The Everett High School winter sports seasons have concluded, and now it’s the awards season for those athletes who stood out in their respective fields of endeavor. The following is the list of Greater Boston League (GBL) all-stars from Everett, who participated in the eight extra-curricular sports on the Tide’s winter calendar.
The boys basketball team finished the regular season with a 15-5 record. They were the 36th seed in the Division 1 state tournament. They ended up losing to host Haverhill (10-11, 29th seed) in a preliminary round heartbreaker, 69-67. The Hillies sank a clutch three-point basket with 6.6-seconds left on the clock to seal the deal.
Despite the bitter loss, the Everett boys, under the direction of first-year head coach Gerard Boyce, still had a tremendous season, and as a result they were awarded with three players making the league all-star team. Junior Jaysaun Coggins, and seniors Lian Dorosario and Allsin Desruisseaux made the elite squad in recognition of their extraordinary play on the court this winter.
The girls basketball team finished up with an 8-12 record, but they were still in the postseason mix right up until the final week of the regular season. Emilia Maria Babcock and Malaica Guillaume did their part to keep their teammates in the Division 1 state tournament hunt, and for their efforts they too made the GBL all-star team.
The Everett boys co-op hockey team finished up with a 6-13-1 record. They did not qualify for the Division 3 tournament. Jake Simpson and Jacky Summers, both of Malden, were chosen all-stars by the league coaches to represent the club.
Darrynn Desrameaux and Suzanne Maharjan are the girls indoor track all-stars from Everett, while Kayshaun Eveillard, Dawens Germain and Donald Michel made the star-studded GBL boys squad. Maria Medeiros and Kevin Argueta are the Tide’s wrestling all-stars. Hockey cheerleaders Rebecca Hickey and Alyssa Parziale also went to the head of the class as league all-stars, along with basketball cheerleader Ana Luiza Silva.
