The Everett High School girls’ basketball team (2-4) began the new year with a tough loss against visiting Revere on Thursday, Jan. 4, 59-36.

“We fought throughout the entire game, and really pushed it up court hard in the fourth quarter in an attempt to get back into the game,” said Coach Riley Dunn. “But we just couldn’t seem to bridge the gap in the end.

“I was really proud of their hustle,” added Dunn. “Casey Martinez was our hot shooter in the fourth quarter, finishing up with 17 points to pace the offensive attack.”

Captain Emilia Maria Babcock was next in line with 11 points to go along with four rebounds.

“We have since been looking to regroup to get ready for the next three straight big games on the schedule,” said Dunn. “We are now ready for more games against our Greater Boston League (GBL) opponents (Medford, Jan. 9, and Malden, Jan. 10 after press deadline) and a great MVC (Merrimack Valley Conference) matchup versus visiting Lowell tonight (Jan. 12), starting at 7 p.m.

The Crimson Tide girls will then be at Chelsea to go up against the Red Devils on Tuesday, Jan. 16, beginning at 5:30 p.m. Two days later, the Lynn Classical Bulldogs come to town for a 7 p.m. game. Everett’s lone two wins to date were against Chelsea (55-23, Dec. 14), and Lynn English (43-32, Dec, 21). They lost to Lynn Classical the first time around, 36-26 on Dec. 18.
