THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, July 14, 2023 Page 15 GREATER BOSTON | FROM PAGE 14 Levine, we run several well-attended, free baseball camps for younger kids each year in the winter and the summer,” Coach Freker said. “We are very happy about the excitement building around baseball in the city of Malden right now and we are committed to working closely with organizations, parents and players to see that increase,” the Malden High coach added. “We can’t wait to have all these excellent young players in our baseball program when they get to Malden High School,” Athletic Director Conefrey said. “We promise their parents and families we will do everything we can to ensure they develop into the best student-athletes they can be.” **** Justin Flores named new Everett High Head Football Coach; third new coach in five years since DiBiaso left after the 2017 season John DiBiaso Jr. was the one of the longest serving head coaches in Everett High School history. He guided the Crimson Tide from 1992-2028, 26 years in all, with 12 Super Bowl State Championships. Before that? Jim “Tank” Agnetta, another former Everett High football standout, led the Tide for 9 years – 19831991. How about before THAT? Coach Amerino “Moody” Sarno was the football boss – seemingly for life, it appeared. He took over in 1955, after a sterling college career at Fordham, and coached until 1982 – 28 years – and with an impressive record of 128-116, including four state titles, all in the 1960s. All that has changed in a hurry as of late for the Everett High football program. After going with only THREE coaches in 62 YEARS (!!!) ... for the past fi ve seasons, longevity has vanished from the Everett High football coaching lexicon, disappearing without a trace. Last week, for the third time in six years, a new head coach was named for Everett High football, with former UMaine assistant football coach Justin Flores being named the third new football head coach at Everett High in only fi ve seasons. Former Tide star Theluxon Pierre took the reins directly after DiBiaso for two seasons: 2018 and 2019. Between Thanksgiving and into the midst of COVID-19 in 2020, it MOODY SARNO for 28 YEARS: Legendary former Everett High coach Amerino “Moody” Sarno is the longest-serving Everett football coach, from 1955-1982 – parts of four decades! (Courtesy/Wikipedia) was announced that Pierre was no longer head coach. No details were released nor speculated. In January 2021, it was announced that a former Tide star from the 1980s, Rob DiLoreto, was being named new Everett football head coach. DiLoreto resigned unexpectedly with little detail released in late May, just a few weeks ago. Now comes newcomer Justin Flores. For the fi rst time in hmmmm... EVER??... a head football coach who did NOT play for Everett High has been named football boss. The Woburn native confi rmed that he has accepted the head football position at Everett, replacing DiLoreto, who stepped down after three successful seasons. Flores grew up in Woburn and followed a family tradition of playing football for former Tanner coaching legend Rocky Nelson from 2006-2010. Flores did a postgraduate year at Tilton before heading to UMaine, where he played from 20122015, lettering in each of his four seasons as a wide receiver and punt returner. He spent a year as an assistant at Bentley before returning to his college alma mater for a six-year run as assistant coach and recruiting coordinator. There is little doubt that those who follow and support Everett High football fervently hope that what has become a Tide coaching merrygo-round for one of the alltime high-profi le programs of ANY sport in Massachusetts comes to an end. They’re hoping Justin Flores is here for the long run. **** Revere High quartet are named National High School AllAmericans two ‘Top Three’ in the nation performances in Nike Nationals Hats off to the most successful outdoor track relay team in both Revere High and Greater Boston League history!

The foursome set a new school record for the Sprint Medley Relay (which is two legs of 200 meters, a 400 meter and an 800 meter) in a time of 3:37.18 and smashed their existing school record in the 4 x 400 with a clocking of 3:27.82.

Governor Maura Healey, Speaker Ron Mariano, and Senate President Karen Spilka need to wake up to these warnings that continue to focus on Massachusetts high taxes and uncompetitivess,” fi nished Craney. MassFiscal strongly urges Governor Healey and lawmakers to pass tax cuts, not water down or change 62F, and reject any attempts to enact a marriage penalty, which would apply the millionaire’s tax to non-millionaires.
