The “E” Club of Everett held its Annual Awards Dinner Nov. 15 at Spinelli’s, Peabody.
The ‘E’ Club is a non-profit organization providing scholarship grants for Everett High School student-athletes. The organization is led by Executive Director Carl Colson and President Michael LaCourt.
Third Vice President Holly Garcia did an admirable job as the emcee of the speaking program.
Tony Massarotti, who is co-host of the No. 1-rated Felger and Mazz show with Michael Felger, on 98.5 The Sports Hub in Boston, was the guest speaker. Massarotti, an author of five books and former Herald and Globe sportswriter and columnist, showcased his incredible knowledge of the Boston sports scene (and his trademark wit) in his remarks. Massarotti also took questions from guests in the audience.
The E Club Citation of Achievement Award recipients were:
Stacy Poste Schiavo, the phenomenal former All-Scholastic EHS softball pitcher who has become one of the state’s most successful softball coaches with more than 330 career victories. Schiavo was honored for her volunteer efforts at the Everett Grace Food Pantry during COVID-19 and helping to deliver desks to more than 350 students in the Everett school district.

An Everett captain, Zamor will be continuing his career at Boston College. Everett head coach Justin Flores was on hand to personally congratulate Zamor on receiving the evening’s major athletic award.
