EHS Girls Basketball Looks To Get Back on Track
The Everett High girls basketball team was looking to get back on the winning track with a contest at Greater Boston League (GBL) rival Chelsea yesterday (Tuesday).
The Lady Crimson Tide came up short in their three games this past week.
Last Tuesday, coach Riley Dunn’s squad dropped a 46-45 decision to GBL foe Medford in overtime. Emilia Maria Babcock turned in a superb effort, pouring in 22 points and grabbing six rebounds. Kaesta Sandy, who made some big plays down the stretch, reached double figures with 10 points and pulled down seven boards.
In addition, “Casey Martinez and Taisha Alexandre both took charges for the team on defense, boosting the energy when we needed it,” said Dunn. “Sonia Constanza Flores and Malaica Guillaume were also consistent defensive forces battling for rebounds, getting big stops, and never giving up.
“We went down in the game early, but continued to battle the entire time,” Dunn continued. “We had numerous people stepping up on the team doing the little things — taking charges, grabbing big rebounds, and making big plays under pressure. Unfortunately, we didn’t come up on the other side, but I’m proud of the girls’ fight and ‘never quit’ attitude.”
Last Thursday, the Lady Crimson Tide fought hard with another GBL foe, Malden, but fell just short once again, 40-38.
“It seemed to be a week of close games,” noted Dunn. “We lost another tough battle to Malden. It was a high-intensity, high-energy game throughout each quarter — really great energy for a girls high school basketball game. Unfortunately, we didn’t end up on top.”
Malaica Guillaume was all over the boards with her second double-double of the season, scoring 14 points, pulling down 12 rebounds, making three steals, and blocking two shots. Emilia Maria Babcock also once again was a force for Everett, scoring 11 points, grabbing five rebounds, and was everywhere on defense with five steals.
This past Friday Dunn’s crew took on non-league opponent Lowell and dropped a 52-39 decision.
“It was another tough loss,” said Dunn. “We came out strong and stayed with Lowell most of the game with a very tough defensive effort and great contributions on offense. We are definitely growing as a team and it is starting to show on the court. We’re looking to get a ‘W’ next week as we continue to get better.”
Emilia Maria Babcock had another impressive stat line, snagging her first double-double, with 16 points, 10 boards, four assists, and three steals. Malaica Guillaume chipped in six points, six caroms, two assists, and two steals in leading the Tide’s defensive effort.
After last night’s contest with Chelsea, Dunn’s crew will host GBL rival Lynn Classical tomorrow (Thursday) evening with the opening tip set for 7:00. They will travel to GBL opponent Lynn English next Tuesday.
EHS Boys Hoop Hosts Lynn English Tuesday for 1st Place
The Everett High boys basketball team, which rebounded from its first Greater Boston League (GBL) loss of the season to Revere with victories over GBL rivals Medford (75-61) and Malden (54-40) this past week, will host GBL foe Lynn English next Tuesday in what shapes up as a battle for undisputed possession of first place in the GBL.
Both teams presently have one loss in the league. The Crimson Tide leashed the Bulldogs in the teams’ first meeting earlier in the season in a barnburner, 65-61, and the rematch at the EHS gym promises to be more of the same before what should be a packed EHS gym. The opening tip is set for 7:00.
Prior to that battle, coach Gerry Boyce and his crew were scheduled to host Chelsea yesterday (Tuesday) and will travel to Lynn Classical tomorrow (Thursday).
