Centennial Hawks Coach Signs Contract Extension Through 2029
Centennial High School head football coach, John Smith, has agreed to a contract extension through the 2029 season. The move comes on the heels of back-to-back playoff appearances for the 6A Las Cruces program, which finished with a 9-3 record last season. Smith's extension is seen as a vote of confidence in his leadership and a signal that the Hawks are poised to remain competitive in the highly competitive District 3-6A. Recruiting efforts are expected to intensify, with Smith and his staff targeting top talent in the Las Cruces area to bolster the team's roster. The contract extension also sets the stage for a potential run at the state championship, with Smith's experience and stability at the helm expected to be a key factor in the team's success.
