Xaverian names alumnus as varsity basketball coach
Xaverian High School’s new boys’ varsity basketball coach won’t have to spend time familiarizing himself with the school. Tom Burns is a Xaverian graduate and has spent more than three decades there as a teacher, guidance counselor and dean.
Burns also directed the school’s summer basketball camp for many years.
Burns, who graduated from Xaverian High School in 1983, succeeds Jack Alesi, a legendary figure in Xaverian sports history who served as head basketball coach for 21 years. The appointment of Burns was announced last week by Xaverian President Robert Alesi.
