THE REVERE ADVOCATE – Friday, February 7, 2020 Page 13 ly 10-2 lead before Leary called a time out. From there, the Patriots settled down and went into the second quarter down by a 14-12 count. Revere actually took a short-lived 1514 lead early in the second, but an 8-0 surge by Peabody put the Patriots behind by seven at 22-15. A subsequent 13-8 Tanners scoring advantage over the remainder of the half gave the hosts a 35-23 lead at halftime. Dillan Day scored 10 of his 12 points and Crisrael Lithgow had eight of his team-high 19 in the opening half for Revere. The second half did not start well for the Patriots, who were outscored 11-0 to begin the third quarter. Behind 53-34 entering the fourth, Revere went on a 19-5 run during the fi rst six minutes of the period to climb back in it. The Tanners would then make good on free throws, scoring fi ve of the game’s fi nal seven points to fi nish on top. Contributing to Revere’s off ensive attack was Robert Raduazzo with 15 points Leary said the team put itself in too deep a hole in the opening 16 minutes and didn’t take advantage in other areas. “We missed too many free throws that could have made a diff erence,” he pointed out. “The bottom line is Peabody did a nice job of closing out the game when it had the chance.” The Patriots dropped to 5-9 on the season. They will look to get back in the win column when they play at Medford on Friday and host Malden on Monday. Revere’s Robert Raduazzo goes baseline against Peabody.
