But we’ll use this game as a lesson that we can’t take any opponent for granted if we want to get to where we’re trying to go.” The game against Worcester North was scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 7, at home, but it had to be postponed, because of another winter storm. It was also supposed to be the team’s Senior Night, but all of that pomp and circumstance was moved to Monday night. “We put together a gritty effort to beat a tough Worcester North squad,” said Boyce. “We were locked-in defensively to hold Worcester to 40 points. This win gives us the kind of momentum that we need as we head into the final few games on the regular season schedule.” Vasquez (19 points) and Jayden Alsaindor (17) paced the offensive attack against Worcester North. But Boyce was quick to point out that “it was a total team effort,” which got them back into the win column. Following the home game against Revere on Feb. 12 after press deadline, the Everett boys will be heading to Newton to face non-league host Newton South on Friday night, Feb. 13, starting at 6:30 p.m. They will then wrap up the regular season with two road games against non-league Beverly (Feb. 18, 7 p.m.) and league rival Lynn Classical (Feb. 19, 4:30 p.m.) next week. Girls drop two home contests The Everett High girls basketball team (5-9) dropped two home games last week to Somerville (6041, Feb. 3) and non-league Lawrence two nights later, 63-56. Kat Landaverde Vazquez was the star of the game for Everett against Somerville after coming up with 11 points and seven rebounds. Casey Martinez also turned in a fine performance with nine points and four steals. “Despite the final score, we overcame adversity to remain relentless until the final horn sounded,” said coach Riley Dunn. “We had players step up like Ashley Heath, who started her first varsity game, and went on to play with incredible hustle on defense and composure on offense.” As a team, the Tide played great basketball together for two quarters, according to Dunn, before running out of gas. “We did a lot of great stuff out there, as we continue to get better,” she added. Dunn also mentioned that she remains so proud and fortunate to coach this group. “I know after a loss they are always ready to make adjustments, and having these types of athletes, who are coachable and mentally tough to get through the challenges of a season, is a gift,” she said. The Tide have since taken on host Revere on Feb. 12 after press deadline, which began a road trip that also includes a game against Lynn Classical Friday night, Feb. 13, starting at 6 p.m. They will then head to Haverhill Sunday (Feb. 15) for a non-league encounter against the Hillies, beginning at noon. Gloucester (Feb. 17, 1 p.m.), Lynn Classical (Feb. 18, 1 p.m.) and Worcester North (Feb. 19, 1 p.m.) will then come to Everett during school vacation week to close out the regular season schedule. The Tide’s postseason hopes remain alive with little margin for error.
