THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, APRIL 30, 2021 Page 7 ~ LETTER TO THE EDITOR ~ I would like to congratulate State Representative Joe McGonagle on his recent promotion in the MassachuEverett football opens season with a 42-12 win over Lynn English Tide running game, defense lead way to a win in Coach DiLoreto's debut By Jason Mazzilli I t was a totally diff erent look and a lot of "fi rsts" during Friday night’s season opener for Everett High Crimson Tide football. First off , it was the only time in the Tide's storied history that the football season is being held in the spring. That's due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused a shift of the traditional Fall Season from fall 2020 to the spring of 2021. Another big fi rst was the debut of fi rst-year Everett head coach Rob DiLoreto, who was appointed in November to lead the Tide football fortunes. DiLoreto is only the fi fth Everett head coach since the 1950s, covering nearly 70 seasons. With all the "new" items on the agenda what was all too familiar Friday was a big Everett win, 42-12, fueled by a potent running game and a solid defense. It was also the opener for the newly-formed Greater Boston League, with Lynn English coming over from the Northeastern Conference (NEC). Lynn English scored first when QB Jessie Maggs ran for a 9-yard touchdown in the fi rst quarter. The visitors exploded on their sideline and led after the fi rst quarter, 6-0. But after the fi rst quarter, it was all Everett, all night. The Tide would go on to score 36 straight points, leading 20-6 at halftime and then tacking on two more scores in the third quarter. Jayden Clerveaux led the way for Everett with close to 100 yards rushing and scoring three touchdowns, fi nishing of three time-eating drives for Everett, two in the second quarter and a third in the third quarter. Junior Ishmael Zamor also scored a touchdown for Everett, on a 14-yard touchdown run on a pitch that helped build the Tide lead in the secsetts Legislature. He is now Chairman of the Operations, Facilities and Security Committee, and Everett residents should be proud of his accomplishment. All state legislators aspire a chairmanship position as they further their careers in the “House”, and Representative McGonagle has reached this plateau. The next time you see Representative McGonagle, address him as Mr. Chairman and watch the proud smile come across his face. Along with Senate Assistant Majority Leader, Senator Sal DiDomenico, whose accomplishments are too many to list, the City of Everett’s interests are well represented at the Massachusetts State House.

The Tide defense was especially strong after the fi rst quarter, basically shutting down the Lynn English attack until the visitors scored against the Everett reserves in the fi nal minutes. It was led by Josiah Stewart who had seven tackles and three sacks on the game. Everett senior Tyrese Baptiste ran for two 2-point conversions to help pace the Tide attack. **** Everett has a league "bye" this week will host Revere who defeated Lynn Classical, 18-0, in its season opener, on Friday, May 7 at 6:00 p.m. Everett will play its third and fi nal game of the season on Friday, May 15, against either Lynn Classical or Medford.
