THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, AUGUST 30, 2024 Page 21 SPORTS | FROM Page 17 in,” Shea explained. “She has coaching experience, knows the kids, knows the program and she’s already proven herself with the basketball team.” Rivera’s transition to head coach is expected to be seamless, building on the momentum the team established last year. The girls’ soccer team had an impressive season, and with Rivera at the helm, there’s optimism that they can replicate or even surpass that success. “She had a fantastic fi rst year as the head coach of the basketball team, and we’re hoping she can bring that same energy and success to the soccer fi eld,” Shea added. As for the boys’ soccer team, the program continues to thrive with strong participation numbers. Shea reported that the team is seeing numbers in the mid to high 70s, a testament to the sport’s popularity among students. Revere went 9-3-3 last fall and brings back Coach Manuel Lopes. “We’ve always had solid numbers for boys’ soccer, and this year is no diff erent,” Shea said. “We expect even more to join once the freshmen get settled in.” Football, another cornerstone of Revere High School’s athletic program, is also poised for a strong season. Despite a slow start last year, the team BEACON | FROM Page 19 view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been fi led.

The football team opens at home with a non-leaguer against Whittier Tech of Haverhill on Friday, Sept. 6 at 6 p.m. Coach Lou Cicatelli is hoping the team can be victorious or at least very competitive in the fi rst couple of weeks, with that early success setting the tone for the rest of the season. However, Shea acknowledged that football participation is currently slightly lower than usual, with about 46 to 48 players as of the beginning of practices, compared to the typical mid-50s.

Shea said the team is usually a little light when practices start but could get some player arrivals post-Labor Day and spike to the mid-50s. The golf team, which operates as a co-op with Malden High School, also continues to show promise. Despite being a relatively small team, with numbers in the teens, Shea is pleased with the level of participation, particularly for an urban school. They won the Greater Boston League championship last fall. “For an urban school, I think that’s a decent number,” he remarked. The co-op with Malden allows Revere students to practice at diff erent locations and gain valuable experience, which is benefi cial for their development, according to Shea. While many teams are thriving, some challenges remain, particularly with the crosscountry program. Shea mentioned that the team has struggled with participation in recent years, and this season is no diff erent. “We’d like to get 15 if we can, but that’s been a struggle the last couple of years,” Shea admitted, indicating that the school is still working to boost participation in this sport. Despite the challenges, Shea is pleased with the overall stability heading into the new school year. Looking beyond Revere High School, Shea reported that the Greater Boston League remains stable, with no major changes expected for the upcoming season. “Everything seems to be in place,” Shea confirmed, noting that the only significant change is a new athletic director at Lynn Classical. The stability of the GBL is another positive sign for the upcoming season, as it means that Revere High School’s teams can focus on their performance without worrying about disruptions or changes in the league. ~ School Bus Drivers Wanted ~ 7D Licensed School Bus Drivers Malden Trans is looking for reliable drivers for the new school year.
