Page 8 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 2, 2026 Crimson Tide football edges perennial superpower BC High on the road; Girls soccer keeps on winning; Boys soccer looks to regain winning form after losing two straight games By Joe McConnell Everett ranks 11th I in early season D-1 poll after big win over the Eaglets n back-to-back weeks, the Everett High football team (2-1) went up against two perennial Catholic Conference powerhouses. The Xaverian Hawks took them to school at the Stadium on Sept. 18 to the tune of 53-6, but they must have learned their lessons well, because the following week they won a close battle at BC High’s James Cotter Field, 22-19. As a result, the Everett boys ended the month of September as the 11th seed in Division 1, according to the Sept. 29 MIAA power rankings, just ahead of the 12th -seeded Eaglets. It was definitely a seminal win for a program that has longed for one seemingly for years, and Coach Rob DiLoreto couldn’t be any happier. “(Last) Friday night’s win was hard fought, and a complete team effort,” he said. “We made big plays in all three phases of the game – offense, defense and special teams – and the players in each group contributed a great deal to this victory.” DiLoreto knows that BC High is traditionally a talented Catholic Conference opponent, and he’s “very proud” of the way his players bounced back from the previous week’s loss to Xaverian. “Our players showed tremendous belief in each other by coming from behind twice (against BC High),” he added. Everett enjoyed a 14-7 lead at halftime. The Eaglets trimmed that lead to one after three, 1413, and took the lead themselves in the final period, 1914, only to see freshman quarterback Michael Walsh (7 completions for 188 yards, 2 touchdowns) take it right back on a 69-yard bomb to Jamauri Dulin (3 receptions for 87 yards). The tandem then hooked up again on the conversion try to account for the final margin of difference. That was Walsh’s second 69yard touchdown pass of the game. He previously found Jeremiah Joseph (3 catches for 80 yards) for a long-range scoring strike in the second quarter. Luca DaSilva then made his second extra point of the first half. The first one came after Tyler Freni’s three-yard run to the endzone earlier in that frame. Throughout the game, Freni carried the ball 19 times for 78 yards, and caught one pass for another 21 yards.

AICPA Personal Financial Specialist Designee chael Walsh connected on “some beautiful passes,” said DiLoreto, “while showing tremendous composure directing our offense.” DiLoreto also singled out running backs Roshon Beloney (6 carries, 39 yards) and Freni for their contributions to the offense, while on defense, linemen Kamari Washum (1 solo tackle, 3 assisted tackles) and Michael James (2 solos, 7 assisted tackles) were solid on Tide freshman quarterback Michael Walsh tosses a pass during recent action. Walsh garnered 7 completions for 188 yards and 2 touchdowns during Everett’s win over BC High.(Advocate file photo) that side of the ball. DiLoreto also mentioned those in the defensive backfield like Godson Dellisme (2 assisted tackles) and Phil Pimenta (1 solo tackle, 8 assisted tackles), who helped slow down the BC High offense. DiLoreto continues to be amazed by the composure of his young quarterback. “I’m very impressed with Michael’s poise as a quarterback,” he said. “He’s doing a nice job of staying in the moment, playing one play at a time, which is helping him stay grounded in each game.Every high school quarterback enjoys a huge growth curve in their first year as a starter, regardless of their age, but being a freshman makes the growth curve even more impactful.His confidence is a key component to his performance and success. I have 100% faith in him that he’ll continue to get even better.” SPORTS | SEE PAGE 9 Law Offices of JOSEPH D. CATALDO, P.C. “ATTORNEYS AND COUNSELORS AT LAW” S C H E D T U C L Y S E O N U I R O I N
