Page 12 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – Friday, January 17, 2020 Everett boys roll to double-digit wins A By Greg Phipps fter opening the 2019-20 campaign with a loss, the Everett High School boys’ basketball team had notched wins in six of its last seven contests entering this week. The latest victory was a 67-52 win over Malden last Tuesday. Though the Malden win came by 15 points, head coach Stanley Chamblain thought the effort could have been better. “We were lackadaisical at times, lethargic on both ends of the floor when it came to execution and defensive intensity.” Chamblain said there were moments when his team showed the ability to be the type of team they can be, and said the less-than-stellar performance overall provided teaching moments for what’s in store the rest of the season. “Nonetheless, we fought till the end and secured the victory,” he concluded. Dimitry Philippe led all scorers with 13 points in a 68-53 home win over Lynn Classical back on Jan. 3. Chamblain called it a “good team victory” when Everett did all the necessary things to come out on top. The Crimson Tide boys, who stood at 6-2 overall entering this week’s action, hosted Somerville on Tuesday winning 53-34 and resume play on Monday when they participate in the Boston Amateur Basketball Club’s Martin Luther King Day Classic at Cathedral High School.
