Williamston football's impressive turnaround in the 2025 regular season finished with an exclamation point, shutting out Redford Thurston 34-0 to complete the Hornets' first undefeated regular season in school history.
That result might not have happened without the performance of senior running back Joe Smith, who was voted the latest LSJ boys high school athlete of week. The Williamston hard-nosed rusher carried the ball 25 times for 186 yards and a touchdown while also securing a touchdown reception for the Hornets in their win.
