"If coaching everyone was like coaching Kirby, I'd probably still be doing it" Looking through the 11Alive News archives and found a 2018 story featuring Sonny and Sharon Smart talking about their son Kirby ahead of the National Championship Proud parents. Rest in Peace Sonny.

@11AliveNews My heart is breaking 💔😭 I can't even imagine losing my father.... Rest high Sonny 🫶

Thank you for sharing this.
