Read full article: Thunder & Lightning: Skillern, Smith provide Second Baptist School punch out of backfieldHOUSTON - Terry Pirtle and the Second Baptist School have secured the services of Smith & Skillern. Rather, it's junior running backs Eli Smith and Everett Skillern, who have paced the Eagles' offense the past two weeks. In fact, the duo has combined to score 12 touchdowns in the past two games for Second Baptist School, each scoring three times apiece in each outing, including in a 49-0 homecoming victory over Lutheran South Academy on Friday night. Last year, Skillern and Smith were just sophomores at Second Baptist School. What Second Baptist School head coach Terry Pirtle enjoys the most about Smith and Skillern is the fact that he gets to pencil them onto the depth chart again in 2021.
