Page 10 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE–Friday, October 11, 2019 Tide’s Doherty leads the way in easy win over Medford, 42-0 By Greg Phipps T he season began with a string of four very tough games against some of the top programs in the state. The Everett Crimson Tide came away from that stretch by winning three of those four tilts. Last Friday night at Veterans Memorial Stadium, Everett faced off against a struggling Medford team and did what it was supposed to do in a 42-0 rout of the winless Mustangs. Tide quarterback Duke Doherty provided the main highlights by tossing three touchdowns and running for another. It will likely be more of the same for the Tide when they travel to tangle with Malden, another squad in search of its first win. In fact, the next few weeks look very winnable for 4-1 Everett, as it takes on Somerville (1-4) on the 18th and host Masconomet Regional after that. Since their season opening loss to defending Div. 3 champion Springfield Central, where they were held to just 12 points, the Tide have averaged over 34 points per game. The team is currently ranked 5th in Eastern Mass. Doherty had a big day last week, and sophomore running back Jaden Clerveaux had consecutive 100-plus yard games against St. John’s of Shrewsbury and Brockton. The Everett defense also appears to be coming together, as it held Brockton scoreless in the second half of their Sept. 28 clash and shut out Medford last week. The Tide has also had a penchant for coming back. It trailed at various points in all three wins over Xaverian, St. John’s and Brockton. Everett has also outscored the opposition 63-0 over the last three halves of football. SUPER EFFORT: Fabulous junior quarterback Duke Doherty is on a mission to ensure that his team – four wins with one loss – are in the coming Super Bowl playoffs. Last Friday night Doherty tossed three touchdown passes and ran for another to rout Medford, 42-0.
