THE EVERETT ADVOCATE–Friday, November 15, 2019 Page 11 Questionable ref’s calls ends super season for Tide football F By Greg Phipps or the second season in a row, the Everett Crimson Tide saw their playoff hopes dashed in overtime against the Central Catholic Red Raiders last Saturday afternoon at Lawrence Stadium. Once again, it came down to the final play, as Tide quarterback Duke Doherty came within inches of tying the game in overtime when his two-point conversion run came up short at the goal line.

Tide showed resiliency by battling back from a two-touchdown deficit and forcing the contest into overtime. Everett actually had a chance to end it in regulation when it drove into field goal range late in the game. But an interception of a Tide screen pass thwarted that opportunity. Down 31-24 in the fourth quarter, Everett produced a 13play, 68-yard march (helped by two clutch fourth-down conversions) that ended with running back Jayden Clerveaux’s Tide’s Jayden Clerveaux finds a big hole in in the Central Catholic defensive line. scoring run from 10 yards away. Abraham Betancourth’s extra-point kick tied the game with nearly three minutes to go. A pass interference call on Everett helped lead to a touchdown and subsequent twopoint play that put Central Catholic ahead 39-31 in the overtime session. The Tide answered back when Tyrese Baptiste rushed for a three-yard score. Unfortunately, Doherty’s attempt to tie it was unsuccessful. Everett also lost to the Raiders in last year’s semifinal round on a field goal in overtime. Doherty finished with 121 yards passing, 12 completions and a touchdown through the air. Baptiste had a big day by running back a kickoff 87 yards to set up Everett’s first touchdown – a two-yard burst by Deshawn Weston – and scoring in overtime. Betancourth connected a field goal and made good on four PAT attempts.
