By The Advocate     To say it wasn’t a good night to be on the receiving end of a frustrated Crimson Tide football team that fell out of Super Bowl 2018 contention by a field goal in a 23-20 loss to Central Catholic is an understatement when Everett High trotted onto the Acton-Boxborough home field last Friday evening. The first half saw Everett’s senior wide receiver, Mike Sainristil, and sophomore quarterback “Duke” Doherty put on a TD showcase with three touchdown receptions for 39, 66 and 75 yards.

Her attention to detail was impeccable. I would also like to thank the…

The number 1 seeded Football Tide handed number 8 Andover a serious beatdown thanks to the senior offensive attack of Mike Sainristil, Isaac Seide and Gilbert Kabamba along with sophomore quarterback Dillon “Duke” Doherty. Seide rushed for two touchdowns combining for 113 yards for a 21-0 Tide lead. The highlight of…
