A defensive girls’ basketball specialist for CHS, she also later played for the All-American Red Heads professional touring team. Her travels with the team took her not only across the country, but to her hometown of Celina for one game. She was a four-year starter at CHS, and her Red Heads uniform has been displayed at the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame in Knoxville.

“On behalf of my aunt, Nola Catherine, and the entire Pitcock family, I want to say thank you for honoring her in this way,” Smith’s niece Pricilla Brown Tinnon said.  “I know she would have been very pleased that people remember the contribution she made to sports at Celina High School.”
