss all season. The team still managed to get a first-round bye and will begin its playoff run on Saturday. 

Smith will be a key part in determining how far River Bluff goes. It will be the senior’s last ride with the team.

The senior has led Gray Collegiate to a (25-0) undefeated regular season and national recognition. Gray is the No. 7-ranked team in the country and is looking to defend its consecutive state championships.
