Page 8 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 2026 ~ RHS PATRIOTS WINTER SPORTS ROUNDUP ~ Revere winter teams navigate uneven week with flashes of offense and record-setting track performances By Dom Nicastro S now delays, tough road tests and narrow losses defined another week for Revere winter teams. While results varied, coaches pointed to growth, individual breakthroughs, and competitive response as the Patriots continue pushing through a packed stretch of the season. Girls basketball: Offense breaks through at home while road tests expose consistency challenges The Revere Lady Patriots fi nished the week 1-2 as schedule disruptions and back-to-back road games tested both rhythm and depth. A planned matchup with Medford was postponed due to snow, compressing an already busy stretch. Revere opened the week on the road against a well-rounded Danvers team that seized control early with perimeter shooting and strong ball movement. The Lady Patriots struggled to fi nd their off ensive footing in the first half and ultimately fell, 46-25, despite improved scoring in the second half. Shayna Smith led Revere with nine points and fi ve rebounds, while Addison Ulwick pulled down seven rebounds. Back home on Thursday, Revere responded with its most complete offensive performance of the week, controlling the game from the opening quarter in a 51-27 win over Chelsea. Allyson Ollivierra paced the Lady Pats with 26 points and fi ve steals, while Sarah Lechheb added seven points and Rebecca Mercado chipped in fi ve points and two steals. Revere built separation early and maintained control through a strong defensive eff ort. Sunday’s road game at Whittier Tech proved another challenge, as Revere was unable to overcome early scoring diffi culties and a halftime defi cit. Ollivierra led the Lady Pats with 14 points, while Smith and Ulwick each added eight, but Whittier Tech held on for a 51-38 victory. Girls indoor track: Narrow losses come with PRs, captain leadership and postseason momentum The Revere girls indoor track team dropped another close dual meet Friday, falling to Medford by just three points, 49-46, but continued to stack strong individual performances and postseason qualifi ers. Senior captain Olivia Rupp once again led the way, scoring 15 points in both meets by winning the mile, 1,000 meters and 2-mile. Rupp’s winning times included 5:50.18 in the mile, 3:39.12 in the 1,000 and 14:43.85 in the 2-mile. Senior captain Dayana Ortega posted lifetime personal records in both the 55-meter hurdles (10.17) and the 55-meter dash (8.19) while sweeping her events against Everett, including the long jump. Emma DeCrosta delivered lifetime PRs in the 1,000 meters and mile, continuing a trend of steady improvement. Senior captain Gemma Stamatopoulos ran a season-best 1:44.18 in the 600 meters, winning the event against Everett and fi nishing just behind Medford’s top runner. Senior captain Rania Hamdani impressed in her first 600-meter race, clocking a 1:50.38. The 4x400 relay team of Jaliyah Manigo, Danni Hope Randall, Zizi Kalliavas and Hamdani posted a season-best 4:34.57, a mark that should qualify the group for the Division 2 state meet.
