EVERETT Vol. 28, No. 48 -FREEwww.advocatenews.net HAVE A SAFE & HAPPY THANKSGIVING! ADVOCATE Free Every Friday 617-387-2200 Wednesday, November 27, 2019 Tide ready to finish off another winning season Play Masco on T-Day at Everett Veterans Stadium at 10 AM By Greg Phipps E ntering their annual Thanksgiving Day contest under unusual circumstances, the Everett Crimson Tide are obviously looking to end their 2019 campaign on a triumphant note. Everett and the Masconomet Chieftains have been facing off on Thanksgiving Day since 2016. The relatively new series has seen the Tide win all three contests thus far by an aggregate margin of 103-44, with Everett winning last season’s clash at Boxford, 32-0. That day consisted of some unseasonably frigid weather, but this year’s forecast appears to be more on the normal side for this time of the year. The teams played each other at Fenway Park in 2017. The two schools first tangled back in 2012 when Everett defeated Masco, 42-14, in the playoff tournament. The Tide went on to the Super Bowl title that season with a one-point win over Barnstable at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro. This year’s Turkey Day affair features a couple of unique elements. First, the Tide comes into the Thanksgiving game eliminated from the playoffs and having lost two consecutive games. Secondly, it will also mark the first time a Thanksgiving game has taken place at Veterans Memorial Stadium since 2011. On that day, the Tide rolled to a 48-8 rout of Cambridge Rindge & Latin, which was Everett’s annual holiday rival until that series was brought to an end after 2011. This year’s game kicks off at 10 a.m. at Veterans Memorial. Two straight heartbreaking late-game losses in its last two outings have Everett standing at 7-3. Quarterback Duke Doherty was stopped at the goal line in a two-point overtime defeat at Central Catholic of Lawrence in the Div. 1 North semifinal. Last week the Tide resumed their regular season at Andover (the third seed in Div. 1 North and SEASON | SEE PAGE 11 Messinger Insurance Agency, Inc.
