Patriot girls Basketball open season at 1-2

After dropping its season opener at Everett last Tuesday, the Revere High School girls’ basketball team rebounded with a 56-29 win at Somerville last Friday. The Patriots suffered their second loss of the season at Lynn Classical on Tuesday.

In the win over Somerville, junior captain Haley Belloise scored a team-high 16 points while Belma Velic contributed 13 and Bella Stamatopoulos eight. Though it was an improvement over the previous 46-28 loss at Everett, head coach Chris Porrazzo told the press after the victory that there is still work to be done.

“Even though we won, we noticed a lot of things on the game film that we need to get better at,” he observed. “Our best basketball is ahead of us and we are going to keep working hard every day to get better.”

On Tuesday at Lynn Classical, the Patriots dropped a 58-35 decision to the host Rams. Shayna Smith poured in 12 points and grabbed six rebounds to lead Revere. Marwa Riad added 10 points and hauled down four boards.

The 1-2 Patriots resume action when they participate in the Milton Holiday Tournament next week.
