The Revere Patriots proved to be the former, and that materialized into a 4013 rout of the Saugus Sachems last Saturday at Stackpole Field. It was Revere’s first away game of the season while Saugus was playing its second straight home game. The Patriots remained undefeated on the early season at 4-0, and the Sachems stayed winless at 0-4. The events of last Saturday’s game were evidence of why the teams are on opposite sides of the spectrum thus far this season. Just minutes into the contest, Revere running back Jonathan Murphy turned the corner for touchdown runs of 43 and 23 yards to give the Patriots a quick 13-0 lead. The Sachems received a lift when Marvens Jean returned a kickoff 80 yards to make it 13-7, but the Patriots responded immediately by marching 80 yards, culminating in a short TD plunge by RB Joe Llanos for a 20-7 lead.

That’s when things went south for the Sachems. Quarterback Christian Correia, filling in for injured starter Mason Nickolas, attempted to pass while being hit, and a floater ended up being intercepted and returned for a score by Llanos. It only got worse for Saugus on its ensuing drive. Deep inside their own five yard line, the Sachems fumbled in the end zone, and the ball was recovered by Revere. Suddenly it was a 34-7 Patriots lead with an entire half remaining. “We struggled all game. We were in a position to make this a better ball game, but that 100 seconds before the half really changed the momentum of the game,” Saugus head coach Steve Cummings told the press afterwards. “[Behind] 34-7 [instead of] 20-14 is a big difference, and it didn’t take that long for it to happen.” The Sachems engineered another strong drive to open the third quarter, but that ended in an interception inside Revere territory. That play set the stage for a long Revere march that ended with an eight-yard Llanos TD run and a 40-7 lead. A late Jean score put Saugus on the board one last time and accounted for the final margin. Three Saugus turnovers led to Revere defenders Joe Llanos and Mazer Ali look to impede the pass attempt of Saugus quarterback Christian Correia last Saturday in Saugus. 20 Patriots points. Revere head coach Lou Cicatelli said success on defense is a crucial aspect of his team’s attack. “I’m a defensive guy. Defense sets the tone, it always does,” he told the press after the game. “But the way our offense is playing, we know if we can give up less than 20 points a game we’re going to win football games. We’re that confident.” Revere will try to keep its perfect season going, but that will be a challenge when it travels to face undefeated Lynn English on Saturday at 1 p.m. “Right now the focus is to stay healthy. If we can do that – keep coming to practices and work harder – the schedule gets tougher now. We have English and then Marblehead [also undefeated entering this week]. We’re going to find out what we’re really made of.” Saugus will try to enter the victory column when it travels to face another winless team, Salem, Friday night (scheduled 7 p.m. kickoff). The Witches have had a rough go through their first four games, having been outscored by a combined 18924 margin.
