THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, October 9, 2026 Page 13 been choppy at best in the rivalry. After a 39-0 win for Everett in 2017, the Tide’s second win in a row after Malden’s streak-busting 22-18 victory in 2015, there was no game played in 2018, with Malden declining the date due to a slew of injured players and other issues. The 2015 win for Malden — 22-19 at Macdonald Stadium — was monumental, as Head Coach Joe Pappagallo’s Tornados snapped a whopping 24game winning streak by Everett, stretching from 1991-2015 — all the wins coached by Tide legend John DiBiaso Jr. DiBiaso would tack on two more wins over Malden, in 2016 and 2017, before departing Everett and taking the reins at Catholic Memorial. The series resumed in 2019 with a 30-6 Everett win, but the series was put on hold once again in the 2020 season, when all of the teams in the Greater Boston League (GBL) canceled all seasons for all sports due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In the Fall 2 season, in the spring of the year, the two teams again did not meet. Then came Game #129, at Eddie Melanson Field in Jack Macdonald Stadium in Malden, and Everett continued its dominance with a 43-0 shutout win. This is a bit of history in itself, as it is believed to be only the eighth time the game has been scheduled in October, ever, due to the new MIAA football format. The 2012 game in Everett was historical, too, in that it was also scheduled for Friday night, a first. In 2021, it was also the second time the game was played on a Thursday night. In 2019, the game was also played on a Thursday night. Even when every high school football game was played on Saturday — until Friday night football came into vogue in the early to mid-1990s — the games were at 1:30 p.m. Malden-Everett was always a 1:00 p.m. start. As for the 1:00 kickoff, you have to think that the Malden and Everett football forefathers must have figured that this annual pigskin classic between the two blue-collar battlers might take a little longer that your usual high school rivalry, hence the one-half hour earlier starting time for the game in all of its previous years. The 2019 game was Here are all the Malden-Everett scores from 1893 to 2026: STELLAR RECORD: For 26 seasons former Everett High Football Head Coach (shown above in 2003) John DiBiaso Jr. walked the sidelines, and he put up a stellar 25-1 win-loss record against Malden. (Courtesy/ Everett Athletics) a memorable one The 2019 game, a 30-6 Everett, was memorable: the first time the two teams played after the game was shelved in 2018. Malden High’s Jerry Mervil stepped in at wildcat quarterback in that game, scoring the game’s first points on a 12-yard keeper touchdown run midway through the first quarter. In a torrential rainstorm, Malden led, 6-0, at halftime, the first time a Golden Tornadoes team owned a halftime lead over Everett in nearly 30 years. The Tide reverted to a double-wing, “groundand-pound” offense in the second half, ate up large chunks of the clock and blanked Malden the rest of the game on their way to a 30-6 win. Everett’s 25-game consecutive win streak from 1991-2015 is a record in the ancient series: the most consecutive wins for either team since they started playing in 1893 during the final weeks of President Benjamin Harrison’s administration. The longest win streak ever for Malden was 10 games, from 1980-1989. Malden was actually unbeaten for 12 games, as it tied in 1990 (0-0) and again in 1991. There have been six ties, the last one being the 0-0 deadlock in 1990. The others: 6-6 in 1949, 0-0 in 1937, 1934 and 1926 and 6-6 in 1902.

Before the 2015 win, the last time Malden defeated Everett was in November 1991, a 3722 victory by then Head Coach Paul Finn’s squad, which capped the 12-game unbeaten streak for the Golden Tornadoes over the Crimson Tide, which stood as a high-water mark for either team until Everett smashed that mark in 2004 with its 13th consecutive win.
