RHS flag football splits two contests
The Revere High flag football team split its two contests this past week, defeating Chelsea, 25-6, but falling to Peabody, 35-0.
The Patriots came out strong vs. Chelsea, scoring on their first drive. Chelsea responded and scored right afterwards, but Revere responded with a TD when senior captain Olivia Rupp came up big with a touchdown on a sneak play to give Revere a 13-6 at the half.
The Lady Patriots then took control after the intermission with two unanswered touchdowns to claim the victory. Captain Sarah Lechheb turned in another solid performance, scoring two touchdowns. Junior quarterback Paula Lopez had an outstanding game with 19 completions.
“Our second game against Peabody was a tough battle,” said RHS head coach Becky Coots. “Peabody scored on their first two drives. Sophomore Wilsa Depina made a clutch goal-line interception to stop Peabody from going up three scores before the half, but we just couldn’t get the ball in the end zone. We made our way down the field, but couldn’t put any points on the scoreboard.
“While losing is never fun, sometimes our losses show us more than our wins,” Coots added. “This loss showed us the areas we still need to work on. I’m beyond confident in this team and what they can do.”
The Patriots were scheduled to head to Somerville yesterday (Tuesday) to take on Triton and Pioneer Charter Team 2. They will travel to Pentucket next Tuesday to meet Essex Tech and Somerville when the RHS seniors will be honored for their contributions to the flag football program.
