Ruthie Smith is Faulkner’s high-motor, double-double threat
Ruthie Smith has emerged as a frontcourt anchor for Faulkner, highlighted by a career-high 31 points in the 2025-26 season and multiple games where she piled up points, rebounds, assists, and steals rather than just scoring. In the 2024-25 season, she was a stat-line monster who averaged 12.5 points and 12.5 rebounds per game on ESPN’s team stats page, and Faulkner’s staff praised her continued growth while noting her value in big moments. At 6-foot and listed as a forward, she looks like a fit for teams wanting toughness, versatility, and relentless effort.
