RHS boys soccer
wins two more to extend stReak to six
The Revere High boys soccer team extended its winning streak to six in a row with a 5-3 victory over Greater Boston League (GBL) rival Everett last Tuesday and a 5-1 triumph over non-league opponent Watertown last Friday.
In the match at Everett, the Patriots raced to a 5-2 lead at the intermission and cruised the rest of the way. Francisco Navarrete scored a hat trick and Jeronimo Agudelo Alvarez scored a brace (two goals) to power the Patriot offense.
“We continued our theme from Haverhill (a 7-1 win) of starting out with a strong half,” said RHS head coach Gerardo Rodriguez. “We are starting to get in a little rhythm now of jumping out on teams in the first half and essentially submitting them with goals.
“We were up 5-2 at half time,” Rodriguez continued. “We gave up some silly goals that we worked on fixing the next day. We allowed a goal in the last 15 minutes when I threw the bench in completely. But overall, it was a dominant performance, even while missing a couple of people who picked up some knocks from the Haverhill game.
“We’re really trying to put together an 80-minute game where we keep a clean sheet, especially now that we seem to have our forward line in a groove,” Rodriguez added.
The Patriots continued their current theme of starting out strong in the first half, moving out to a 3-1 advantage at the intermission, and then adding two more goals in the second half.
“I was overall content with our performance,” said Rodriguez. “Once again we had a very dominant display of possession and the finishing is becoming clinical. The one negative was that we played the last 15 minutes with 10 men because one of our players earned a red card after a scuffle. It being one of my captains makes it more disappointing because he made an emotionally-selfish choice.
“But in terms of gameplay, I was very content,”Rodriguez continued. “We even scored our fifth goal with 10 players.The goal-scoring sequence began with our goalkeeper outletting a pass, which then led to five more passes as we moved the ball down the field to a forward, who tucked it in the Watertown net. The impressive part was doing that with 10 men vs. 11.”
Navarette and Agudelo Alvarez both scored braces and Imran Sarhrani added a solo goal.
Rodriguez and his crew, who now are 6-1 overall and are 3-0 in the GBL, were scheduled to face GBL rival Lynn Classical yesterday (Tuesday) and will host non-league opponent Boston Latin Academy Saturday evening at 5:00 that will be highlighted by Senior Night festivities.
They will trek to GBL foe Medford next Tuesday.

Although the Revere High boys cross country team came up on the short end of a 25-35 decision to Chelsea last Wednesday, coach Mike Flynn was pleased with his squad’s effort.
“The boys ran really well,” said Flynn. “You can see their improvement. Every runner improved their time greatly from last week at Belle Isle, even though the conditions were slower with the wind.”
The Patriot duo of Kosta Stamatopoulos and Diogo Yogi finished 1-2, with Kosta coming across the line in 17:14 and Diogo right behind in 17:15.
Luke Imperato finished in 9th with a time of 20:01. Emanuel Taylor ran what Flynn termed “an excellent race” and finished in 11th place with a time of 21:28. Wei Chen finished in 12th with a time of 21:46 to round out the Patriots’ top five runners.
