The Lady Patriots WINS | SEE PAGE 16 Patriot boys get back in playoff hunt By Greg Phipps played a very good Saugus team to a near standstill last Thursday at home and then notched wins over Medford and Malden to go to 5-13 on the season. The biggest highlight of the J ust when it looked as if the Revere High School boys’ basketball team had put itself in a precarious situation in terms of making the postseason, the Patriots reversed course and notched three straight victories to pull within four points (two wins) of a playoff berth. A 58-49 win on Monday at home over Malden gave Revere an 8-9 record as of early this week. Early last week, a loss at Peabody, Revere’s fourth consecutive defeat at the time, had left the Patriots sitting at 5-9. The one positive aspect of the Peabody loss was that Revere staged a spirited comeback in the fi nal quarter before falling short at the end. In Monday’s win, the Patriots received double-digit scoring from Dillan Day (17 points) and Crisrael Lithgow (14). Robert Raduazzo added nine points and Calvin Boudreau, six. The Patriots shot 10 of 13 from the foul line and hauled down 31 rebounds, led by John Capozzi’s 11 boards. Monday's triumph was preceded by a 61-50 win at Woburn last Saturday and a 6550 victory at Medford last Friday. Lithgow led the team in scoring in both contests, netting a teamhigh 21 points in the Woburn Lady Patriots senior guard Erika Cheever combined for 54 points in wins over Medford and Malden last week.
