(Advocate photos by Tara Vocino) Revere voters help set stage for November as Mass. primary delivers key results By Anthony Boyd R evere voters headed to the polls on Tuesday, Sept. 3 as Massachusetts Democrats and Republicans settled a series of closely watched primary contests, setting the stage for November’s general election while deciding which candidates will carry their parties’ banners into the fall. Among the biggest statewide storylines was the race for governor. Gov. Maura Healey was unopposed in the Democratic primary, while Republican voters selected Mike Minogue over Brian Shortsleeve to challenge her in November. Minogue defeated Shortsleeve statewide and will now face Healey in the Nov. 3 general election. In Revere, Healey received 3,050 votes on the Democratic ballot. On the Republican side, Minogue received 982 votes, compared with 197 for Shortsleeve, according to unoffi cial results from the Revere Election Department. The governor’s race was one of several contests that gave Revere voters a chance to weigh in on the political direction of the state, but participation remained relatively modest. A total of 4,972 Revere voters cast ballots, representing 14.97% turnout, according to unoffi cial results from the Revere Election Department. Election Commissioner Danielle Pietrantonio described Tuesday as a slow election day, noting that several races were VOTERS | SEE Page 2 State Representative Jessica Giannino and State Representative Jeff rey Turco campaigned last Thursday night in front of St. Anthony of Padua Parish. ׉ Ú0s3://rxnklKalUAd7W93681FVg23p5_pHF1RI-cLlvSkUDAwÍ8øÍ`ÌÔÍ×j™¹ÕÏyìS½ÝÊÎ×j™¹ÕÏyìS½ÝÊÍÍ ªÍrבC’טšÍUÍru׉œ“׉ Ú0s3://uPLKzGYvgnytX0v7iFNAV2W0GCwlETFBgnHCxlPGrGYÎUüÍ`Í'Íp׉ Ú0s3://DP4aqUzhpQzmENs_4H1O7yG9ZUl9wvaMAra4SHFE_LAÍÀaÍ`ÍÍà׉ Ú0s3://g7wTMCR-frGH6zJckA4dS145DuNQDohHYMXT9G45NAIÍ6ÍÍ`ÌÔÍ×j™¹ÕÏyìS½ÝÊëטšÍUÍUÍru׉œ“׉ Ú0s3://G7NLwpxiokZ8TvMJyx890R3duDULbI4bhoCkwj_YNsUÎëÜÍ`Í'Íp׉ Ú0s3://WE_DCGMqZckWhS6ttWe3Bgohlw582qloe7Z5uCsjL04Í®ÄÍ`ÍÍà׉ Ú0s3://OyXBnM1JnoTh_LCEsSEcSoiHp_rlgzhfr9bGZe2srMYÍ6yÍ`ÌÔÍ×j™¹ÕÏyìS½ÝÊì’× ×j™¹ÕÏyìS½ÝÊó͘ÍÍ~9×H»http://WWW.SABATINO-INS.COM× × Ј× ×j™¹ÕÏyìS½ÝÊòÍæÍ Í9×HÚ mailto:lsimeonejr@simeonelaw.net× × Ј׉EÚ?Page 2 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 2026 VOTERS | FROM Page 1 uncontested. “Turnout was very low, slow day, but a lot of the races were not contested,†Pietrantonio said. “Numbers could have been higher.†Even so, this year’s turnout was higher than the city’s previous comparable primary. Revere recorded 11.6% turnout in the September 2024 primary, meaning participation increased by more than ~ ESTATE SALE ~ EVERYTHING MUST GO!

Massone Family Owned & Operated three percentage points this year. “It was higher than we thought, even though it was low, but was higher in reality than typically for a primary election,†Pietrantonio said. For Revere voters, one of the most closely watched local contests was the Democratic primary for the 19th Suff olk District, where incumbent state Rep. Jeff Turco faced challenger LeeAllen Matthew Meyer. According to unofficial results, Turco won the Revere portion of the race with 1,134 votes, compared with 558 for Meyer. The contest offered voters a choice between an incumbent who has represented the district on Beacon Hill since winning a 2021 special election and a challenger seeking to unseat him. Revere voters also participated in the Democratic primary for the 5th Congressional District, where U.S. Rep. Katherine Clark faced Jonathan Paz and Tarik Samman. Clark, a Revere resident and the incumbent congresswoman, received 2,608 votes in the city. Paz received 535 votes, while Samman received 241, according to unofficial results. The results put Clark in a strong position heading into the general election after she secured the Democratic nomination statewide. The U.S. Senate primary was another major statewide contest that drew attention from Revere voters. Incumbent Sen. Ed Markey defeated U.S. Rep. Seth Moulton for the Democratic nomination, overcoming Moulton’s campaign message centered in part on generational change. Markey will face Republican John Deaton in November. Revere voters gave Markey 2,588 votes, compared with 1,031 for Moulton. On the Republican ballot, Deaton received 941 votes, according to unoffi cial results. The Suff olk County district attorney’s race also provided Revere voters with a competitive Democratic primary. Incumbent District Attorney Kevin Hayden faced former district attorney and former U.S. Attorney Rachael Rollins and Attorney Linda G. Champion. Hayden led the Revere vote with 1,763, followed by Champion with 855 and Rollins with 660, according to unofficial results. Because the Suff olk County district attorney’s offi ce oversees criminal prosecutions in Revere, Boston, Chelsea and Winthrop, the race carried particular signifi cance for local voters. While the number of people voting remained relatively low, Pietrantonio said participation through mail-in voting was stronger than the Election Department had anticipated. The city sent out approximately 3,500 mail-in ballots, with about 2,700 returned. “We had a lot more requests for mail-in ballots, and it exceeded our expectations of what we wanted back,†Pietrantonio said. Early voting was also steady ahead of Tuesday’s election, according to the Election Department. Despite the rain that fell across the region Tuesday, Pietrantonio said, the election itself went smoothly throughout the city. “No issues at the polls,†she said. “The day was overall pretty good, smooth. No precincts or wards had issues.†Pietrantonio said the rainy weather may have discouraged some residents from heading to the polls, but she considered the overall operation a success. The increase in turnout compared with the 2024 primary also gives the Election Department some reason for optimism heading toward November. Pietrantonio said she believes Revere voters are becoming increasingly engaged in elections and expects that engagement to continue. “More engagement to happen over time,†she said, adding that the numbers show “how people are in tune to today’s politics.†That engagement will likely be put to a larger test in November. “November will have a much bigger turnout,†Pietrantonio said. The Nov. 3 general election will feature the Healey-Minogue governor’s race and the Markey-Deaton Senate contest, along with congressional, state legislative and county races. For Revere, Tuesday’s primary provided an early look at how voters are approaching those contests. While turnout was limited, the city’s participation rate exceeded its 2024 primary fi gure, and the results showed clear preferences in several competitive races. Now, with the primary behind them, candidates will turn their attention to the general election and to convincing a much larger number of Revere voters to return to the polls in November.

Director of Title I and EC-3 Curriculum Briana Tsoupas announced the award during an Early Literacy presentation at the Aug. 18 Revere School Committee meeting, telling committee members she had learned of the new funding just one day earlier. “Just yesterday I learned that we were awarded 132 seats with Ignite Reading for fi rst-grade students through a grant from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education,†Tsoupas said. “So, we’re very excited about that.†The award means RPS will enter its fi fth year partnering with Ignite Reading, a highdosage tutoring program that provides students with daily, one-on-one instruction specifically targeted to their foundational reading needs. The news was part of a broader presentation by Tsoupas outlining the district’s early literacy work and next steps. RPS’s approach is centered on identifying reading needs early and responding with targeted support, beginning with strong classroom instruction and moving through early identifi cation, tiered intervention, progress monitoring, and adjustments based on how individual students respond. “Our goal is supporting every student in becoming a confi dent, successful reader,†Tsoupas’ presentation noted, while emphasizing that the district is building on existing practices and preparing for evolving early literacy expectations in Massachusetts. Through Ignite Reading, participating students receive individualized literacy tutoring each school day with instruction focused on the specifi c foundational skills each child needs to strengthen. The district’s presentation described Ignite as providing daily, oneto-one literacy tutoring, targeted foundational reading instruction, individualized support, and continuous progress monitoring. The program began as a pilot in Revere four years ago and has since grown into an important component of the district’s Multi-Tiered System of Supports. In previous years, hundreds of Revere students have participated, with educators reporting signifi cant improvements not only in reading ability but also in students’ î™îˆî•îˆî—î— î€¤îî˜îîŒî‘î˜î î˜î“î“îîŒîˆî– îî˜îîŒî‘î˜î îî˜îîŒî‘î˜î î™îˆî•îˆî—î— î€¨î™îˆî•îˆî—î— î€¤îî˜îîŒî‘î˜î î˜î“î“îîŒîˆî–  î™îˆî•îˆî—î— î€¤î™îˆî€‘î€ î€¨î™îˆî•îˆî—î— î€™î€”î€šî€î€–î€î€– îˆîîˆî…î•î„î—îŒî‘îŠ î€™î€™ îˆî„î•î– îŒî‘ î˜î–îŒî‘îˆî–î– îŒî‘îœî îŒî‡îŒî‘îŠ î‚‡î€¦î„î•î“îˆî‘î—î•îœ î’î•îŽ îŒî‘îœî îŒî‡îŒî‘îŠ î€§îˆî†îŽî– î„î•î“îˆî‘î—î•îœ î’î•îŽ îˆî†îŽî–  îˆî“îî„î†îˆîîˆî‘î— î€ºîŒî‘î‡î’îšî– î„î•î“îˆî‘î—î•îœ î’î•îŽ î’î’î‘îŠ î‚‡ î˜îîîœ î€¬î‘î–î˜î•îˆî‡ î˜îîîœ î€¬î‘î–î˜î•îˆî‡  î˜îîîœ î€¬î‘î–î˜î•îˆî‡  îˆî“îî„î†îˆîîˆî‘î— î€ºîŒî‘î‡î’îšî– îˆî“îî„î†îˆîîˆî‘î— î€ºîŒî‘î‡î’îšî– îšîšîšî€‘îˆî™îˆî•îˆî—î—î„îî˜îîŒî‘î˜îî†î’î î•îˆîˆ î–î—îŒîî„î—îˆî– î˜îîîœ î€¯îŒî†îˆî‘î–îˆî‡  î’î’î‘îŠ î‚‡î€©î•îˆîˆ î–î—îŒîî„î—îˆî– î˜îîîœ î€¯îŒî†îˆî‘î–îˆî‡ î•îˆîˆ î–î—îŒîî„î—îˆî– î˜îîîœ î€¯îŒî†îˆî‘î–îˆî‡ î’î’î‘îŠ î€±î’îšî‚·î– î—î‹îˆ î—îŒîîˆ î—î’ î–î†î‹îˆî‡î˜îîˆ î—î‹î’î–îˆ î‹î’îîˆ îŒîî“î•î’î™îˆîîˆî‘î— î“î•î’îîˆî†î—î– îœî’î˜î‚·î™îˆ î…îˆîˆî‘ î‡î•îˆî„îîŒî‘îŠ î„î…î’î˜î— î„îî îšîŒî‘î—îˆî•î€„ and Crafting Minds through the Dyslexia Institute.

Second-grade teachers have reported that children who participated in Ignite during fi rst grade often enter the following school year better equipped to access gradelevel curriculum. Ignite officials previously reported that 95 percent of Revere students who reached benchmark reading levels through the program in first grade maintained grade-level profi - ciency the following year. RPS’s broader literacy strategy refl ects that focus on early intervention. Tsoupas explained that Tier I instruction includes the Collaborative Classroom curriculum resource, evidence-based foundational literacy instruction, and work in reading, writing, vocabulary, and comprehension. Teachers also use small-group instruction responsive to student needs, early literacy screening and assessment, and data to inform instructional decisions. When students require additional help beyond core classroom instruction, the district uses SIPPS as its aligned tiered phonics intervention. Students receive targeted support matched to identifi ed foundational skill needs, while educators use data cycles and progress monitoring to determine whether interventions should continue, change, or become more intensive. RPS has also been working with the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education further back in a child’s educational journey, emphasizing that early literacy begins before kindergarten. RPS is pursuing a grant opportunity through the Nellie Mae Education Foundation in partnership with the Great Schools Partnership and is continuing its work with CAPIC and Raising a Reader to strengthen connections among schools, families, and the community, particularly as the district prepares for the transition to the new McKinley School building. While the districts emphasis on early literacy is not new, the schools are adding new initiatives to support students each year. The opening of the Early Childhood Center at the old McKinley Building will be leveraged to assist students even earlier in their learning pathways. School Committee members expressed enthusiasm for the program and interest in seeing updated Ignite achievement data as the partnership moves into its fi fth year. Director Tsoupas will be providing updates later in the school year. î˜îîîˆî• îŒî– îˆî•îˆî€„ ׉ Ú0s3://g_88rKjrgxULCYAH-U9m4l5d23MRixK2yr2s16fQZAYÍ7?Í`ÌÔÍ×j™¹ÕÏyìS½ÝÊÑ׉EÚ;THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 2026 Page 5 Savvy Senior by Jim Miller Smartphones Made Simple for Seniors Dear Savvy Senior, My 79-year-old mom just upgraded from a fl ip phone to a smartphone, but she’s having trouble fi guring it out. Is there a way to make it easier for her to use? --Only Daughter Dear Only, Switching from a fl ip phone to a smartphone can be a big adjustment. What seems second nature to younger users can feel overwhelming to someone who’s never used a touchscreen. Even though the screen is bigger, the text can still be tiny, the buttons hard to tap, and one accidental touch can open an app or change a setting. Even simple tasks like texting or taking a picture can suddenly feel frustrating. The good news is that smartphones can be surprisingly senior-friendly. Both iPhones and Android phones have built-in accessibility features that make them easier to see, hear, and navigate. The exact steps vary depending on the phone, but here are some of the most helpful settings to look for. Apple iPhone If your mom has an Apple iPhone, start by opening the Settings app, then tap Display and Brightness. From there, she can make the text larger, turn on bold text, and use Display Zoom to make icons, buttons, and menus bigger. Even these small changes can make the phone much easier to use. Accessibility offers several helpful tools. VoiceOver reads whatever is on the screen aloud, Zoom enlarges small text or photos, and Voice Control lets her open apps or dictate messages simply by speaking. For a simpler home screen, try Assistive Access. It creates a clean layout with large buttons and fewer apps, and you can lock it with a passcode so it won’t accidentally switch back. For someone moving from a flip phone, this can make using the phone much less intimidating. Google Pixel If your mom uses a Google Pixel, open Settings, then Display, and select Display size and text. She can make words, buttons, and icons larger and increase color contrast to make everything easier to see. Swipe gestures can be confusing for first-time smartphone users. Switching to the traditional three-button layout brings back simple on-screen buttons for Home, Back, and Recent Apps, making navigation much easier. In Accessibility, TalkBack can read text aloud, Magnification zooms in on parts of the screen, Live Caption adds subtitles automatically, Sound Amplifier makes soft sounds louder, and Voice Access lets her control the phone by speaking. Samsung Galaxy If she has a Samsung Galaxy phone, start by turning on Easy Mode. Open Settings, tap Display, and turn it on. This enlarges text and icons, simplifi es the home screen, and adds a slight delay to reduce accidental taps. She can also adjust font size, screen zoom, and switch navigation from gestures to buttons. Accessibility settings improve contrast, off er captions or hearing aid connections, and let her operate the phone with voice commands.

In my case, I was in charge of sports from the youth levels to high school and beyond for the erstwhile Revere Reporter, starting in 1981. It was a labor of love for nine years, but the bond that was developed with the coaches and athletes was broken on a fateful Friday afternoon in July 1990. The economic whims of that era unfortunately caught up with me and the rest of the Reporter staff . It was an emotional time. Suddenly, I realized I wasn’t going to see these people again on an everyday basis. The job loss was made triply diffi cult, because I was also the sports reporter for the Reporter’s Winthrop and East Boston publications. As I moved on to other North Shore newspapers, including The Advocate newspapers, the lessons I learned from those experiences made me a better journalist. Revere taught me that it was important to get to know people to do this job eff ectively, and that point was hammered home just a couple of weeks ago, when I ran into Sal Bottari in a Somerville post offi ce. Bottari was a diminutive point guard star on several of those Revere High School boys basketball teams of the 1980s. He currently lives in Swampscott with his wife Houda and daughter Afi a, a Merrimack College student. Sadly, I didn’t know him at fi rst, but he remembered me right away. We talked for several minutes about the good old days. He even showed me some reunion photos of the athletes that I covered regularly. He told me that they’d get together a few times annually, and inevitably the nicknames that I gave many of them would come up in those conversations. That was my unique style back then to separate myself from the competition. I guess it worked all these years later. But Sal told me why it might have worked back then. In essence, he would say, it was a part of a bigger picture, where individuals were allowed to create their own styles. But in his own words, he said, “coaches and players had their own styles in the 1980s (from the local level to the pros), while today’s athletes lack real identities. They all play the same.†Sal talked about the “great rivalry games†back then in the Parks & Recreation Youth Commission and Junior High School Leagues. He attended the McKinley School, and he loved competing against his friends on the Beachmont, Lincoln and Paul Revere teams. McKinley won the Junior High title in 1982 with Bottari as its point guard. The late, great Peter DiGiulio was the team’s head coach. Peter passed away just two years ago in 2024. “We had tremendous rivalries back then among all four schools, but we were also taught to be good sports,†Bottari said. “Those playoff s were best of three series, and after each game we’d go home and watch the Celtics play the Sixers or the Big East schools on TV. Pro and college coaches and players had their own identities, and that style of play fi ltered down to us. It was a great time to watch and play sports.†Parks and gyms were always fi lled with kids playing games all the time. “They’d turn out the lights at the old Hill Park, when we just wanted to play. We had to go to the nearby fi re station and begged them to put the lights back on,†Bottari said. But they also had allies in the Parks Department “(Bob) “Ace†McCarrick kept score at our outdoor games,†Bottari said. McCarrick’s colleagues Roger Naples and Helen Papa also had the kids’ best interests at heart, along with their boss Lee Rizzo, who was the Parks commissioner during the 1980s. One of Sal’s favorite youth coaches was Danny Anderson. Danny, who passed away in 2007, was the longtime coach of the Talisman. “Danny Anderson was a great coach, and was years ahead of his time,†the diminutive point guard said. “He’d take money out of his own pocket to buy us uniforms and jackets, plus pizza after games.†Sal also played on Revere travel teams, and Paul Carrabes was one of his coaches. Paul was also active in Pop Revere High School boys basketball teams from the 1980s get together regularly with their head coach Kevin McCann.

Sal often sees the Merullo’s, dad Joe and son Mike, at the reunions. He also attends Endicott College men’s basketball games with them to watch their grandson and nephew Matt Boen play for the Gulls the last few winters. Matt will be a senior on this year’s team. Joe’s daughter, Michele, is Matt’s mom. Joe, better known as the Ageless Wonder, was a physical education teacher at Revere High School throughout the eighties after being a legendary athlete in the city. The University of Michigan graduate also served as the Jewish Community Center’s athletic director. It was located on Nahant Avenue. He still resides in the Point of Pines section of the city, while son Mike, who played baseball and basketball at the high school, lives in Reading with his family. During the 1980s, there were so many other personalities in Revere that also made sports so much fun to cover for a newbie reporter. In the fi rst couple of years, you had Coach Jim Palumbo’s boys hockey team that had the Restiano brothers, Larry and Andy, as two of its stars. Longtime RHS athletic director and football coach Silvio Cella stepped away from the gridiron in 1983. His son Mike then succeeded his dad as the team’s head coach a couple of years later. Revere also had legendary baseball coaches.

Mike Cristiano was its fi rst coach. There was also legendary RHS softball coach Joe Nichinello, who guided the likes of Jen Wells, Lisa Orlandello and Chris Craig to deep runs in the state tournament annually. The RHS track teams were well-staff ed with the likes of Steve Pavey, Tim Lorden and Frank Gallagher. The school’s boys and girls gymnastics teams were in good hands with Dave and Ann Montani at the helm. Together, the personable couple put the program on the map statewide for many years.

The likes of Kim Kelley, Melissa Moore, Patrice Misiano, Diana Odoardi, Joanna Leone and Robyn Vincent, along with the aforementioned Wells, were responsible for that dominance. There are so many more personalities and stories to mention, but space prohibits singling them out individually. But suffi ce to say, the memories are etched in my mind forever. Thank you, Sal Bottari, for reassuring me on the impact that I might have had among your peers all these years later. Revere Fall teams ready to turn potential into progress By Dom Nicastro T he fall sports season has arrived at Revere High, and with it comes a familiar combination of optimism, opportunity and plenty of new faces. For the Patriots’ girls volleyball and girls cross country programs, the 2026 season will be about developing the next wave of athletes while leaning on a handful of experienced returnees to lead the way. Volleyball enters the fall following another 15-win season and state tournament appearance, while girls cross country is almost entirely new after graduating the runners who helped anchor the program in recent seasons. Volleyball rebuilding after 15-win season Calling this a rebuilding season might be technically accurate for the Revere volleyball team, but head coach Emilie Clemons already sees enough from her new group to believe the Patriots can remain competitive. Revere finished 15-5 last fall and reached the Division 2 state tournament after going 10-3 in Greater Boston League play late in the regular season. The Patriots graduated eight seniors from that group, including Samantha Indorato, Basma Sahibi, Sara Brown, Susan Lemus Chavez, Dayana Ortega, Isabella Arroyave, Samarah Meristal and Jade Dang. That is a lot of varsity experience to replace. “Last year, we graduated eight seniors, who were all veteran players, so I was worried this might be a bit of a rebuilding year,†Clemons said. “However, after having a couple days of practice, I believe that we will be able to compete well against good teams, especially as we continue to develop throughout the season.†Revere got its fi rst opportunity to work together against outside competition during a preseason scrimmage against Methuen. The Patriots will be led by captains Anna Doucette, Sarah Lechheb and Rebecca “Becca†Mercado. Doucette gives Clemons an especially valuable veteran presence. The senior setter has played on varsity for the previous three seasons. “She is a great all-around player and leader,†Clemons said. Senior Sofia Guzman also returns after playing varsity last season and is expected to emerge as one of Revere’s primary hitters.

There is a more experienced group coming back from last year’s young roster. There is a revamped Greater Boston League schedule that will send the Patriots outside the league for half of their games. There are new responsibilities for several returning players and some new faces on the coaching staff . But some of those new faces are actually very old friends. Head coach Lou Cicatelli begins his 24th and fi nal season leading the Patriots surrounded by several former Revere teammates from the successful 1980s squads and lifelong friends, some of whom have traveled across the country to spend one more football season together. And Cicatelli hopes the Patriots can make that fi nal ride a successful one. “We’re going to go for it this year,†Cicatelli said. “Try to get the playoff s.†Revere opens up at home against Quincy Friday, Sept. 11 at 6 p.m. It has other nonleaguers against Beverly, Gloucester and Whittier Tech before getting into league play. The league opponents will be Everett, Somerville, Chelsea and Lynn English. No Medford. No Malden. No Lynn Classical. It’s now a tiered Greater Boston League, and Cicatelli is not a fan. He feels the league should have stayed intact. The Patriots fi nished 4-7 last fall with a roster heavily dependent on underclassmen. Cicatelli believes some of the growing pains the Patriots experienced in 2025 could pay off now. “We were a very, very young team last year,†Cicatelli said. “We were all sophomores and juniors, and most were sophomores. There’s a nice group RHS Head Football Coach Lou Cicatelli giving instructions from the sidelines during last season’s action. (Advocate fi le photo) of juniors, a nice group of seniors. I think we’ll be improved on both sides of the ball.†The Patriots have nearly 50 players in the program and got an early look at themselves during preseason work with Melrose before scheduled scrimmage action coming up against Burlington and Acton-Boxborough. Among the most important returnees is junior Jose Fuentes, who played quarterback last season but fi gures to spend considerably more time at tailback. Fuentes showed his versatility throughout his sophomore season, including throwing two touchdown passes in Revere’s Thanksgiving loss to Winthrop. Cicatelli believes getting Fuentes back into the backfi eld will allow the Patriots to take better advantage of his playmaking ability. “Jose had an amazing sophomore campaign last year,†Cicatelli said. “He looks real good in preseason. So he’s going to carry us. I think he’s totally one of my best players, without question.†Senior captain Sergio Peguero is currently working at quarterback after seeing some time there last season. Fuentes will still have packages in which he lines up behind center. “He can manage a game as can Jose, but we really miss Jose at tailback,†Cicatelli said. “He’s a true tailback. And we think that he’ll give us a lot more, be able to run our offense a lot more eff ectively if he is at that position.†Peguero also plays defensive back. He is joined as captain by senior Silvio Neto, an off ensive and defensive lineman. Cicatelli said the two earned their captain leadership roles through the work they put in before offi cial practices even began, helping organize captains practices and encouraging teammates to get into the weight room. “They did a really good job in the summer with captains practices and going to the weight room, getting the kids to show up and do their part,†Cicatelli said. “Early leadership. Just doing that means a lot, especially at the beginning of the year.†Other players Cicatelli expects to play signifi cant roles include Mani Alejo at defensive end and wide receiver, junior Reda Atoui at linebacker and running back and Anthony Pelatere at slot receiver, wide receiver and linebacker. Cicatelli believes the offense has a chance to take a noticeable step forward. The biggest challenge will be eliminating the kinds of mistakes that hurt a young team a year ago. “We made a lot of mistakes as a young team last year,†Cicatelli said. “That’s a fact, and it did cost some games. That’s the biggest thing. We’ve got to limit mistakes and just be competitive, and try to get to.500 and see what happens.†Revere will have to navigate an unusual schedule to do it. The Greater Boston League has been divided into tiers, leaving the Patriots with only four league games: Chelsea, Everett, Somerville and Lynn English. That forced Revere to fi nd four nonleague opponents, and the Patriots did not exactly search for an easy path. You need a tough schedule to boost playoff chances. “We’ve got a tough schedule. I’m not gonna’ lie,†Cicatelli said. “No easy games, none.†Cicatelli understands one reason for scheduling stronger nonleague opponents. The MIAA playoff power-ranking system rewards teams for playing stronger competition, and he has seen GBL teams — including his own — hurt by the league’s overall strength in playoff qualifi cation. Still, the longtime coach isn’t a fan of a league structure in which teams don’t play one another. “If you’re gonna’ have a league, you play everybody in your league,†Cicatelli said. “That’s the one thing they got away from.†The most personal part of Cicatelli’s fi nal season may be happening on the sideline. Several members of the Revere High Class of 1982 who played together under longtime coach Silvio Cella are back together as coaches. Vinny Gregorio, Cicatelli’s longtime assistant and “right hand guy,†has been with him since Cicatelli took the Revere job. Ed Doris, another teammate, lives in California but has returned to coach wide receivers and is beginning his fourth season on the staff . This year, Rich “Rico†Finelli has joined them. Finelli was a standout quarterback and defensive back for Revere and later played at Boston University on a full football scholarship. After living in California for approximately 25 years, he returned east and rented a place in Wakefi eld as he prepares to spend Cicatelli’s fi nal season coaching quarterbacks. Their connection has survived more than four decades. When Cicatelli was approaching his 100th career victory in 2024, Finelli flew across the country to be there.

Now they are together again, this time trying to teach another generation of Patriots. “We’re best friends,†Cicatelli said. “We’re still hanging around with each other for all these years.†The reunion extends beyond those four. Pat Walsh, who was a younger Revere player when Cicatelli and his classmates were seniors, has also joined the staff . Dan Connors, a Revere native and former Essex Tech head coach, takes over as defensive coordinator. Returning assistants Jose Escobar, Brandon Brito, Jared Gordinas and Adam Aguaouz something round out what Cicatelli describes as one of his deepest staff s. For a coach who has spent decades managing nearly every aspect of the program, that has allowed him to move around practice, help where needed and perhaps enjoy his fi nal season a little more. And that’s the idea. There will be time later for Cicatelli to look back at a Revere career that includes becoming the program’s all-time winningest coach, surpassing Cella, and crossing 100 career victories. For now, there is another team to coach, another diffi cult schedule to attack and one last fall with some of the people who were there when his football life began. “I’m gonna’ have a fun year,†Cicatelli said. “Win, lose, or draw, we’re going to be good.†Law Offices of JOSEPH D.

Jodie was a woman of remarkable warmth who carried a heart so big, it seemed to beat not just for her, but for every soul whose life she touched. She was a caring daughter, loyal friend, and a fervent lover of the simple joys of life. Remembered for her infectious laugh, her stylish wardrobe, and her fondness for Newport cigarettes, Jodie lived a life that was uniquely her own. In the words of Maya AnO f Lynnfi eld formerly of Revere. Passed away on August 26, at the age of 58. Born on October 14, 1967, to PhilREVERE FALL | FROM Page 11 Clemons also has several players returning from injuries and is hopeful that improved health will provide another boost as the Patriots develop. The varsity roster includes Aleina Barreto, Isabella Cushing, Amira Djaider, Anna Doucette, Sofi a Guzman, Caleigh Joyce, Yasmeen Khamis, Sophia Lam, Sarah Lechheb, Rebecca Mercado, Saray Mosquera, Haley Peralta and Saniya Jean-Louis. Michelle Pineda is the team manager. The Patriots have established a winning standard in recent seasons, and despite significant graduation losses, Clemons likes the potential she sees. “Overall, I am excited to see what this season will bring,†she said. New era begins for girls cross country Few Revere teams will enter the fall with as much room for growth as the girls cross country squad. Head coach Katie Sinnott has only one returning runner from last season, meaning much of the Patriots’ lineup will be learning the sport and discovering what it can accomplish along the way. “This year’s team is made up of mostly new to cross country runners as I have only one returning athlete,†Sinnott said. “This means there is a lot of room for growth and tons of potential.†Sinnott expects that inexperience to make the season esgelou, “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forpecially rewarding. With runners starting from relatively fresh baselines, there should be opportunities to see tangible progress as the weeks pass. “There will be numerous opportunities for personal bests in races and the girls will see their running improve week to week,†Sinnott said. “I am excited to coach them and teach them about the benefits of longer distance running.†Senior captain Emma DeCrosta will provide the experience. DeCrosta has been with Sinnott for three years and enters the season following a strong spring track campaign and consistent summer training. Sinnott expects her to be among Revere’s strongest racers. “She has grown a lot over the years and become an integral part of the team,†Sinnott said. “I can count on her to lead any workout and demonstrate any skill. She is enthusiastic and welcoming, and outside of running she is a dedicated student.†DeCrosta is also helping promote the program through its Instagram account, @reverehsxc. Two newcomers Sinnott believes could make an early impact are sophomore Jaelyn Torres and senior Manuela Canaveral Gallego, both of whom enter the season with solid running backgrounds. Revere graduated two accomplished runners in Olivia Rupp and Rania Hamdani, who concluded their careers at last fall’s Division 2A state  îšî’ î„îîŒîîœ î€ î€ªî€µî€¨î€¤î€· î‘î™îˆî–î—îîˆî‘î— îˆî•îˆî‡ î„î— î€‡î€šî€šî€œî€î€œî€“ îˆî•îŽî–î‹îŒî•îˆ î„î—î‹î„îšî„îœ î€«î’îîˆî€¶îˆî•î™îŒî†îˆî– î’îîî’î‘îšîˆî„îî—î‹ î€µîˆî„î î–î—î„î—îˆ î€©î’î•îîˆî•îîœ î€¦î„î•î“îˆî‘îŒî—î’ î€µîˆî„î î–î—î„î—îˆ get how you made them feel.†This quote embodies the essence of Jodie’s life. Her beauty, both inside and out, was undeniably profound, as was her love for her family. She found great joy in her family home in NH and cherished every moment spent with her beloved father, Philip Sr. She had a fl air for making people feel special and loved, and she was fi ercely protective of those she held dear. She was a dear sister of Joseph Genualdo and his late wife Carolyn of Peabody, Philip Genualdo Jr. and his wife Louise of Peabody, and Garry Genualdo and his late husrace at Northfi eld Mountain. Their departure makes this season a signifi cant transition for the program, but Sinnott sees an opportunity to build another group of committed distance runners. “Overall throughout the season I hope to grow interest in the team and the sport,†Sinnott said. The Patriots open their Wednesday meet schedule Sept. 9 at Somerville before hosting Medford on Sept. 16 at Belle Isle Marsh.
