The Tide played four games, winning two. They opened up last week with a loss to visiting Lynn English on Jan. 10, 39-23. But they bounced right back two nights later to trounce host Somerville going away, 3914. They then completed this three-game stretch last week with a loss against Malden Catholic, 71-28. But once again, it didn’t take them long to get back on the winning track, when they took down Revere on Tuesday night, Jan. 17, 49-47. “We beat Revere in a tough battle of a game,” said coach Riley Dunn. “It was a great team win under pressure. Senior captain Kayley Rossi had 17 points and four assists to help lead us on the court. Junior Malaica Guillaume chipped in with nine points, eight rebounds and three steals, while playing a key role in this win.” In the Lynn English game, Rossi poured in 11 points to lead the way. Emillia Maria Babcock was the leader in the Somerville game with 10 points and eight steals. Rossi poured in 14 points against the Lancers to close out the week.

In order to avoid too many games in one week, coach Stanley Chamblain pushed back Tuesday’s home game versus Revere to Feb. 15 after cancelling Monday’s St. Mary’s of Lynn game. They faced visiting Medford Thursday night, before playing non-league Beverly at the TD Garden on Saturday, Jan. 21, in the annual Andrew James Lawson Foundation Invitational, starting at 1:30 p.m. But now back to the Highlanders game last week, the Crimson Tide quintet cruised throughout. They led at halftime, 27-16. With Steven Cordero in early foul trouble, David De Souza stepped it up to pace the offensive attack with 18 points. “It was a breakthrough game for (De Souza). He set the tone from the onset, especially after (Cordero) got into foul trouble,” said Chamblain. “He was aggressive throughout, which created points for himself, as well as his teammates.” Cleevance Erilus accounted for eight points. Allsin Desruisseaux and Jaden Hill chipped in with six apiece. “(Erilus) and (Hill) really picked things up in the second half with Cordero sitting on the bench most of the time again because of foul trouble,” said Chamblain. Chamblain thought his team turned in an excellent collective effort on defense to prevent Somerville from staging a comeback. “They followed the flight of the basketball quite well, while controlling the glass. Most of our points came off the transition,” he added. “They really broke out of their shell to show character playing most of the game without Cordero.” BASKETBALL | SEE PAGE 16 GREATER BOSTON LEAGUE ROUNDUP: GBL Fall All-Star Teams announced Everett QB Kamarri Ellerbe named Greater Boston League ‘Most Valuable Player’ in Football By Steve Freker T he Fall Season was a busy and productive one for many teams in the Greater Boston League (GBL) this year.
