Page 8 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, SEpTEmbER 19, 2025 Tide football blows out another league rival to remain undefeated after two games Following the triumph over Lynn Classical, Everett gets ready for powerhouse Xaverian Friday night in Westwood By Joe McConnell A fter only two games, the Everett Crimson Tide football team has certainly been creating shockwaves throughout the Greater Boston League (GBL). The Crimson Tide is definitely playing hard for their new (old) head coach Rob DiLoreto, and the scoreboard reflects it. They have simply been dominating, outscoring the opposition by a combined total of 76-13 that includes last Friday night’s (Sept. 12) home win against Lynn Classical at Everett Veterans Memorial Stadium, 42-6. Needless to say, DiLoreto is thrilled with the play of his team on the gridiron so far. “I’m most pleased with the consistent improvement that our team is making to date,” he said. “Our players are working hard to trust the process, while engaging in quality practice time every day, and my assistant coaches are also seeing improvement at every position (across the board). But we have also identified areas that need Tide’s Jamauri Dulin makes a nifty catch while being face masked by a Ram’s defender. immediate improvement, and the players are working hard to cleanup those areas on offense, defense and special teams.” The points were spread out nicely against the Rams, but it all starts with the players up front. “The offensive line did a nice job in the run game, opening up lanes for our backs, and as a result, Tyler Freni (6 carries, 65 yards), Joao Barrerois (8 carries, 67 yards), Jamauri Dulin (4 carries, 100 yards) and Steven Thomas (4 carries, J& • Reliable Mowing Service • Spring & Fall Cleanups • Mulch & Edging • Sod or Seed Lawns • Shrub Planting & Trimming • Water & Sewer Repairs Joe Pierotti, Jr. 33 yards) combined to gain almost 300 yards on the ground,” said DiLoreto. “On the other side of the ball, Yael Fanidi, Nathan Fortune and Sammy Lacombe led the way in tackles, holding a tough Lynn team to just six points.” Both teams played to a scoreless tie in the first quarter, but the Tide made up for it by scoring two touchdowns in each of the final three stanzas for a total of 42 points.

The sophomore quarterback then hooked up with Jeremiah Joseph for two more points on the conversion try. The Rams came right back to score their lone touchdown game of the game, but it was all Everett after that. Freni (2 completions for touchdowns, 63 yards) first completed a 26yard touchdown pass to Joseph to retake the lead, but the extra point was no good. The home team was now up by eight again, 14-6. It was close at halftime, but that didn’t last long. Jamauri Dulin scampered 66 yards to account for Everett’s first score in the third quarter. The offense added another one before the end of the period on a 37-yard strike from Freni to Dulin. Barreiros tacked on two more points on the conversion run. He then scored the next six points on a 15-yard run to the endzone in the fourth quarter, before adding another successful extra point. Thomas closed out the scoring in the game with an 18-yard run, followed by another good boot through the uprights from Barreiros. The Everett boys couldn’t savor the victory for long, because they know there’s much more work to be done to get ready for perennial Super Bowl contender Xaverian Friday night (Sept. 19) in Westwood, starting at 6 p.m. “The (non-league) Hawks are the top-ranked team in the state, and they have earned that position,” said DiLoreto. “They are talented, fast, physical and disciplined in all three phases of the game, and we know that we have a huge challenge ahead of us this week.”
