Page 20 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE–Friday, October 4, 2019 LETTER | FROM PAGE 3 Everett girls’ soccer seeking second win By Greg Phipps H aving opened the season with a victory at O’Bryant, the Everett High School girls’ soccer team has run into some tough times. The Crimson Tide have managed a couple of ties since the opening day win. But, entering this week, they were still seeking victory number two. A 1-1 deadlock against Malden back on Sept. 23 was Everett’s most recent chance at a win. In that contest, Ashley Tejada scored the Everett goal off an assist from Carolann Cardinale halfway through the fi rst half. The Tide couldn’t make the one-goal lead stand up, as Malden scored to tie it in the second session. Everett head coach DeAnn Gallagher told the press after the game that she and her team felt they had a great shot to win the contest. “We just needed to continue to play hard, communicate with one another and pass the ball the way we do in practice.” During the season, Gallagher has reiterated that her squad has competed well and has produced numerous scoring opportunities, they just haven’t cashed in. At the same time, the team has struggled defensively, as marked by last Wednesday’s 8-0 loss at Somerville and a defeat against Revere last Friday. The Tide opened this week with a game at home against Gloucester and at home against O’Bryant on Thursday. ly on the table.

The City is estimated to save approximately $345,000 in energy costs annually. In addition, the City will prevent an estimated 530,000 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions per year. Also, last year the DeMaria administration entered into a longterm power purchase agreement with a clean energy provider, Syncarpha Solar. The City is buying clean electricity generated by the company’s 11 “Community Shared Solar” projects loconjunction with the Administration and the School Department. Everett is a changing City and now is not the time to derail or question that progress with a lot of self-serving rhetoric. The next phase of development over the next two years will go a long way to promote additional growth and establish more jobs for Everett residents. We need a steady hand for a changing community.
