Hazelwood Central Hawks' Head Coach Signs Contract Extension

Hazelwood Central head coach, John Smith, has signed a contract extension through the 2028 season, the school announced Thursday. Smith's extension comes after back-to-back playoff runs for the Class 6 Hawks, who have compiled a 22-8 record over the past two seasons. The move is seen as a significant boost for the program's recruiting efforts, as it provides stability and continuity for potential recruits. Smith's extension also sets the stage for a competitive 2026 season, as the Hawks look to build on their recent success and challenge for a district title.
