2017 Hazard High School senior, Ryan Smith signs with Florence-Darlington Tech, Florence SC

Ryan Smith, pitcher and short stop,  for Hazard Baseball, signs with Florence-Darlington Tech. in South Carolina.  It has been a dream of Ryan’s to advance his baseball career to the next level.  Some of accomplishments include: 2 time 14th Region Champion, All-A State Runner-up 2016, State Quarter finalist 2014 and 2016, MVP 14th Region 2016.  So, to say that we wanted to incorporate baseball into his senior portraits was an understatement. But, Ryan is much more than a baseball player. He is funny, friendly, emotional, and wears his heart on his sleeve.

To watch him play any sport is feel what he is feeling. It has been a pleasure watching him grow up, watching him play a sport he loves, and photographing him along the way. Congratulations on your scholarship Ryan!!!!!!!!
