GREATER BOSTON LEAGUE NOTEBOOK: Fall season is just around the corner for local teams A couple of big losses for the GBL as a pair of former Mustangs have left us: Ray Buckland and 'Buddy' Kelley By Steve Freker F all season is the longest by the calendar, and for fall student-athletes, it is also the longest wait of the year for preseason, as they are in high anticipation. Football and soccer are the two sports which draw the most participation, numbers-wise, in all of the sports offered in the Greater Boston League. Everett High and Revere High featured the highest numbers across the league in football in this most recent, much-abbreviated "Fall 2" season held this past spring. First-year Everett High head man Rob DiLoreto had close to 60 players in uniform for the "Fall 2" and the Revere High Patriots and longtime head coach Lou Cicatelli welcomed ever more players than that to the shortened season. Both are expecting even higher rosters this fall as they eagerly await the 2021 campaign. For the high school football lovers in this area, and there are many, this has been a veritable smorgasbord of activity, with the basically back-to-back football seasons in 2021. A lot of the action has never stopped! Ray Buckland was a Greater Boston League legend in basketball and baseball for Medford High from 1974-1976.

Exilhomme has assembled a staff of all former Malden High standouts like himself, and says he is excited about the "buzz" being generated in Tornado-land. Preseason football practice for conditioning begins just two weeks from today on Friday, August 20. Golf also begins August 20, with all other sports able to start preseason practices on Monday, August 23. NOTEBOOK | SEE PAGE 24
