EHS Boys Basketball Wins Opening Two Games

The Everett High boys basketball team opened the defense of its Greater Boston League (GBL) title with a pair of victories last week against GBL rivals Revere and Medford.

In the season-opener at Revere last Tuesday, the Crimson Tide pulled out an exciting 63-60 victory in overtime before a large crowd at the Revere Fieldhouse that included a host of Everett fans. The Crimson Tide sank six free throws in the OT session to break the 57-57 deadlock after regulation to cement the victory.

Coach Stanley Chamblain’s crew, who are ranked 13th in the state in the Boston Globe poll, had a bit of an easier time in their next outing two days later at Medford, a 60-45 triumph over the Mustangs.

Steven Cordero topped the scoring column for the Tide in both contests with 21 (vs. Revere) and 25 (vs. Medford) points. Kevin Ruiz (15 points) and David DeSouza (14 points) also reached double figures in the contest at Revere.

“Although Steven was our high scorer in the second game, it was our defense that guided us to victory over Medford,” said Chamblain. “We forced 19 turnovers in that contest and played team-stifling defense to walk away with the win.”

The Crimson Tide were set to travel to 1-1 Malden last night (Tuesday) and then will participate in the Boston Amateur Basketball Club (BABC) Classic holiday tourney at Cathedral High in the South End, taking on B.C. High, the defending Division 1 state champ, on December 27, and the Jeremiah Burke School on December 28. Both of those contests will tip off at noon-time.
