Revere dominates Chelsea 8-2
The Revere High School Patriots boys soccer team continued its dominance in the Greater Boston League with a resounding 8-2 victory over Chelsea on Oct.15. The Patriots’ potent attack was on full display, led by standout performances from Patrick Valentim and Angel Ortez.
The match started with Revere asserting control early. Valentim opened the scoring with his sixth goal of the season, finishing a well-placed pass from Ortez. Revere’s midfield maestro, Brayan Medina, followed up with his third goal of the campaign, assisted by Gustavo Santos. Valentim then doubled his tally for the night, latching onto another precise ball from Santos.
Ortez, already a standout throughout the season, further cemented his place as a Revere key offensive weapon. He netted his 11th and 12th goals of the season, the first assisted by Francisco Navarette and the second following a neat setup from Medina. Ortez’s relentless attacking play continued as he completed his hat trick with an unassisted effort, bringing his season total to 13 goals.
As the match progressed, Revere showed no signs of slowing down. Nicolas Ruiz added his first goal of the season with a well-taken unassisted strike, and Santiago Velez closed out the scoring with his sixth of the season, again unassisted, as the Patriots cruised to an 8-2 win.
Revere/Malden golf finishes strong
The Patriots concluded their season on the links with a 4-6-1 final record.
Last Tuesday, Revere/Malden had the privilege to participate in a non-league scrimmage match against Peabody at Salem Country Club in Peabody. Most recently, Salem Country Club hosted the United States Senior Open in 2017. The course, designed by renowned course designer Donald Ross, is the pinnacle of New England golf with beautiful foliage lining the fairways and tall fescue in place to penalize arid shots.
“Our team was extremely grateful for the opportunity to play on such a beautiful and historic course,” Revere/Malden coach Brandon Pezzuto said. “We very much appreciate the Peabody team and Coach Cronin for hosting us.”
Some Malden/ Revere highlights include a 20-foot putt to save par on hole 1 and 74-foot birdie putt made by Revere’s Frankie Annunziata on the second hole.
Additionally, Malden’s Chris MacDonald chipped in to make birdie on the fifth hole, and sophomore Joshua Mini of Malden made a 100-foot putt on the sixth hole.
“There was certainly a little golf magic in the air on this special day. It was amazing to watch our players enjoy the game and hit incredible shots along the way,” Coach Pezzuto said. “Peabody also played great. One of the most notable shots of the day came from their number two player, Mason Clickstein, senior captain. The shot came on the seventh hole, a difficult uphill Par 4. Was able to hole out from 160 yards to make an eagle, bettering his MHS/RHS opponent Bo Bogan of Malden, who made a well-played par after hitting his approach shot to 10 feet and then two-putting.”
Revere/Malden won the scrimmage, 37-35.
Revere field hockey battles Malden in loss
Revere field hockey came up just short against Malden, 1-0.
“It was an incredible game, and our team played so well,” Revere coach Alex Butler said. “Isa Mendieta did an incredible job at the midfield keeping the ball wide and making plays up the side of the field. Victoria Ackles also had an incredible save on defense that prevented Malden from scoring. Although our team was unable to score, Gemma Stamatopolous had a few great shots on goal. Gigi Zierten, Jordan Martelli and Kyle Lanes drives up the field were a huge part of our team’s ability to carry the ball up the field and put pressure on Malden’s defense. Overall, both teams looked so strong, and it was a great game to watch.”
