Page 10 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 3, 2025 Everett High School Soccer Weekly Report O By Joe McConnell Boys starting to pick up frequent points ver the course of their three most recent games, the Everett High School boys soccer team (2-4-3) went unbeaten with two ties and a win. This run started with a hard-fought 1-1 tie against non-league Methuen on Sept. 20. That positive momentum continued last week with a 3-0 shutout win over Lynn Classical at 7-Acres on Sept. 23. Three days later, Somerville came to Rivergreen to take on the Crimson Tide, and by game’s end both teams walked away with a point after enduring through a scoreless tie. Second-year Everett coach Rodney Landaverde thinks that his team just might be turning the corner as the calendar fl ips to October. “We are halfway through the season, and I’m proud of the work that’s coming from our underclassmen. They have stepped up and given the team quality minutes while playing a variety of positions. I’m defi nitely looking forward to an exciting second half of the season,” said Landaverde. Of the home game against Lynn Classical, the coach said that “it was a day of building confidence and generating chances,” while adding, “we got off to a great start by maintaining possession and being aggressive.” Senior captain Gabriel Garcia was the lead playmaker after taking over the left wing. “He was adamant in controlling the game and applying pressure to their defense,” Landaverde said. Sophomore midfi elder Jonathan Hernandez was also very aggressive, and early on in the fi rst half he hit a top corner shot A rare opportunity for first-time homebuyers to own an affordable condo in Malden! o own an affordable Affordable Homes for Sale in Malden! omes alden!!n!ldeenalden omes alden! ome Scan QR to apply APPLY ONLINE OR IN PERSON How to apply www.tndinc.org 4 Gerrish Ave Rear, Chelsea, MA 02150 Applications also available by mail or email.

Junior Whitney Pereira assisted on the score. The Tide held on to the slim lead throughout the fi rst half. “Junior captain Rene Lainez, sophomore Jason Santos and Pereira were key pieces in feeding passes to their teammates and moving us forward,” said Landaverde, “while the defensive sophomore duo of Pedro Pascoal and Pedro Romero were solid on the backline, which kept us from being scored upon.” Late in the second half, all of that effort started to pay off when sophomore Christopher Lopez Rivera sent an over-thetop ball to senior striker Kerim Memic, who caught up to it before putting it past the Classical goalkeeper. It was his fi rst career varsity goal.

At the other end of the pitch, Everett goalie Edwin Menjivar Carbajal was credited with his second clean sheet of the year. Next up was Somerville last Friday afternoon (Sept. 26), and even though the game ended in a scoreless tie, the Tide had their share of opportunities. “Rene Lainez, and sophomores Daniel Henriquez and Saymon Coelho helped us create some key chances, and all three came very close to scoring, but just couldn’t fi nish,” said Landaverde. “Freshman Miguel Santos also had great minutes up top to give us a lot to build on. But overall, it was a diffi cult game for us to just settle for a tie after having some dangerous opportunities at their end of the fi eld. We did, however, see a lot of things that we need to put in our game to continue to improve.” After games against Medford on Sept. 30 and then Malden two days later (after press deadline), the Everett boys will go up against Chelsea on Tuesday, Oct. 7, at 7-Acres, starting at 4:15 p.m. They will then play under the Everett Veterans Memorial Stadium lights, when Revere comes to town two days later (Oct. 9) for a 6:30 p.m. game.
