Patriots show early promise across spring sports despite tough openers

By Dom Nicastro

The Revere High School spring sports season is underway, and while early results have brought some growing pains, there have already been strong individual performances and encouraging signs across several programs — especially on the diamond.

Softball shows offensive firepower in season opener

The Revere softball team, led by coach Megan O’Donnell, showed both offensive firepower and resilience in a tough 9-6 loss to Minuteman Regional this past week. Despite the setback, the Patriots controlled much of the game early, jumping out to a four-run lead and outhitting their opponent, 10-3.

Senior Frankie Reed paced the offense with three hits, while Addi Ulwick and Caleigh Joyce helped ignite a productive first and third inning. Ulwick drove in two runs and went 2-for-4 at the plate, continuing to establish herself as a key presence in the lineup.

Anna Doucette also contributed with two hits, while Gianna Chiodi added speed on the basepaths with a pair of stolen bases. In the circle, Danni Hope Randall delivered an impressive performance with 15 strikeouts over six innings, keeping Revere competitive throughout.

However, a big inning by Minuteman Regional ultimately shifted the momentum. Still, the Patriots showed clear signs of offensive depth and pitching strength heading into their next matchup against Lynn Classical.

Baseball battles but can’t capitalize in opener

The Revere baseball team, under coach Sebastian Salvo, also opened the season with a competitive effort but fell 6-2 to Lynn Classical.

Revere actually outhit Lynn Classical, 7-4, with Domenic Bellia leading the way at the plate. Bellia finished 2-for-3 with two RBI, providing the bulk of the team’s offensive production. Joseph Angiulo added pressure on the bases, stealing two bags and reaching base multiple times.

On the mound, George Papalambros took the loss for Revere. The starting pitcher went four innings, surrendering six runs (one earned) on three hits, striking out six and walking three.

“We had the bases loaded three times but never capitalized,” said Salvo. “Six errors in the field didn’t help us either, but it’s Game 1 and we know what we need to work on.”

Boys volleyball builds momentum with strong start

The Revere boys volleyball team is off to a solid start, earning a 3-1 win over Somerville and a 3-0 win over Medford in its latest matches.

Against Medford, Larry Claudio had 21 assists and six kills, and Juan Perez added 15 kills and three aces. Chris Choc Chavez contributed 13 assists while Jeffrey Garcia added seven kills.

Chavez led the offense against Somerville with 22 assists, while Claudio delivered a standout all-around performance with 16 assists, 11 kills, and three blocks. Perez added 13 kills and three blocks, helping power the Patriots to victory.

Under coach Lianne O’Hara Mimmo, the program continues to grow, now featuring approximately 30 student-athletes across all levels.

The team is led by captains Anass Ouldzenagui, Chavez, and Perez, a trio that brings leadership, consistency, and competitive energy to the court. Coming off a strong 16-6 season, the Patriots are leaning on team chemistry and experience as key strengths.

“Our depth and willingness to play as a team should be key assets this season,” O’Hara Mimmo noted.
