Walter Rodriguez and Nicholas Aquirre at defensive ends played outstandingly, as did Bellemsiel and Maia at linebacker. Isaiah Decrosta made some key tackles at safety. “We just got through watching the fi lm with the kids and I gotta say it was the Wing-T at its best,” Revere football coach Lou Cicatelli said Monday night after the Friday victory. “Everybody did what they’re supposed to do in a lot of those plays in the fi rst quarter, and it looked marvelous, and, hopefully, we can emulate that again and keep this momentum going. And the defense just played out of their minds. We fi nally had a whole team eff ort on both sides of the ball. What else could you ask for when you put up 36 points basically all in the fi rst half?” The game saw the return of Abass Atoui after injuries had sidelined him. And did he ever make his presence known. He Jaimy Gomez was accompanied by her parents, Mercedes Reyes and Jose Diegi, and Natalia Gomez, Jailyn Gomez, Juan Chavarria, Yara, Gabby, Evelyn, Kelly and Ashley. had two rushing touchdowns, a two-point conversation reception, two fumble recoveries and blocked a punt. But he not only blocked the punt – he ran to the left sideline, scooped up the loose ball and took it to the house 30 yards for a fumble-recovery touchdown. He also had another fumble recovery that set up his second rushing touchdown that made it 29-0. “It was nice getting some guys back, and Abass hasn’t played since Peabody and yet he gets us three touchdowns. He was just a beast,” Cicatelli said. “He’s one of our best tailbacks and kind of makes the off ense work so we got off to a quick start and never looked back and played very, very well.” Atoui is a four-year player and three-year starter. He’s missed a lot of time with injuries even stemming back to last season. “He came back though and stronger, and we had projected him to do great things this year,” Cicatelli said. “And he did. He also played linebacker on defense and did a good job, too.” Atoui had big gains in the fi rst drive, and Rizzo connected with Giovanni Woodard on a 50-yard strike to set up Woodard’s 3-yard TD run. Ahmed Bellemsiel, the holder on the PAT kicks, took a broken play and found Atoui for a 2-point conversion and an 8-0 lead. “Ahmed made a great play,” Cicatelli said. FOOTBALL | SEE Page 21
