King Philip Names Anthony Vizakis New Football Coach

By HockomockSports.com Staff
King Philip has promoted from within for its next football coach.
Anthony Vizakis, who has been with the Warriors for the past four seasons and spent the last three as offensive coordinator, has been hired as the new head coach of King Philip football.
Vizakis takes over for Brian Lee, who stepped down after 21 seasons leading the Warriors. During his time on staff, Vizakis has helped continue KP’s tradition as one of the top programs in the Hockomock League.
“I am truly honored and excited to be named the next head coach of King Philip football,” Vizakis said in a message to HockomockSports. “I look to continue the standard of excellence and hard work that has been set in place by Coach Lee and our staff, as well as the incredible young men who have come through this program. Myself and the players are excited and ready for this new chapter, and we will continue the culture of playing hard-nosed, tough KP football.”
Vizakis joined the KP staff in 2022 with more than 12 years of coaching experience, including three seasons as the head coach at Milford from 2017-2019. Prior to taking over the Scarlet Hawks, Vizakis was Milford’s associate head coach and offensive coordinator under Joe Todd. He also served as Franklin’s offensive coordinator and had coaching stops at Holliston, Durfee, and Bellingham.
A Bellingham native, Vizakis played at Bishop Feehan, where he was part of three Super Bowl-winning teams and served as a senior captain. He went on to play at Bridgewater State, where he was a four-year player and senior captain for the Bears.

Milford Names DiVitto As New Athletic Director

By HockomockSports.com Staff
Milford has named Steven DiVitto as its athletic director, removing the interim tag from the longtime Scarlet Hawks coach.
DiVitto, a Milford native and 2003 Milford High graduate, has served as the interim athletic director since late February. Prior to taking over the role, DiVitto spent the past five years as Dean of Students at Milford High School and also served as coordinator for an alternative pathway program.
DiVitto was the head coach of the Scarlet Hawks’ softball team from 2014-2025, leading Milford to a state championship in 2017 and earning HockomockSports Coach of the Year honors that same season. DiVitto also serves as the head coach of the Milford Legion baseball team, a position he has held for the past 12 years, and led the program to a state championship in 2014.
Press release from Milford Public Schools:
Milford, MA – The Milford Public Schools is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Steven DiVitto to the role of Athletic Director, effective immediately. DiVitto was named to the position in an interim capacity in late February. He now takes over in a full-time capacity.
Prior to taking on the Interim AD position, DiVitto served as the Dean of Students at Milford High School for the past five years. He has also served as coordinator for an alternative pathway program for high school students for several years, and a high school teacher for approximately five years. After graduating from MHS in 2003, DiVitto obtained his Bachelor’s Degree from Assumption University in Organizational Communications in 2007, and his Master’s Degree from American International College in Special Education in 2017.
In the realm of Athletics, DiVitto served as Head Coach of the Girls’ Softball team at MHS between 2014 and 2025, resigning prior to this past season to take on the Interim AD role. DiVitto also serves as Head Coach of the Milford Legion Baseball team, a position he has held for the past 12 years. Of note, DiVitto’s teams have won state championships in softball (2017) and Legion baseball (2014), and he has been recognized as state Softball Coach of the Year (2017).
“As a proud alumnus, former player, and coach who grew up in this community, stepping into the permanent role of Athletic Director is an honor. Having experienced Milford Athletics from the field to the sidelines, this leadership position has been a long-term goal of mine,” said DiVitto. “The rich legacy of Milford Athletics is something I deeply respect, and I am fully committed to upholding and building upon the high standards our community expects. I look forward to leading our programs with passion, purpose, and an unwavering dedication to our student-athletes and the community I am proud to call home.”
Dr. Josh Otlin, Principal of Milford High School, shared, “Milford High School has a long and distinguished history of success, not only in athletic competitions but in producing student-athletes that are community leaders and champions in the classroom. Steven is a distinguished alumnus, successful coach, and respected school leader. I have no doubt that he will continue and enhance the tradition of Scarlet Hawk Pride that our student-athletes and coaches have cultivated for generations.”
DiVitto takes over a Milford Public School Athletic Department that includes:
- 27 Varsity teams
- 19 sub-Varsity teams
- seven middle school level teams
- three Unified/Special Olympics teams
Milford High School is a member of the highly competitive and very successful Hockomock League, where member schools routinely compete for state championships in nearly every boys’ and girls’ sport.
“Having someone who understands the traditions and embodies the championship culture of Milford Athletics was very important to me when we hired our next AD. Steven checks those boxes,” said Dr. Craig Consigli, Superintendent of Schools. “I am very excited to work closely with Steven as the next Milford Public Schools’ Athletic Director. He is a Scarlet Hawk through and through. Having grown up in the Milford community, and having competed and coached at a championship level, he knows what it takes to win. Milford Athletics is a great source of pride for everyone in our community. We share similar goals for the Athletics Department and I am looking forward to seeing our programs and athletes flourish.”
