THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2024 Page 5 WIN | FROM Page 1 an 8-0 lead after connecting with freshman Charles Dobre for the two-point conversion. Moments later, Revere recovered an Everett fumble on the kickoff , and Mario Ramirez capped off the drive with a 5-yard touchdown run, followed by his own two-point conversion to make it 16-0. Cicatelli’s decision to go for the kind of kicks from Joel Vasquez that favor unpredictability vs. length proved crucial in maintaining momentum. “We worked at that so hard every week, probably too much to be honest,” Cicatelli said. “We just tried our best to take chances. No one’s really beat [Everett] for a long time, and we did that. So, we kept onside kicking, and Joel Vasquez got really good at it. It definitely put momentum in our favor.” Hou, who has been instrumental in Revere’s four-game win streak, delivered another standout performance, adding a second touchdown pass to Woodard in the second quarter—a 16-yard strike that extended the lead to 22-6 just before halftime. In the third quarter, Hou and Woodard connected again, this time on a 33-yard screen pass that found the end zone on a fourth-down play, pushing Revere’s lead to 28-12. Freshman Anthony Pelatere added to Everett’s woes earFIREFIGHTERS | FROM Page 3 ter.

Put your health and safety fi rst and get screened.” On Nov. 18 and Dec. 2, 2024, staff from the Massachusetts Firefi ghting Academy and Dr. Christine Kannler will set up shop at St. Mary’s High School in Lynn from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. Dr. Kannler lost her fi refi ghter TEAM LEADERS: Coach and Captains, shown from left to right, are: Danny Hou, Darian Martinez, Head Coach Louis Cicatelli, Geo Woodward and Adam Lemus.

Benhamou later capped the night with a 5-yard touchdown run for a 42-12 lead. Revere’s linemen — Silvio Neto, Charles Dobre, Joel Vasquez, Adam Metawea and Louis Forte — were opening holes for the skilled players bigger than when ambulances clear roadways on Broadway. For the players, this was a win to remember. Think about it: most of the 90s, all of the 2000s, all of the 2010s and almost half of the 2020s: no victories over Everett, all while the Crimson Tide cruise to Greater Boston League and Super brother, Peter, to occupational cancer when he was just 37 years old. “On behalf of the Lynn Fire Department, I want to urge all our brother and sister fi refi ghters in the area to come out and get screened,” said Lynn Fire Chief Daniel Sullivan. “We’re especially encouraging retirees to attend. Do it for yourself, do it for your family, but just do it — the worst cancer diagnosis is a late one.” The World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer has designated fi refi ghting as a Group 1 occupation, meaning that it is carcinogenic to humans. The International Association of Fire Fighters reported that 72% of member deaths in 2023 were due to occupational cancer. Firefi ghters are more likely to develop cancer Bowl titles (12 between 1997 and 2017) in a run perhaps like no other in Massachusetts high school football. Woodard described the experience as “an overwhelming mix of relief, disbelief, and pure joy” after beating a team that has dominated Revere for decades. “So although we didn’t make playoff s, the win against Everett is an achievement me and my teammates will forever carry on, and to me that is much bigger than making the playoff s,” he added. Hou, who threw multiple touchdown passes and kept the off ense moving all night, echoed the sentiment. “It made us feel great. It was one of the best feelings ever,” than the public they protect, more likely to develop it earlier in life, and more likely to die as a result. To address this serious occupational hazard, the Department of Fire Services works with volunteers and contracted vendors to provide cancer screenings for Massachusetts fi refi ghters. In addition to the skin cancer screenings, firefi ghters may also be eligible for free chest CT scans, PSA blood tests, mammograms, and ultrasounds. More information is available https:// www.mass.gov/occupationalcancer-in-the-fi re-service “These screenings are in place to protect firefighters from a serious occupational hazard,” said State Fire Marshal Davine. “Don’t take a chance with cancer. Take advantage of our program today.” he said. “We started off the season 0-4, then we win four games straight, beating Everett. Even though we didn’t make the playoff s, it was still such a great feeling knowing how far we came through the season, and it shows how hard we worked to get here.” Benhamou was equally thrilled to be part of the historic victory. “Honestly it felt great to beat Everett,” he said. “It was a great experience with the team to end the 30-year streak and to get Cic his fi rst win against them. We put the work in throughout practice, and it showed on Friday night. Unfortunately we didn’t make the playoff s, but I am glad to see the team improve throughout the season, and I hope we can continue to keep the winning streak throughout our next games.” Despite missing the Division 3 playoff s, the Patriots are riding high with renewed confi - dence. With Boston Latin up next on the road (Friday, Nov. 8, 7 p.m.), the Patriots aim to keep the momentum going and fi nish the season strong, building toward their traditional Thanksgiving matchup with Winthrop—a game now packed with added excitement. “It was almost like, ‘Pinch me. Am I really living this right now?’” Cicatelli refl ected on the Everett win. “Everett’s a powerhouse, and we were able to fi - nally beat them. It was surreal.” Lawrence A.
