Medford became the marquee athletic program of the GBL with no less than 3 Greater Boston League championships: Football, Boys Cross Country and Boys and Coed Golf. Revere Boys Soccer won its first-ever GBL Championship and its top two players, Brayan Medina and Angel Ortez, were Boston Globe All-Scholastic and GBL Most Valuable Player, respectively,

Medford’s athletic teams produced the most All-Stars this past fall, with 19 named.
