Patrick Murphy seems to like challenges.
Murphy took over a Dracut (Mass.) High School program even though Dracut has the smallest enrollment of any school in the Merrimack Valley Conference. He led Dracut to a 27-17 record in his four seasons there. Dracut was 9-35 in the four seasons prior to Murphy's arrival. He even added Massachusetts powerhouses Brockton and Everett to Dracut's 2008 schedule.
Murphy's next assignment will be to spark some interest at St. Anselm College, a Division II school that announced it had hired Murphy as its head coach Friday. Murphy replaces Ken Knapczyk, who resigned in January.
St. Anselm was 0-10 last season and was outscored 486-117. The Hawks have lost their last 29 games.
