Fred Smith

Fred played in the Destrehan-Hahnville rivalry all four years of his high school career. Fred had many memorable moments against Hahnville, but none more special than the exciting 28-27 come-from-behind victory during his junior year. In that game, Fred caught three second-half touchdown passes. The first was an electrifying 75-yard catch and run, the second an acrobatic 30-yard catch, and finally an 80-yard game-winner coming with less than two minutes to play in the game. Fred went on to play for Tulane before returning to coach and teach for a season at his high school Alma Mater.

GAME SUMMARY

Once the game began, Hahnville came out strong, scoring within the first minute of the game with an Ahmad White touchdown giving them the lead 7-0. After a trick play, White was again able to get into the end zone, giving Hahnville a larger 14-0 lead. Destrehan eventually scored, but they never recovered and Hahnville won 35-14.
