At the Muscogee County School District media day on July 31, 2026, Hardaway High School’s head coach Reginald Wedner addressed a gathering of local reporters and community leaders, setting the tone for the Hawks’ 2026 campaign.
Emphasis on Growth and Competition
Wedner made it clear that the program will enter the season with the same lofty expectations that have defined the Hawks in recent years, aiming to translate that ambition into tangible results on the field.
The coaching staff has identified offensive and defensive upgrades as priority areas, planning to revamp schemes and install new techniques that can keep opponents guessing.
Recruitment strategies will also be sharpened, with an eye on bringing in talent that fits the team’s evolving identity, while a robust development program is designed to maximize the potential of existing roster members.
The Hawks will test themselves against some of the region’s top‑tier programs, a schedule that promises both excitement and challenge, and Wedner stressed that community support will remain a cornerstone of the team’s effort to achieve success.
