"We had unprecedented interest in our head coaching job and a host of really strong candidates for the position," says Schatz. "It's a testament to the program that Coach Everton helped build, the great kids and families in our program and the exciting investments we've made in recent years in the baseball program (completely rebuilt Beach Field) and Feehan athletics overall. And Coach Breen stood out as a perfect option for Feehan. He is the right coach at the right time for the right program."
"The Bishop Feehan community is something special, and we are going to make that community very proud. I look forward to building a championship level program which will make our community and alumni proud. Win Now. Win Forever. Go Shamrocks," said Breen."I know some of the kids and families already, and I can't wait to get to know everyone. We are going to play together, play hard and smart and play with pride."
