Hazelwood Central Hawks Hire New Offensive Line Coach
The Hazelwood Central Hawks have hired former Parkway North assistant coach, John Smith, to lead their offensive line ahead of the upcoming season. The Hawks finished 5-6 last year in Class 6, District 2 and are looking to bounce back in a competitive Missouri high school football landscape. Smith's hiring is seen as a key move in the Hawks' efforts to improve their run game, which struggled to gain traction in 2025. With several key linemen returning, Smith's expertise is expected to pay dividends in the coming season. The Hawks have also been actively recruiting in the St. Louis area, targeting top talent to bolster their roster. As the team prepares for August camp, fans are eager to see the impact of Smith's leadership on the Hawks' offense.
