The Crimson Tide’s latest win was against BC High, another Catholic Conference team, last Friday night (Sept. 30) on the road in Weymouth to the tune of 42-16. They had a 28-8 halftime lead and as a result cruised the rest of the way. “Our team played a very clean game against BC High, and I am very proud of our effort and performance,” said coach Rob DiLoreto. “We hope to build off this win and continue to improve this week by preparing hard and working hard on the practice field [for this week’s game against visiting Revere on Friday night, Oct. 7, at 6 p.m.].” “Winning builds confidence, and I hope the players are feeling more confident at this point,” added DiLoreto. Damien Lackland ignited the offense in the first quarter with a one-yard run, and Jayden Prophete followed with another running play on the two-point conversion attempt. The Eagles then tied it up before their Everett visitors broke the game wide open. Prophete scampered for a 20-yard touchdown run to give his teammates the lead; once again. Quarterback Karmarri Ellerbe decided to get in Jayden Prophete Running Back the fun after calling his own number with a four-yard run for six more points. Adoni Santos kicked the extra point to complete the team’s first score of the second quarter. Ellerbe then showed off his arm while hooking up with Christian Zamor for a 61yard scoring strike. Santos nailed another successful extra point to extend the Everett lead to 20 points heading into the break, 28-8. Just like he did in the first quarter, Lackland opened up the scoring, this time in the second half on a 34-yard touchdown run. Santos booted another successful extra point, and the rout was on, with the Tide now in front, 35-8. In the fourth quarter, Ellerbe closed out the Everett offense with a two-yard run to paydirt. Santos tacked on the final explanation point with another kick through the uprights. The Eagles did, however, get into double digits with a special teams fourth quarter score on an 84-yard kickoff return for six points, followed by another successful two-point conversion try to account for the final score. DiLoreto had high praise for his players after this satisfying win over a traditional Catholic Conference powerhouse, including Ellerbe, who rushed for two touchdowns and threw for anothThe Pfannenstiehl Case T he Supreme Judicial Court (SJC) of Massachusetts unanimously overturned a lower court decision that had ordered the assets in an irrevocable discretionary trust created by the husband’s father to be split in a divorce proceeding. This was decided on August 8, 2016. This SJC decision upholds the use of trusts to shelter assets for future generations. Up until their separation, the couple depended on distributions from a trust created by the husband’s father for the husband’s benefit as well as his siblings and their children. At the time of the divorce proceeding, the trust had assets of approximately $25million and there were 11 beneficiaries. The Trial Court judge ruled against the husband and ordered 60% of the husband’s one eleventh trust share to be paid to his wife. The husband appealed to the Court of Appeals but lost in a split decision. The trust stated “the trustees shall pay to, or apply for the benefit of, a class composed of any one or more of the Donor’s then living issue such amounts of income and principal as the Trustee, in its sole discretion, may deem sole discretion of the trustees as they may deem advisable from time to time and that they shall provide for the comfortable support, health, maintenance, welfare and education of the beneficiaries. This is known as the “ascertainable standard.” The trust also contained a advisable from time to time, whether in equal or unequal shares, to provide for the comfortable support, health, maintenance, welfare and education of each of the members of such class.” The trust also stated that distributions are within the spendthrift provision. “Neither the principal nor income of any trust created hereunder shall be subject to alienation, pledge, assignment or other anticipation by the person for whom the same is intended, nor to attachment, execution, garnishment or other seizure under any legal, equitable or other process.” The SJC found that since the Trustees have total discretion whether or not to make distributions on the husband’s Christian Zamor Wide Receiver er. “I felt [Ellerbe] made some big throws for us and also made some nice reads in the run game,” said the veteran coach. “Our offensive line also played very well as one unit, opening up some nice holes for our running backs, and on defense [Prophete] led the way with three interceptions. Dom Papa and David DeSouza also played well on that side of the ball.” The Tide coach is now looking ahead to Friday night’s home game against the aforementioned Revere. “Revere is extremely well-coached. They have won three straight games, like us, and are a very talented team. We know we need to play our very best on Friday night against them.” behalf means that he has an uncertain “expectancy” for which, under Mass divorce law, a different standard is applied to splitting assets among the two spouses. If you are genuinely concerned about the possibility of your child getting divorced in the future, or of being sued by a creditor, then such provisions in your trust could be inserted. You can even substitute the word “may” instead of “shall” on the part of Trustee distributions to offer even more protection. Joseph D.
