ANSWERS Patriots end short season with shootout win By Greg Phipps C oming off a disappointing loss at mighty Everett the week before, the Revere High School football team rediscovered its off ense and completed the abbreviated season with a high-scoring, 48-32 victory over the Medford Mustangs last Friday evening at Harry Della Russo Stadium. As a result, the Patriots ended up with a 3-1 record. They scored convincing wins over Lynn Classical and Lynn English before taking it on the chin by 37 points at perennial Div. I powerhouse Everett, which went 4-0 this spring. The loss to the Tide was just the second setback for Revere in its last 15 games dating back to the 2019 season when the Patriots advanced to the Div. 4 North championship game. DISREPAIR | FROM Page 1 dition and the future of the fi eld, which is currently under the ownership of the Revere Little League Board of Directors, kicked off Monday night with a motion by Ward 1 Councillor Joanne McKenna requesting that the mayor have Northeast Mosquito Control spray the fi eld. The fi eld – once the pride of the city – has fallen victim to disrepair for close to a decade, according to McKenna, creating an eyesore and health hazard for neighbors. “I would just like to tell the residents that Revere does not own this property; it is owned by a private entity,” said McKenna. “Revere is trying to do everything it can to acquire it. The park is privately owned, and it is responsible for the condition that it is in; all we can do is fi ne the owners and make sure the fi eld is cleaned.” McKenna said that, although the fi eld is not owned by the city, she made the motion to request the mosquito spraying because of the danger presented by the amount of standing water on Last Friday’s win over the Mustangs featured a huge performance from running back Adetayo Atitebi, who broke open for 250 yards rushing. His production included two touchdown runs. In addition, quarterback Calvin Boudreau threw for 160 yards on 11 completions and two touchdowns. Receiver Jarrod Natola caught both scoring tosses. To its credit, winless Medford didn’t make it easy for the Patriots, as the Mustangs fought back from a double-digit deficit and made it interesting. But Revere's special teams and defense chipped in with the scoring. Dillon Day returned a blocked punt for one touchdown, and Cam Ventura returned an interception 20 yards for another score. “It was a wild one for sure. the property. Ward 4 Councillor Patrick Keefe, who is actively involved in youth sports leagues in the city, said he gets a lot of calls about the state of the fi eld and it is well past time for the Little League Board of Directors to step up and work with the city about the state of the fi eld. “There isn’t a league; there hasn’t been for a number of years; there hasn’t been a fruitful league for probably close to 10 years,” said Keefe. “The park has been neglected by the board.” Keefe said city offi cials have offered support and to work with the board a number of times over the years to no avail. “It’s going to be up to the people that oversee that league, that oversee that fi eld, that are on the board – whoever’s left, to come out and say we’re probably going to have to turn it over to the city if the city is going to repair it and make it into some sort of playable shape,” said Keefe. “If you really care about what’s happening down there and you’re on the board, come on out and come work with the city, and we’ll make sure the Some of it was honestly a blur,” Head Coach Lou Cicatelli described to the press after the game. “All I know is it was back and forth all night and it was a three-hour game.” Having the 2020 fall campaign erased due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Revere was prevented from having an opportunity to compete for a possible state title after the 10-1 season and two playoff wins in 2019. Cicatelli said he thought this year’s squad was a championship caliber unit. “It was defi nitely a successful year,” he said of this spring’s 3-1 eff ort. “We knew we had a good football team with 20 seniors. We wanted to be 4-0 but Everett was a buzz saw. Without COVID, I think we would have been right back to make a run in the tournament.” fi eld is being used for what it’s intended for.” McKenna said the city administration has sat down with the private owners and can’t get them to agree to what the city is asking. “Let the kids enjoy this beautiful fi eld instead of letting it sit there in water and disarray,” she said. “Do the right thing.” Councillor-at-Large Jessica Ann Giannino said it’s past the time to work with the owners, or even to continue levying fi nes. “If a property is abandoned, the city has the ability to take it by eminent domain,” she said. Several councillors said the state of the fi eld refl ects poorly on the city, since many people assume it is a municipal property. Ward 2 Councillor Ira Novoselsky suggested putting some sort of cover over the fi eld and fencing so it doesn’t look like such an eyesore. Novoselsky said he’d also like to see the City Council take up more discussion about the future of the fi eld in its Parks & Recreation Subcommittee and to start making more noise about the issue.
