Brian Smith now sits atop the 2014 Cleveland Metroparks Player of the Year race.
Smith and his partner Ryan Stefanski finished second at the Bill Barbour Cup last Saturday at Sleepy Hollow. That, combined with their victory at Big Met the week before, has raced them both up the leaderboard.
Smith with 122 points is now 7 points ahead of second place Jonathan Reimer and Stefanski is now 5th with 97 points.
With the Tour Championship at Manakiki this Saturday, it is David Sotka who has the best opportunity to take the crown for a third year in a row.
Neither Brian Smith or Jonathan Reimer are entered in the Tour Championship. With a limited field, if Sotka finishes third or higher he is guaranteed to win. If he finishes fourth or lower, that opens the door for several players including Brian Smith, Jack Garswood and Paul LaGrotteria…
