MIAA | FROM PAGE 20 the football games, 80 percent of girls volleyball games, 80 percent of boys soccer and girls soccer games and more than 90 percent of field hockey games. It was a vote that has been considered for months, but the call to add a win-loss component heated up this past fall when Everett High football – a traditionally strong playoff qualifier and winner T he Revere, Everett, Malden High, and Mystic Valley Charter School (REMM) Ice Hockey team introduced themselves at Allied Veterans Memorial Rink in Everett last Wednesday. of 13 Super Bowls in the past 30 seasons – failed to qualify for the Division 1 playoffs despite a 7-1 regular season and Greater Boston League Championship. Everett finished out of the money, ranked 18th and behind two teams, #15-ranked Leominster (44) and #16-ranked Braintree, both of which finished regular season at 4-4, in a 16-team bracket. Six games against weaker Greater Boston League competition ended up saddling Everett High football as the only team out of the 33 teams sitting in Division 1 to have a minus opposition teams rating. Some opinions being floated in football circles are suggestions that Everett High continue to be a full member of the GBL – except for football – and for the Crimson Tide to play an independent football schedule, choosing teams more on its own plane of competition. Everett could continue to play GBL schools on the football field if it so chose, but as a new independent, could also choose to go completely out of the GBL for football scheduling, if such a move came to pass. This move was openly discussed before, but never carried out, during the former reign of Everett football supremacy in the 2000s and 2010s under legendary former Head Coach John DiBiaso Jr., whose teams – at one point– won 11 of 15 Super Bowl titles in 15 years from 19972012, then two more in 20162017. Coach DiBiaso left Everett and went to coach at Catholic Memorial after his final Super Bowl win, in 2017.
