The Crimson Tide won a whopping 13 Division 1 Super Bowl State Championships under former Head Coach John DiBiaso Jr. from 1993-2017.

Everett has also had a monopoly on the GBL Football Championship for the past three decades, winning every one except two from 1993-2023. Cambridge upset Everett on Thanksgiving Day in 2002, clinching that year’s GBL title. Malden, under then Head Coach Joe Pappagallo, upset Everett on October 24, 2015, and won the GBL crown after clinching it with a win over Medford. All in all, alone at the top has been a frequent perch for the Everett High football team. Well, now they are defi nitely alone at the top in the Greater Boston League for another reason. The Tide is now the only Division 1 team left in the league after the newest Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA) realignments for postseason football tournament play were announced. Last year, two of the eight GBL teams competed in the Eastern Mass. highest division, Everett and Malden. Not coincidentally, Everett and Malden are two of the winningest teams in the history of MIAA football, going back to the early 1900s. In fact, Everett is number 10 in THE NATION at 844-378 overall (since 1893). Malden dropped down two divisions to Division 3 for the fi rst time in its history for some basic reasons, according to DiREVERE IN THE MIX: The Revere High School Boys Soccer Team tied GBL leader Somerville on Tuesday, 1-1, and are just one game out of fi rst place in the GBL.

With the shift to Division 3, Malden is now in the same spot as Lynn Classical, Lynn English, Somerville and Revere. Medford dropped down to Division 4 this year and Chelsea moved up one division to Division 7. Size-wise, Everett has the largest enrollment in the GBL, followed by Revere, Lynn English, LEAGUE | SEE PAGE 15 ~ LEGAL NOTICE ~ PUBLIC NOTICE CITY OF MALDEN LICENSING BOARD A Public Hearing will be held before the Licensing Board for the City of Malden at City Hall, 215 Pleasant Street, Room 108, Malden, MA 02148 on October 17, 2023 at 6:00 p.m. regarding the application of Brenda Y Hermanos Corporation, DBA El MexSal Authentic Latin Food, 97 Medford Street, Malden, MA For A Transfer of License to sell Alcoholic Beverages as an On Premises S12 Restaurant All Alcoholic Beverages from El MexSal Corp.
