Coaching Staff Ned Scaduto Head Coach Ned enters his fifth season as head coach of the Hawks following several seasons as an assistant at Southeastern. Appointed Head Coach in 2002, Ned inherited a team struggling through many seasons of mediocrity, hoping to bring the program to a level of respectability. After suffering through back to back losing seasons, hard work would pay off as the Southeastern Regional Hawks brought home the school's first ever state title in any sport as they defeated the Hyde Park Blue Stars, 13-0, in the 2004 Division 4 EMass Super Bowl. Ned was also recognized by his peers as he was voted Coach of the Year in the Mayflower League. Not a man to rest on his laurels, last season Ned lead the Hawks back to the Division 4 EMass Super Bowl where they successfully defended their title, beating the O'Bryant Tigers, 28-7. His hard work and dedication did not go unnoticed as Ned was named Coach of the Year in the Mayflower League, New England Patriots High School Coach of the Week and the Division 4 Coach of the Year by the Boston Globe. From his many years as an assistant with the Apponequet Pop Warner to his many seasons patrolling the sidelines at Southeastern as both as assistant and defensive coordinator, Ned has developed the knowledge to be successful while developing a genuine love of the game. It is this knowledge and love of the game that he works to instill into each and every player. Ned recently retired after 30 years of teaching at Southeastern in the school's adult education HVAC program. Outside of football, Ned is also the school's head varsity baseball coach. In his spare time Ned is an avid follower of football and baseball and somehow finds time to golf and play softball. Bill Clifford Defensive Coordinator, Linebackers Bill, or as the players affectionately refer to as "Coach Cliff", enters the fifth year of his second stint with the Hawks. He previously coached the Hawks from 1988-1992. Before coaching at Southeastern, Clifford was a member of the Bridgewater State College coaching staff from 1968-1975. His stint at Bridgewater State College was preceded by four seasons as a player for the Bears and two seasons at Brockton High School. Two seasons ago, with Clifford making the calls, the Southeastern defense would prove to be the toughest in the conference. The Hawks defense was tops in scoring defense and allowed only two backs to reach the century mark in rushing. The dominance of the Hawks defense was never more evident than in the Hawks first trip to the Division 4 EMass Super Bowl. Boston South champions, the Hyde Park Blue Stars, would struggle all night as they gained a mere 39 yards on 33 plays and had two passes picked off along the way. The Hawks defense would continue it's dominance in last season's Super Bowl as it held the O'Bryant Tigers two eight offensive plays in the entire first half. The Southeastern defense dominated from start to finish as the Hawks intercepted four passes, the last being returned 30 yards for a touchdown to seal the game. Bill is currently retired after teaching in the Brockton School System from 1968-2005.
