With Senior Night later this evening, we put St. Joseph-Ogden's #1 player under the spotlight for his 12 and Out. Lucas Smith, who wears #1, gives us the scoop on his pre-game snack and more. The senior kicker, who also plays in the receiver slot and at d-back, has booted the ball 2,181 yards in eight games this season. After 48 kickoffs, Smith's longest kick is 60 yards, a feat he has performed three times - once in St. Joseph-Ogden's home game Unity, and against Central Catholic and Rantoul on the road. In those same games, Smith is 38-for-38 when it comes to field goal completions. Here's what Lucas shared with The Sentinel:
