Verdigris RB Smith eclipses 2,000 yards

Tim Ritter Sports Editor The Claremore Daily Progress Fri Nov 09, 2012, 12:47 PM CST

VERDIGRIS — Just call Verdigris senior running back Tanner Smith ... Mr. 2,000.

Smith eclipsed the 2,000-yard mark last Friday night following a 289-yard performance in the Cardinals’ 36-20 win over Sperry.

The 5-foot-11, 210-pound tailback carried 37 times for 289 yards and scored four touchdowns in the regular season finale.

Smith’s milestone moment helped the senior captain become the first Cardinals’ running back to rush for 2,000-plus yards in a single season.

On the season, Smith has 241 carries for 2,033 yards and 25 touchdowns.

Last week, Smith was named a finalist in the Wendy’s ‘High School Heisman’ for the state of Oklahoma.

Verdigris hosts Morris on Friday in the 3A playoffs.

GOLF: Bradley gets course-record 60 at Byron Nelson
Keegan Bradley had no thoughts of a course record, or the possibility of a 59, after consecutive bogeys in the middle of his opening round at the Byron Nelson Championship.

Until his 136-yard wedge shot on his final hole Thursday.

“It was going right at it. (A 59) crossed my mind for a second, and it would be unbelievable if I buried this,” Bradley said. “But I had 3 feet to shoot 60. I was actually very nervous, uncomfortable over it and thank God I made it.”
