Revere 781-629-3798 PARKING AMAZING WATER VIEWS C Players recognized at Crimson Tide football banquet By Greg Phipps oming off another season in which the team was a state title contender, Everett High School head football coach Theluxon Pierre encouraged the outgoing seniors to be true to themselves at the Crimson Tide’s annual football banquet on Sunday, March 8, at the high school. “Be you, be respectful of others and make sure you’re always yourself. If someone does not respect you for who you are, then they’re not a true friend.” In his second season as head coach, Pierre guided the Tide to a 9-3 overall fi nish in 2019, which included a Div. 1 North quarterfinal playoff victory and a controversial two-point overtime loss to Central Catholic of Lawrence in the semifi - nal. Pierre said that following in the footsteps of the legendary head coaches that have come before him, most notably John DiBiaso, who led the Tide to 12 Super Bowl championships in 22 years, is a matter of carrying on the tradition. “We’re forever grateful to the previous coaches for making the program what it is today. We’re here to just maintain it,” Pierre said. “You can’t replace the people who have come before us, they’re legends.” Pierre took over the head position in 2018 on the heels of the Tide’s 12th state title in 2017. In his fi rst season, Pierre’s squad went undefeated until losing a heartbreaker to Central Catholic, 2320, in the semifi nal. The coach expressed his appreciation to parents and the players. “I want to thank the parents for their support and allowing their kids to play football with all the concerns about concussions, and showEverett senior lineman John Malloy shares a moment with assistant coach Greg Bluestein after receiving the team’s Unsung Hero award for the 2019 season.
