The recent success that Winterset High School has had over the last couple of years is mainly attributed to the production of Natalie Smith at the CG position. Last season as a Junior Smith averaged 14 PPG, 7 RPG, and 2 APG. These are some solid numbers to achieve when you are leaving it out on the court every single time you play. That’s what we have here, she is doing all that she can whenever she is hooping. She shoots a good percentage offensively at over 52%, so you can’t fault her offensive output while leading the team. Defensively, she makes smart plays and isn’t afraid of any challenge set in her ways. All in all, Smith has had a memorable career leading the Winterset pack and she is looking to make her mark one last time this Winter before hopefully taking her talents to the collegiate level.

Natalie Smith Natalie Smith 5'8" | CG Winterset | 2027 IA of Winterset High School hit the 1000 point mark for her career a few weeks ago during her varsity contest. Smith, a 5’8 CG, is someone that plays the 3 spot more-so on the high school floor with a high level rebounding ability. She might only be 5’8 but she rebounds at a consistent rate like she is actually 6’0. This ability also displays her hard-work and patience. This is someone that isn’t going to try and do something that is out of the normal for herself. She takes what is given to her by the defense. That’s always nice to see because it shows that the prospect is letting the game come to them in a sense and everything seems to flow a little more smoothly in the long run. With the Huskies Smith is second in PPG on the season, while being a constant in almost every positive statistical category you can name. A pretty impressive thing to note as she is a sophomore and only going to get better with time/experience.
