Surrounded by his family, Ryan Smith passed away on March 22, concluding his battle with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
Smith was a basketball standout at Lampeter-Strasburg (L-S) and earned L-L League Section 2 MVP honors his senior year. He went on to play basketball at East Stroudsburg University, where he averaged 16.9 points and eight rebounds per game as a freshman. The Warriors made it to the PSAC semifinals and the NCAA Division II tournament in 2018-19. He was also named PSAC East Freshman of the Year and was recognized as a second-team All-PSAC East pick.
"We all mourn with Ryan's family and will do all we can to support his teammates and all of our student-athletes during this time," East Stroudsburg athletic director Gary R. Gray said.
