SMITH VERBALLY COMMITS TO WVU
Congratulations to R.J. Smith who chose to accept a scholarship to play for West Virginia University next year. RJ commtted early. RJ chose WVU over several other schools because he liked the university setting and the idea of playing for former Catoctin-standout Pat Sherald. "With Coach Sherald there and the location of the university, it felt like home. I am excited about playing there." Coach Franklin added, "We try to find a good fit for our kids. WVU seemed like a great fit for RJ. Pat is an outstanding coach. He's also one of the finest Cougars to ever wear our uniform." Good Luck R.J. We are all behind you.
