Smith named super elite all-state by Texas High School Coaches Association

Boerne Champion’s Aidan Smith was recently named to the Texas High School Coaches Association 5A Super Elite Baseball Team.

Only 15 baseball players from around the state in each classification – 1A through 6A - earn that distinction.

Smith, who just graduated from Champion, ended his high senior year with a .396 batting average and had a .516 on base percentage. He had 38 hits, including 5 doubles, 2 triples, a home run and 3 stolen bases. Smith scored 17 runs and picked up 38 RBI.

The multi-talented Smith also pitched for the Chargers and went 4-2 this year on the mound and finished with a 2.41 earned run average.

Smith will continue his academic and baseball career at Wartburg College, a Division III school in Waverly, Iowa.

Each UIL classification from 1A to 6A has a Super Elite Baseball Team that is selected by the Super Elite Teams (SET) committees. To be considered, an athlete must be a student of good moral character, on the varsity, been a member of the team in good standing at the time of nomination, excelled as an elite member in their respective sport and their coach must be a THSCA member.

Smith, who was also named all-state by the Texas High School Baseball Coaches Association, helped the Charger baseball team advance to the fourth round of the 5A baseball playoffs this past spring.
