Smith’s Son Joins Stars on High School Football Team
Posted by Rod
Tickets to see high school football games at Oaks Christian School in Westlake, California have become a hot item thanks to the team’s new recruit, Will Smith’s son Trey.
Trey, 13, is Smith’s son from his first marriage to Sheree Zampino which ended in 1995. The teenager joins a star-studded team of rookies which also includes the offspring of American football legend Joe Montana and ice hockey great Wayne Gretzky.
The youngsters’ fathers and their celebrity friends are now expected to be fixtures at next season’s games, but the Lions players are used to the famous faces in the stands.
Team star Chris Coyle says, “Last year Will Smith was out there with Tom Cruise (and) we got a little distracted before games and then we just didn’t let that get to us.
“It’s cool that they’re out there but we’ve got to focus on football.”
Coach Bill Redell insists its a pleasure to have the kids of celebrities on his team, admitting his starry trio are perfect students and players. He says, “They’re great role models and, if you have a daughter, you’d want her to date these kids.”
It’s great that these celebs are publicly supporting their kids, but hopefully it really won’t take any of the shine away from these young players and the game itself. It would be a shame to these kids if it did.
Chris Coyle is my nephew. I am so proud of him!!!
