Hazelwood Central Hawks Defensive Coordinator Rumored to Leave for Rival School
Hazelwood Central Hawks defensive coordinator, Mike Smith, is reportedly in talks to join Parkway Central Patriots as their new defensive coordinator. Smith has been with the Hawks since 2018, a tenure that saw the team win two district championships and finish with a 24-8 record over the past three seasons. If Smith departs, the Hawks will be left with a significant void on defense, particularly in the secondary. The recruiting impact could be substantial, as Smith has been instrumental in landing top defensive recruits for the Hawks. The Patriots, on the other hand, will be bolstering their defense with a coach who has a proven track record of success in the area.
