Page 22 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, DECEmbER 16, 2022 Tide girls romp over Revere in home opener Everett girls basketball hosts malden Tuesday night after medford tilt By Joe McConnell he Everett High School girls’ basketball team began the 2022-23 campaign on a successful note after they defeated Revere in the home opener Tuesday night, 46-28. Coach Riley Dunn’s club was 4-16 last year. “It was a rebuilding year for us, but the girls fought hard in every game,” the coach said. And it looks like they are ready to take that next T step after their convincing triumph over the Patriots earlier this week. Senior Kayley Rossi and junior Kaesta Sandy are the captains on this year’s varsity squad. They are both returning players on the big club. Sophomore Emilia Maria-Babcock, senior Nehemie Lucien, senior Lamiah Wyzard and senior Japhnie Pierre are the other varsity returnees that give the coaching staff optimism to secure a winning record this season. But they are also excited about the varsity newcomers. “I’m very excited about our new wave of varsity players like junior Malaica Guilaume, junior Taisha Alexandre, juniors Gleidy Tejada, senior Tatiana Moran, senior Brooklyn Acevedo, senior Tanaeja Elie, senior Nehemie Joseph, junior Olivia Lavaud and junior Malica Guilaume,” Dunn said. “We have a great group of returning girls, and our new additions are all hard workers,” the coach added. “We are really emphasizing competing every time we are on the court this season. We are looking to be quick on offense, and a force on defense.” Dunn was really proud of the effort and hustle her girls displayed versus Revere in the home opener again on Tuesday night. “They fought hard the entire game, while keeping their composure,” she added. “It was a great team win.” Next up for the Tide after the win over Revere was Medford on Dec. 15, and then the Malden Golden Tornadoes make the trek to Everett on Tuesday, Dec. 20, for a game starting at 7 p.m. Following that contest, the Everett girls are scheduled to take on non-league host Lawrence on Wednesday, Dec. 29, at 11:30 a.m. The Greater Boston League (GBL) season resumes on Jan. 3 versus host Chelsea, starting at 4 p.m. Tide begins season with overtime win at Revere Everett boys’ basketball heads to malden Tuesday after taking on host medford Dec. 15 By Joe McConnell I f Tuesday night’s game against host Revere is any indication of what’s to come, the Everett High School boys’ basketball games should provide much excitement for the team’s fans followed by many wins throughout the course of the regular season. The opening night game went to overtime, before visiting Everett was able to outlast the Patriots, 63-60. The score was tied at 57 at the end of regulation. “This was a good way to begin a new season,” said Everett coach Stanley Chamblain, who is beginning his fifth year as the Tide’s top boss after serving as an assistant coach for the previous five seasons. “It was a good, competitive battle, but Revere coach Dave O’Leary always has his players ready to play. “We led by as many as 15 points, but Revere started to hit its shots, while fighting hard to get back into the game,” added Chamblain. “We showed our inexperience at times, and also had the usual first game jitters, but in the end, we were able to stay level-headed to pull out the win.” The Crimson Tide only has three players with any type of varsity experience on the roster this year, but the overall resiliency of the team was the deciding factor to push them over the top. “I was very happy to see how they fought their way back, when Revere started to chip away at our lead,” said Chamblain. Steven Cordero paced the offensive attack for the Tide with 21 points. Dave De Souza was next in line with 15 points, including four in the extra period to help lead his teammates to victory. “{De Souza} had a chance to win the game in regulation, but was able to bounce back nicely in overtime,” said Chamblain. Tide boys co-op hockey grounds the Jets to open season on convincing note Everett faces Lynn again in the home opener on Dec. 21 at 4 p.m. By Joe McConnell T he Everett boys’ co-op hockey team kicked off the coach Craig Richards era on a successful note with a convincing 8-1 win over the Lynn Jets at Lynn’s Connery Rink last Saturday. The Crimson Tide led, 3-0 after one period, and 6-0 after two. “The kids showed up to play, and played hard throughout the entire game,” said Richards afterwards. Everett’s David Saia and Revere’s Ollie Svenson paced the offensive attack with two goals apiece. Revere freshman Frankie Annunzita lit the lamp once, along with sophomore Liam Thompson (Mystic Valley), senior Chris Cecca (Revere) and Jacob Cantone (Everett). Sophomore goalie Ben Rosa (Malden) made 15 saves to help lead his teammates to victory, while the Tide peppered the Malden net with 35 shots. “We played very well on Saturday,” said Richards. The Everett co-op boys took on Medford at Medford’s LoConte Rink on Dec. 15 after press deadline. It’s a game that always provides a challenge for most Greater Boston League (GBL) teams. The Mustangs consistently have strong clubs that routinely make the state tournament. But Richards’ young club was hoping to continue their fine showing from the Lynn game to give the Mustangs a battle in order to send a message that they are ready to compete on this level. Everett will then host Lynn in a rematch on Wednesday, Dec. 21, at 4 p.m., before facing off against host Somerville two weeks later on Wednesday, Jan. 4, starting at 5:30 p.m. Kevin Ruiz accounted for 14 points. Junior Anderson Joseph chipped in with seven. His classmates Allisn Desruisseaux and Cleevance Erilus had four and two points, respectively.

The Tide will face BC High at noon on Dec. 27, and then Jeremiah Burke High School the next day at the same time. Brookline, Springfield Central and host Cathedral are the other teams in this year’s tourney. Each team is guaranteed two games, except for the host club, and there won’t be any championship and consolation games. The tournament is designed to keep these squads sharp over the holiday break. Chamblain’s team will resume the Greater Boston League (GBL) schedule against Chelsea in the home opener on Jan. 3, beginning at 7 p.m. Middlesex Sheriff’s Office hiring correction officers, medical personnel Offering sign-on bonuses for new officers, nurses and paramedics BILLERICA, Mass. – The Middlesex Sheriff’s Office (MSO) is actively recruiting correction officers and medical personnel to join one of the nation’s leading correctional agencies.
