Hawks Coach Signs Extension Through 2028
📍 Xaverian Brothers Hawks·Tuesday, July 7, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
Xaverian Brothers High School head football coach, Joe Murphy, has signed a contract extension through the 2028 season. Murphy's two-year playoff run has cemented his status as a top coach in Division I, Westwood. The Hawks posted a 9-3 record in 2024 and a 10-2 record in 2025. The extension is expected to bolster the program's recruiting efforts, as top prospects will be drawn to the stability and success Murphy has brought to the program. With the MIAA's new competitive balance rules, the Hawks will face increased competition from neighboring schools, but Murphy's experience and leadership will be crucial in navigating the changes. The Hawks will enter the 2026 season as one of the top contenders in the division.
