The Patriots had a chance to clinch a spot by earning their 10th win on Tuesday at home against East Boston but fell just short. Jack D’Ambrosio’s 14 points were not enough to propel Revere in a 65-58 loss to the Jets. Hamza Ghoul added nine points and nine boards and D’Ambrosio pulled down nine rebounds in the defeat. The Patriots reached the cusp of the playoff s by scoring backto-back wins: over Somerville last Thursday at home by a lowscoring 35-31 margin and Medford away last Saturday by a close 56-53 score. The two victories gave Revere nine for the season. D’Ambrosio was the lone Patriot in double fi gures in the win over Somerville. He netted 18 points (more than half the team’s total) and came away with 13 rebounds to lead the way. James Clauto contributed seven points. Against Medford, the Patriots found themselves trailing by 10 points at halftime, 29-19. But they turned the tables and outscored the hosts 37-24 in the second half to steal the victory. Ghoul poured in 14 points and Domenic Boudreau drained 13, including two three-pointers. Clauto netted eight points and Alejandro Hincapie added fi ve to contribute on the offensive end. Ghoul grabbed 11 rebounds. Overall, the Patriots shot seven of 17 from the foul line and hit on four of their 13 three-point tries. Revere was 9-7 overall and had a good opportunity to clinch that 10th victory when it hosted Lynn Classical on Thursday night (after press deadline). The Patriots then head to the annual General Patton Basketball tourney at Hamilton-Wenham Regional High School, where they will play in the opening round against North Reading on Monday, Feb. 21.

EVERETT, MA 02149 771 SALEM ST. LYNNFIELD, MA 01940 WWW.EVERETTBANK.COM Member FDIC | Member DIF Erik Fearing, speaking on behalf of the Revere Teachers Association (RTA), said the union was basically split on lifting the mask mandate and was taking no offi cial stance. “The RTA did a quick poll of our membership over the weekend, and we’re not surprised to see it came out at about 511/2 percent to 481/2 percent in favor of keeping the mandate,” said Fearing. Fearing said there were some later childhood through college in Pennsylvania. She is retired from 30 years of teaching in the public schools of Melrose and the suburbs of Philadelphia. Post-retirement Buckley spent a few years managing a home care program for her parents with the incredible help of dedicated caregivers from AgeSpan. She has traveled throughout the United States, done some cross country in a little green Volkswagen with her sister and several friends and visited Europe. Buckley favors reading mystery, history and psychology books but will delve into almost any type of book. Art has been a lifelong interest of Buckley’s, and she is now happily painting in watercolors and acrylics and printing some designs as greeting cards, which she fi nds very satisfying. • Debbie Peczka of Revere launched her airline career with New York Air in 1982 and retired after a 37-year tenure with United Airlines. Travel is a pasMVES | SEE Page 3 concerns that were raised at an executive board meeting over the weekend, including the diffi culty to police who is and isn’t required to wear a mask once the mandate is lifted. “It’s going to be the honor system for our students,” said Fearing. “If they can’t all wear masks, we can’t know who is supposed to wear a mask and who is not with any reliability.” Fearing said the RTA was not opposed to the lifting of the mask mandate, but was not taking an offi cial position.
