Congratulations to the 2026 Stratford Athletic Hall of Fame Inductees: 2009-2012 Varsity Softball Teams and Jonathan Hefner, Class of 2014.

2009-2012 Varsity Softball Teams
Few teams in Stratford athletics history have matched the sustained success of the 2009–2012 Varsity Softball Teams. During this remarkable four-year run, the Eagles recorded more than 100 victories and captured four consecutive GISA State Championships—an unmatched achievement in Stratford fast-pitch softball history.

Led by Coach Jeff Treadway, these teams established a championship culture built on talent, hard work, and leadership. They produced numerous All-State players, collegiate athletes, and record-setting performances, while earning every fast-pitch softball state championship in Stratford Academy history. Their legacy remains one of the greatest dynasties in Stratford athletics and continues to inspire Eagle athletes today.

Jonathan Hefner, Class of 2014
Known as one of the most accomplished multi-sport athletes in recent Stratford history, Jonathan Hefner ’14 earned four-year letterman status in football, basketball, baseball, and track. His versatility and competitive drive made him a standout wherever he competed.

On the football field, Jonathan delivered one of the greatest seasons in school history, setting single-season school records with 1,024 receiving yards and 19 touchdown receptions. He was named The Telegraph All-Middle Georgia GISA Player of the Year and earned All-State honors.

Jonathan’s success extended across every sport he played. He was an All-State performer in basketball and baseball, helped lead the Eagles to the 2014 State Basketball Championship, and was a member of four state championship track teams. Through his leadership, character, and ability to perform in the biggest moments, Jonathan left a lasting legacy on Stratford athletics.

The induction ceremony will take place on Friday, October 2, during Alumni Weekend as we celebrate two remarkable athletic accomplishments in Stratford's history.
