The Revere High boys soccer team posted a pair of big victories this past week to improve to a sterling 9-1-1 on the season. Coach Gerardo Rodriguez’s crew now is ranked #14 (as of last Friday morning) in the MIAA’s Division 2 power rankings.
After a 3-0 shutout at Greater Boston League (GBL) rival Medford last Tuesday, the Patriots traveled to non-league opponent Methuen and enjoyed a happy bus ride home after an 8-1 rout of the Rangers.
Rodriguez and his crew were scheduled to host GBL foe Malden yesterday (Tuesday) and will travel to GBL adversary Somerville next Tuesday. The Patriots, who already have punched their ticket for a Journey to the Tourney, are undefeated and atop first place in the GBL.
RHS field hockey defeats Everett, 2-0
The Revere High field hockey team posted a key victory at Greater Boston League (GBL) rival Everett by a score of 2-0 Wednesday afternoon.
Zizi Kalliavas and Nicole Miranda scored the goals for Revere.
“Everyone gave it their all and worked really hard and it paid off,” said RHS head coach Victoria Correia. “We had no subs and basically played 10 players at the end of the game, but they kept up with Everett the entire time.
“It was by far one of our best games so far,” Correia added. Everyone talked throughout the entire game, played position well, and helped each other out and picked each other up. I was really proud of them.”
The win boosts the Patriots (1-0) into first place in the Greater Boston League (GBL) vs. rivals Everett (1-1) and Malden (0-1), who are the only schools in the GBL with a field hockey program.
Revere is scheduled to travel to Malden today (Wednesday) and to non-league rival Methuen on Friday. They will host Everett next Monday and hit the road to non-league opponent Greater Lowell next Tuesday.

RHS girls cross country holds Senior Day
The Revere High girls cross-country team dropped a 20-36 decision to Lynn English last week.
The Lady Patriots recognized their two seniors, captain Emma DeCrosta and Tram Vu, for their contributions to the RHS girls cross country program.
“Both Emma and Tran have provided the team with good leadership, amazing support, and laughs – each in their own way — over the season,” said RHS head coach Katie Sinnott.
“While we didn’t have the result we expected sophomores, Afomiya Wondemagegnhu and Dakota Hernadez both ran personal bests. Each took off about two minutes from their previous best times on our home course,” said Sinnott. “This is the second week in a row that Dakota has had a personal record (PR). She continues to improve week to week, which is really what I love to see.
“Each week I want the girls to not only race the other team, but race their previous bests,” Sinnott added. “We have two more regular season meets and the League Meet, which will close out our season.”
Overall result:
Lynn English 20
Revere 36
Individual result:
Emma DeCrosta – 1st overall – 23:30
