Braden Smith named 2022 Indiana Mr. Basketball
The Class of 2022 has had tremendous athletic success. As seniors, our hard working student athletes have earned the 2022 6A Football State Runner-up title, the Boys Basketball Team won the first sectional championship in school history, and numerous athletes have broken records and earned All-State accolades in almost every sport! And now, our spring athletes are already breaking records and getting nods as teams and players to watch!
Amazingly, this school year, we have had a finalist for Mr. Football in Micah Hauser, a finalist for Miss Basketball in Alyssa Crockett, and the 2022 Indiana Mr. Basketball in Braden Smith.
Braden is the first boys basketball player in Westfield's 105-year history to be named to the Indiana All-Star team. Braden set Westfield career records for scoring (1,629 points) and assists (453). He shot 251-for-587 (42.8%) from the 3-point line for his career and will continue his basketball career at Purdue University next fall. Congratulations on your incredible success, Braden!!
