THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JANUARY 7, 2022 Page 9 Revere boys split at David Green Tourney By Greg Phipps T hrough four games the Revere High School boys' basketball team has managed two wins and two defeats. Last week, the Patriots competed in the David Green Tournament in Winthrop. They split their two contests there to end up at 2-2 on the season entering the New Year. Scheduled games for this week against Lynn Classical at home and away at Medford were postponed due to the Greater Boston League's decision on Monday to suspend play for a week due to the recent COVID-19 surge. As of press time, the Patriots were still scheduled to resume the season at Chelsea on Tuesday. In the fi rst round of the Green Tourney, Revere fell to eventual tournament champion Peabody by a close 43-40 margin. Junior Sal DeAngelis led the way for the Patriots with 18 points. He was the lone Revere player in double fi gures. Senior Ramadan Barry and junior Vincent Nichols each added six points in the loss. DeAngelis also connected twice from downtown and Barry added a basket from three-point land. All told, the Patriots struggled with their shooting and made good on just 13 of 43 fi eld goal attempts overall. The Revere defense was solid, however, allowing the Tanners just 43 points and hanging close the whole way despite the off ensive diffi culties. The Patriots shot 11 of 16 from the freethrow stripe but made just three of their 17 three-point tries. Senior James Clauto's 23-point effort helped carry the Patriots to a 70-54 win over Pioneer Charter in the consolation game. Two of Clauto's nine fi eld goals were from beyond the arc. Domenic Boudreau provided strong support on off ense with a 17-point performance. He also connected twice from the three-point stripe. DeAngelis and Barry contributed with seven and fi ve points respectively. Revere hit on fi ve of its 25 three-point attempts but did shoot over 50 percent on two-point fi eld goals, connecting on 20 of 35 shots from that range. The Patriots were 15 of 26 from the foul line. Peabody ended up winning the Green Tournament with a 62-46 victory over host Winthrop in the championship game.
