THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAy, SEpTEmbER 26, 2025 Page 21 FURNISHED ROOM FOR RENT EVERETT Revere drops to 0-2 after Beverly defeat, turns focus to Medford By Dom Nicastro T he Revere High School Football Team fell to 0-2 on the season with a 42-7 loss to Beverly on Friday night at home, a game that began with early promise before the Panthers took control behind senior receiver Floyd White’s four touchdown catches. Revere jumped ahead on its second drive. After Filipe DeMelo intercepted a pass, quarterback Jose Fuentes later connected with Charles Dobre for a 40-yard gain down inside the 5-yard line. Two plays later, Reda Atoui punched it in. But Beverly answered immediately with a long kickoff return and a quick touchdown, then surged ahead on the strength of White and quarterback Danny Pierce. White caught three touchdowns from Pierce and added a fourth score later. Sean Costa and Brody Lehmann added rushing touchdowns as the Panthers moved to 2-1. Revere coach Lou Cicatelli said his team looked strong in some areas but struggled in the secondary. “We didn’t play as bad as it looks,” Cicatelli said. “We did a pretty good job slowing the run down. What killed us was secondary. We’ve got some young kids out there, and we gave up two touchdowns on fourth downs. We had no answer for Floyd.” Despite the result, several Patriots drew praise. Captain Bryan Fuentes led the team in tackles at linebacker. Dobre was disruptive on defense. “Charles had a couple of sacks and had a pretty decent night himself on defense,” Cicatelli said. He also noted that Dobre “looked good. He was rusty. He looked good, though. He’s only going to get better.” Atoui provided the team’s lone touchdown, and DeMelo’s interception was one of the defense’s early highlights. Cicatelli said execution on both sides of the ball remains a work in progress. “I’m not gonna lie, we’ve got to do a better tion to the Greater Boston League, beginning Thursday, Sept. 25, on the road at Medford at 6 p.m. The Mustangs are 1-1 after a win over Lynn Classical. “You run up against these teams like Beverly… they were a senior-laden team. We kind of were up against it in Quincy… they’re averaging 36 points a game,” Cicatelli said. Co-Capt. Bryan Fuentes led the team in tackles. job,” he said. “The offense is just not doing well. We’ve had some third-down deficiencies. Our percentage is not good. We’ve had drop passes and just silly mistakes. Again, it’s growing pains, and hopefully it turns around. I think it will.” Revere now shifts its atten“We ran into two buzzsaws. But I’m not making excuses. I’m definitely not happy with the offense right now and not so happy with the defense. I know we can play better.” He said the GBL schedule presents a new opportunity. “Now we can go into the GBL and now we have our goal: this year, it’s to win the GBL. We’ll take it from there. That was our number one goal. And guess what? It starts Thursday.” 1 bedroom, 1 bath furnished room for rent. $275. per week rent. Two week deposit plus 1 week rent required.
