Anthony Smith: Indian Hill's Returning All-CHL Selection Has Already Delivered on a Bigger Stage
Anthony Smith is one of the clearest returning names from the Cincinnati Hills League's 2025–26 awards list. Indian Hill's junior earned second-team recognition in a group otherwise filled with seniors. The conference scoring table lists him with 215 points in 21 games, a 10.2 average, and 73.8 percent shooting at the foul line.
The production behind the outlook
Specific games add depth to that season line. The official February 13 box score records 15 points, three rebounds and two assists in Indian Hill's 60–53 win over Reading. A January Flyin' to the Hoop preview also noted Smith's 31-point performance in the season opener against Huntington Expression Prep. He later appeared among the District 16 honorable mention selections in a March report published by Roger Bacon athletics. That combination gives his Class of 2027 story both conference recognition and identifiable performances.
What to watch in 2026–27
Indian Hill's next season will have a different shape with several 2025–26 seniors moving on. That makes Smith's established varsity experience particularly relevant, though the new roster will decide the exact responsibilities. The useful questions are how consistently he can sustain the scoring and how he handles the attention that comes with being a returning honoree. His previous results offer a credible reason to watch the Braves' next chapter without needing to predict an award or a particular finish.
