It was not pretty as Everett High football demolished its GBL competition for six straight weeks, with every game but one decided before the halftime break and the sixth one over just two possessions into the third quarter. Everett and second-year Head Coach Rob DiLoreto captured its 26th GBL crown in the past 30 seasons and outscored its six league opponents, 244-17.

Clerveaux, who finished second in the state in scoring among all Division 1 players, was named the 2021 Greater Boston League Most Valuable Player. Clerveaux scored 16 touchdowns and three two-point conversions to finish with 102 total points. He finished second to Andover High’s Lincoln Beal, who led the state in both touchdowns (25) and points (158) scored. Clerveaux also rushed for over 1,500 for the season, averaging nearly 10.0 yards every time he carried the ball. The man who called the plays where Clerveaux frequently went to “The House,” Coach DiLoreto, also received high honors from the GBL, as he was named “Coach of the Year.” Coach DiLoreto guided the Crimson Tide to a 9-1 record overall. They went undefeated at 6-0 in the league. Everett’s only blemish was a close loss to Methuen in round one of the postseason playoffs.
