    Eighth Grader and 13 year old Jai Smith is on the Bishop Ludden (Syracuse, NY) HIgh School Varsity Basketball team. The Team is currently ranked # 12 in the State.
    This year he is the first substitute off the bench.
    Next year, he is sure to be a starter.

    Do you think his height of 6' 7" is part of his success
