001[Music] Yeah. [Music] Heat. Hey, Heat. [Music] Yeah. [Music] Hey. Hey. [Music] Yeah. [Music] Heat. Heat. Heat. [Music] Hey, [Music] This is a place where the legends before us carried on a legacy of winning. >> Oh, easy pitch down. [Applause] 40 35 30 20 50 touchdown. Easy. No flags. It has always been the passion, determination, and teamwork that makes it who we are. >> The give to Diamond Ferry gets around the corner. One man to beat. Steps it up. He's gone. They're not going to catch him. >> Nobody's going to catch him. He's gone for the touchdown. [Music] >> A commitment to excellence is our way of life. >> Pass and it is intercepted. Who else but Lucas Dennis is there to pick it and it's a pick six forever. Touchdown Krypton. Winning is what we
002know and what we do. Hello and welcome to John Debaza Jr. Field at Everett Veterans Memorial Stadium for today's opening season matchup between the visiting Metroid Mustangs and the Everett Crimson Tide. My name is Anosmani. I'll be your announcer for today. And joining along with me is Paul Hollerin. Hello. Welcome. >> Paul, this is a brand this is a newly named field, new turf, been recently renovated over the past year, but right now it's featuring a matchup that goes back almost a century. What can you tell us about this series rivalry between the Medford Mustangs and the Ever Crimson Tide? >> Yeah, you mentioned the field, the name, we should pay tribute to former coach John DBaso. because he was here for 27 seasons or 92 to 17 26 seasons, 252 wins, 33 losses, winning
003percentage of 884 and 10 Super Bowl titles. But as you mentioned, this series with Medford uh dates back to 1893. Ever has dominated, especially recently in the overall in the series, Ever is 75 42 and5. Ever has won the last 31 straight by an average of 30 points. But before you go thinking then that this is a free square going into the river game last year. They had not lost to river since 1991. And unfortunately we saw how that developed. But you know we talked about coach Diaso Rob Dorettto is back for a second stint coaching the Crimson Tide. He was 20 and3 in a brief stint from 2020 to 2022 which included the co year of 2020 with only three games played in the spring. So Rob comes back this year and he will
004try to put his imprint back on this program. Uh he's an ever guy. It means a lot to him. I had a chance to talk to him on the field before the game. He knows they have their work to do. Uh last year was extremely disappointing. four and six, the first sub 500 season since 1991, which happened to be the year before coach DBaso got here. So, it's clearly a community used to winning, lost a little bit of that luster, especially last year. And I think Rob is up to the task of bringing this program back to where it belongs, which is a perennial contender in division one. As we're talking about the history, we do get a blast from the past with the return of Rob D. Lorettto and you did touch upon some
005of the uh accomplishments John Debi has made always leaving a tough shoe to fill with a record such as his. Well, right. you know, so of course there was Deluxe and Pierre and and then there was Rob and and and then um um Justin the last few years um you know again anyone following him uh I I reeled off his record but what you can do is you know the the program can operate in a similar manner. you might not get the same exact results. You know, frankly, I think last year um we just saw a little bit of a slippage in how the whole operation ran and I think you'll see that returned. Uh, good evening everyone. >> Very quickly under coach Dorado at Veterans Memorial Stadium for tonight's season over by way of
006the Greater Boston League. Please welcome the Medford Mustangs. So Medford is coming on [Music] [Applause] [Music] >> and on the PA is none other than the Josh Alazo. >> So as we say this is um this is important. You know, you want everyone wants to get off on a winning note, right? On everyone's undefeated. Everyone wants to be one and0 after week one, but it's really especially I think important for every as I said, not only to have success tonight, uh cuz frankly, regardless of what happened last year, you know, they're a heavy favorite in a game against Medford. But I think it's as much about, as I said, just how the whole operation runs and um you just in in a few brief minutes talking to Rob on the field before this the game
007tonight. You know, he that's priority number one. You know, >> there is an aura around Everett football that was welld deserved because of that success that coach DBasso brought and that aura has slipped away and I think everyone and you know we're looking at a new field. We got a nice spankly painted press box in here, new counter. So, uh, a new name for the field. Clearly, there is a concerted effort on all parts to turn the page. >> That's right. On August 29th, Mayor Carl Deerev published on his social channels showing some of what was then brand newly renovated at the end of the project showing off what to expect. And now we get to finally see a game being played on it. In that post, there was a special thanks to the finance
008the city's finance department, public works, engineering, planning, and the city council with collaboration of ever public schools to make this field happen. >> Yeah. walls. It's a lot of money, right? You know, you you're talking seven figures to put in a surface like this. They typically last 10 to 15 years. You know, we could see the soccer lines, you know, they'll get a ton of use out of this. Uh turf is, you know, sorry to our natural grass friends, but you're going the way of the dinosaur. You know, you you really have to have turf now to be competitive. a lot of young guys. >> You see the ever coming off the field. They're just looking down on the sidelines. Coach Steve Lorettto has to have some jitters, some butterflies tonight. You know, this means
009an awful lot to him coming back to coach Everett. And uh looks like we are going to have the Everett band lead us in the national anthem. and remove headwear in honor of America for the playing of our national anthem performed by the Everett High School marching band. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] And that was the ever high marching being banned under the direction of Eugene O'Brien. Paul, it's Friday, 81°, perfectly blue skies, the sun is setting in about an hour. Perfect night evening for an opening season game for the Ever Crimson Tide. It is uh Anem. And you know, we talked about last year, one thing we should note despite the the record, which was not good, you know, ever did graduate some key people. They graduated the top three scorers, Yariel
010Ortiz, Mi Santiago, and Carlos Rodriguez. They combined for 77% of all points. Everett has one returning player who scored a touchdown last year. So, there will be some opportunities this year. They graduated. Uh Santiago and Rodriguez combined for 70% of the rushing. Uh Rodriguez was the primary quarterback. So, there are some holes to fill, but we are off. First kickoff received by number 18 David Ronald trying to find the corner going outside gaining ground loses space gets pushed out of bounds at nearly the 30 yd line >> on the return >> he kind of made something out of nothing as we have a Medford uh >> we have an injured player for Medford uh Samuel Destl [Applause] You know, special teams uh was a among many thorns last year. More so the kick receiving team
011kind of had a knack of not covering live balls on kickoff. So that's I'm sure an area that this new staff has focused on. Uh we have see the effort defense uh anem the defense will be run by Dwayne Sigsbury. Dwayne was the highly successful coach at Perka. Beat Everett in 2016 24-21 in overtime. And Dwayne moves over to become the defensive coordinator here. Looks like Metro will be starting off in the shotgun position. Two wide running back flanking to the left of the quarterback number two Travers Moody. Got number one in motion coming from the slot. Pop pass of forward with a C sweep and gets pushed out of bounds after gaining a favorable amount of yardage. >> It does go down as a pass. He kind of shoved it forward. >> Not much
012doing though, only a couple of yards. Pretty good job by the Ever defense there. Second and seven for the Medford Mustangs. On the pup pass, receiving was number one, Gary Martins. senior running back [Music] [Applause] >> coming out with a similar uh the same formation as the last play >> once again. Here's number one in motion looking left. Shoots it deep down the fade caught by number 11. Quesan Lewis Jean cuts it to the middle tries to get an angle pass number one. John Barers get ultimately dragged down. Good play for Medford. Yeah, that was actually David Ronald Ronald David who was wide open down the sideline all the way to the Everett 26 yd line. A gain of 41. [Applause] >> So, as you said in they showed the same look with Martin's emotion.
013This time they let him clear and they went uh with that wheel route down the left sideline wide open. Ever's going to have to tighten that up. >> Thank you for the catch on the miss spoken name. You're correct. It was Ronald David. Now here comes a sweep from the other side. >> Ever in the neutral zone. >> Flag on the play >> and confirmed. It's going to be five yd penalty. That will make it first and five. 5 yd penalty. Still personal. >> So this is not the start that coach Doredo dreamed about over the last five months, >> but you still have a chance to keep him out of the end zone. They're just knocking on the red zone here. First and five, just one yard shy of officially being in the red
014zone. We got two by two look from the shotgun formation. Here's Travis Moody >> for the snap. >> Whistle blows. Might be a timeout. >> Illegal procedure. >> Well, let take that right back. >> I see the flag was thrown in the near side in front of the huddle. Couldn't see it being thrown. So, it was an illegal procedure by Medford. Here we see a replay from the big play that pass connection. >> The good news of him is there were two ever defenders in the screen. The bad news is they were each 5 yardds away from him. >> Quarterback was able to identify the hole in the zone and hit the player in stride. That was a good throw by Trevor's Moody. Here comes a sweep from the slot. It's going to be a
015handoff up the middle to number zero Demi Georgees. number, >> another senior on the Medford team. >> Number four, Jonathan Go. >> Jonathan goes with the tackle after a gain of only two. So, this is really this presents a good opportunity for this Crimson Tide defense right out of the shoot. >> Excellent job by Jonathan Go there. But it is a second and eight for the Medford Mustangs. >> Got a three by one look. Quarterback looking left for a screen play. A tunnel screen gets swarmed by the Everett defense. They go in pursuit by John Barreros. >> Davids. [Music] >> No yards gained on the play. So it'll be third and eight. Take a look at there's a swing pass and excellent job uh by the ever defense. They had a bunch of guys there
016but John Bareros made the stop >> once again. Meford in the shotgun. Two by two split. Moody takes a snap looking right looking for Guar Martins in the slot for a quick short out. >> Armani Negro on the coverage. >> Here's an example of a penalty and name really hurting. You know they had first and 10. Ever got a penalty. Now you're at first and five on the 21. The playbook is wide open. You can really do whatever you want. They give that five right back and since then they've only gained two and now it's a situation where if ever can stop them they pick up a lot of momentum by a stop when it looked like Memphis was going to go right down and score >> and now Memphis is going to be going
017going for it on the fourth down still on the shotgun. We got a sweep from the left but a flag has been thrown. Let's see what the call is. Yeah, there's another five. >> False start by Medford. >> Prior to the snap, false start on the offense. >> It'll now be fourth and 13. >> I mean, you go from first and five to fourth and 13 at this part of the field. That's that's really uh you know, moving shooting yourself in the foot to a degree. Ever defense has come up big too that no yards on a pass completion and two yards on a run. But now the Ever defense is kind of in the drive uh driver seat to just avoid a big play. >> Looks like we have a little bit of a
018man coverage on the defense. Memphis probably looking for the long ball. And yes, we got a far out and that might just be incomplete. >> Yes, pass is incomplete. >> Believe that was number 11 Armani Negro in coverage. And Paul, I must say, I think he better it's better to settle for the incomplete pass and the interception because now every guessing start from the I believe the 35 yd 29 yd line. >> Yeah, that's a clearly as you take a look at the quarterback rolling and this ball is almost intercepted, but uh incomplete is seven yardds better than an interception there. So that's a good start for Everett. Coach Sigbury's defense answers the bell. >> Now we'll get a first look at this offense forever. At quarterback is number >> looks like Tyler Freddy >>
019nine. Tyler Freddy >> Junior hands it off to his running back. >> Finds the edge and gets the first down. >> Jamari Dulan a junior who was not on the stat sheet last year. for a Crimson Tide first. >> That was Jamari Dulan's carry. He brings the ever offense to the 34 yd line. Ever looks like he's going to hurry up with a tight shotgun formation. Hands it off to Dulan once again and gets popped at the 35 yd line. carrier. >> Second and five. >> By number 54, Child. >> Correction. >> Second and eight. >> I'm not sure they spotted this ball, right? It they had the ball fourth and 13 at the Ever 29. So Everett should have started on their 29. They're only at the 36. They gave him a first down
020after the first play. Quarterback power to the right side of the formation and the quarterback takes it past the first yard marker. >> Getting tackled down at the 45 yd line. >> Gorgeous on the tackle. >> That's going to set up third down and short. >> Oh, just short of the first down marker. That is third and one now. Paul, these are interesting formations I'm seeing. I don't even know how to call it at this point. Two running backs flanking the quarterback. Counter play to number one, John Barios. Finds a first down easily. Gets past a safety and going all the way into the end zone for the first score of the game. Touchdown John Barios. >> So John Bareros was one of those guys. I I had to go back and watch the last
021three nonplayoff games last year in order to do the final stats. And you know, frankly, there were a lot of folk take a look at the play counter and then he counters again. It was a counter coming to his left, he went back to the right, and once he got through that initial uh line of defense, he was long gone. And as I was saying, he really showed up and played right to right to the final down last year. Uh unfortunately you weren't able to say that for everyone. So he deserves good things to happen to him. He's a senior and he's got a 50 sevenyd touchdown and we have a penalty on the conversion. >> Off size on Medford. >> Off sides on the defense. So now, how would the Ever Crimson Tide respond
022now? They went for two from the special teams formation, but now maybe they could just run it run a play off the regular playbook. >> Yeah, now you you're at two now. And we don't know, you know, we you asked before the game. You know, Luca Dilva was the kicker last year. He has moved on. So, we're not sure uh if that is part of their repertoire. They have had a run of very very good kickers uh including Dilva last year. Who was 21 for 25 on extra points. >> Ever lining up in tight shotgun formation, but another flag is thrown. >> Illegal substitution on the offense. >> Penalty on the play. Illegal substitution on the offense. I >> think they had 12 plays on the field, which is exactly one too many. >> So
023now what do we do here? Coach D Lorettto says, "Okay, enough of this nonsense. We're going to kick it." So, we're going to find out about the kicking. It looks like it's Steven Thomas. No, it's Barreros. It is Barreras. >> And holding down for the snap is Tyler Freddy. Ball snapped. Kick is up. Ball is through. Seven >> zero Everett. That was a mile high, wasn't it? The entry point is >> so opening position of the opening season and Everest strikes first to take a 70 lead. >> Well, that's a good start. That's a really good turn of events as we said. And by the way, just for the record, they spotted the ball run. Ever should have taken over at their 29. I think they gave it to him closer to about the 21.
024But regardless, I digress. Uh here's the counter to the left now. Barreros is going to go right back to the right. And that was the last person who had a shot at him. He is not getting caught from behind and he is telling everyone yes it's the first touchdown of the season [Music] and now here he is for the kickoff receiving for Medford number 18 Ronald David and I don't see the number on the other one but kick is up and it goes into the end zone >> the other kicker in question was Gary Martins a senior for Medford Medford has 14 seniors on the roster Yeah, Barreros is one of those seniors and every, you know, let's face it, these seniors that are that are back after the last two years, you know, they're
025really going to want to prove. And I say the last two years, I mean, the record, you know, they just the record was fine two years ago, they just schedule prevented them from making the playoffs. But especially coming off last year, if you were on that squad, you really have something to prove. Barreros is playing like it and ever has 16 team seniors on their team. Here's Medford with a strong pistol formation. Gives it up the middle to Garmins and quickly stuffed after what appears to be a couple yard gain. >> Georgees the ball carrier. couldn't couldn't get a look of who made the tackle. >> Shout out to Josh Gazo. He confirmed it was Freddy on the tackle. Jo best PA in the business. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] >> Metro with a flex back. One
026age one back to his left and one back behind him. hands it off to Guame Martins and gets him brought in the back. Brought down in the back field for a loss of I believe one yard. Nathan Fortune >> back by number 74 Nathan Fortune. >> Excellent job by Fortune there getting through wrapping him up not letting him. Back to the 22 will be third and eight. Correct. Third and eight. And that would be a loss on that play. >> Memphis coming out in the same formation. Kind of flipped. Looking for a pass. Looking for an out. Quarterback moves to the right. Tries to launch it deep and intercepted by number six Jeremiah Joseph. Passed directly to him and brought down by the intended receiver Martins. number six. >> Well, that ball was in the
027air a long time a uh getting to its destination and became a jump ball that Joseph clearly Jeremiah Joseph won easily. He ends up returning at 6 yds and ever with good field position taking over at the Medford 42 yd line. >> So, we get to see a second ever possession in this first quarter. We got 5 minutes and 24 seconds left to play and we're excited to see what this offense has to hold. So far, it's been a a power run look to start off the season under Dorettto's style of play. One receiver out wide, fake toss, roll out right. quarterback looking for someone to pass but couldn't find anyone as he gets sacked and brought down in the back field. On the tackles from Medford is number 60 and 74. Number 60 being
028Joshua Mendes on the play >> and 74 not listed on the roster. >> So can't get a name for number 74. >> Always nice Joshua Mendes. >> But that was a loss of two. So again, good job by the Medford D. Second and 12 at the Medford 44 yd line. >> No receivers out on this play. Sticking with a shotgun tight look. >> Another counter. Same play that Jonathan Barry scored on earlier but gained some yards here. Very powerful run as it took a took a whole gang of Mustangs to bring him down. >> Initial tackle >> once again Joshua Mendes junior for the Medford Mustangs. He picked up eight anem so it'll be third and four at the Medford >> 36 in four down territory here. So two downs to get four. >> Here's
029the interception we're seeing on replay. Quarterback throws off the back foot and you'll just see receiver is behind Joseph, but the ball's in the air a long time and just way way underthrown and Joseph was the only guy who had a shot at it and he secured it for his first interception. We got two receivers to the right for Everett. And that's exactly the direction the quarterback's looking for in the post to number two. Jari Doulan with the catch. >> Picks up a huge gain on the play. I got to tell you what, that was a good pattern, a good pass, and a good catch. This was a wellexecuted play for Tyler Franny's first pass. See him directing traffic here. Just you're going to have to take my word for it, but it was a
030good run. >> Honest to God, it was a good battle. I'm telling saw the good patience for the uh hole in the zone to open up. But here the next play quarterback keep on the option and gets brought down at the five yd line. >> Second and goal, I believe. Correction. That is second and 10. >> Yeah, it's at the 14. >> Second down and three. >> So, he got It was at the 14. He got down just almost to the five. >> Sometimes my eyes deceive me from this angle in the press box. Here's a another quarterback keep and brought down just short of the goal line. That'll be a first down >> on the carry. >> That's good for another Crimson Tide first down. >> Now officially first and goal. Everett runs the
031option play backto-back times. Here's a look at the player from two plays before. >> There it is. >> That connection from the uh >> Yep. >> from Freddy to Jamari Doulan. >> Put the ball right in there. Sliding catch. Really well executed play. Here's a formation we're familiar with. Hands it off to John Barios. And good defense by Medford, forcing them, I think, only one yard back. >> Yeah, I always get nervous on that reach for the goal line because I see the ball being pumped out of there. Yeah, especially on first down. You just take the no gain and you still got three downs to get a yard. >> Tackle was made by Demi Georgees for the Mustangs, one of 14 seniors on that team. He actually did lose a yard. [Applause] >> Once
032again, the formation we know and love, peak ever football. Hand off to the running back from the right back. And that might be another loss on the play. That was really, really good backside pursuit by Demi Georgees of Medford. >> Caught Doulan and Everett is back to the three. So this is not progressing well. >> Backto back tackles for losses made by Demi Georgees. Monster at linebacker. Everest now faced with a third and goal with the ball spotted at the three- yd line. [Applause] But Ever going to spread it out just a little bit. We got two receivers to the bottom of the frame near side. It is going to be a keep by Freddy and with a little bit of pre improvisation he makes it into the end zone extending the lead to by
033two possessions 130. This is a really good run by Freddy when we see the replay of name. Initially it looked like he wanted to go wide to the left and it there was contain and you're going to see him switch gears. See him cut back inside there. That's the key. He needed to break the tackle of Georgees around the four yd line. And once he did, he got in. But that's really good seeing of the field by Freddy, the quarterback. Had a little bit of a bump on the throwing arm, which threw off his momentum, but quickly improvised, found the hole, and turned the most of the situation that was given. And now here's the extra point attempt by John Barreros. Up and good. 140. [Music] Two possessions, two scores. 45 seconds left in the
034first quarter. >> Good start to the season for Rob Dorettto and the Crimson Tide. Yeah. And and again, let's just go back and give the D a little credit after giving up that long pass play, you know, buckling down and keeping Medford out of the end zone. And it has been all Everett since then. [Music] So, Barreros will kick off to give Medford its third possession. Herreros kicks it deep and is going to be into the end zone for a touchback. >> I don't think he kicked at all last year. He has got a hell of a leg on back-to-back touchbacks. So, the Medford Mustangs will take over from the 20 yd line. >> Yeah. in Medford uh after a promising start to >> uh stumbled with on losing it on downs and then of
035course the interception >> last play and really >> it's it's been a one play offense that one play for 41 yardds nothing beyond four yards on any other snap for them thus far snaps looks for a wide receiver screen and that was G Martins on the rece receiving part >> on the tackle. >> Gains a couple yards in the play making it second and eight. >> Two yd gain on the play. Second down. >> So complete pass, but Everett has had good pursuit uh name after these catches. Uh not much yak yards after catch. Metro with a snap. Here's a toss to the left to Guierme who takes it to the outside. >> And I believe that was Was that no gain, Paul? >> They are going to give him no gain. >> No gain.
036Third and eight. And coming on the field for the Ever Crimson Tide, Nathan Fortune, >> senior lineman playing. >> Charl Benson was one of the Everett defenders who was around that tackle. They actually take took him out of bounds. Actually, that was a loss of one is what it was. [Applause] So, here we go. Third and eight. Moody looking for someone to throw to. Tries to find the sideline. Finds the receiver who catches it and brought down. That was Samuel Durl on the reception. Senior for the Mustangs. >> Dur. That's good for a Mustangs first down. >> Yeah, that's a big play for Memphis cuz they're looking at a three and out after an interception. And Ever with all the momentum. Uh take a look. Good check. a little wobbly on the pass. But I'll
037tell you one thing, anem the Medford receivers have been open. That is and that's going to be the end of the quarter. But Medford has had receivers open, including on the interception. That interception was underthrown. The ball was just thrown up in the air, but they had a receiver open. So that will need to be tightened up. But after one here at Everett Memorial Stadium on the new John Diaso Jr. Field, we have the Crimson Tide ahead 14 to nothing. While we have this break, Paul, why don't we break down the numbers forever from in the 21st century as we head as this kickoff >> kicks can't keep saying kickoff all the time, but it feels like the proper verbiage to use. But as of today's game kicks off the 132nd season. >> Yeah. Well,
038Everett has been very very good in since the turn of the c since the 21st century. 2001 through 24, 226 wins, 35 losses, a winning percentage of 866. And if you want their overall record in 131 seasons of playing football, 850, 387, and 79. >> Paul, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Everett is the second most winningest football program in the state of Massachusetts, falling behind Brockton. >> I believe you are correct. And also on the same score line, John Debaldo the second most winning as head coach also following behind Brockton in that category. >> and still counting. He is now coaching at Cass Memorial. >> Here's Meford with the motion. Bosch handoff, but Meford hops on top of it keeping possession. but will lose just about a yard. Second and 11. >>
039What a nice breeze coming in here. You're not probably getting it as much because you're behind the glass, but it's okay. I'll take what I can get. >> It's a very it's it's a perfect night to watch football. It's probably still a tad warm to play uh as it's in the high 70s, but there is a breeze and for the fans, it just could not be any better. Second and 11 from the 35 as Medford will try to keep this drive alive. They had a big pass reception on the last play of the first quarter. [Applause] >> Here's Mer taking the snap. Tosses it to Guerrbe. He's trying to find the outside behind his big blocker number zero. Does find the corner. Ke the first down and and then some brought down by Barreros. >>
040We got extracurricular now. Zero on Medford. >> Demi Georgees threw the absolute key block. He may have picked up an unnecessary roughness here after the play. >> Awaiting the call from the referee. >> But that was a good run by Martins >> and it is in fact a holding on Metro. Maybe the block. Maybe that's why it was such a key block. >> Here we're going to get a replay. You'll see Jeremy clearly in the frame >> right there. He is holding Everett's number 11 Dro. Giovani Deose and he got caught. >> Huge play went going backwards now forcing a second and 21. [Applause] And that's going to be a timeout on Medford. So he they're going to give him three yards on the run, which gets him to the 38 and then a 10
041yard holding penalty, which knocks it back to the 28 for a net of minus 7. So this should be in the area of second and 18 from the 28 yd line. Just a minute and a half into this second quarter. The Medford trainer came out to the field and taking a Medford player with her to the sidelines. That was Guerme Martins who walked off the field. He's a key guy. Now here comes Travis Moody back running the offense facing a second and 21 situation. Ball snap is going to be toss play to number 18 Ronald David and gets brought down hard by Everett. Ronald David is coming in for Guimma Martins. The beauty of having these games on live anem is the great Freddy Merchant who is the statistician just texted me to say ever
042has more wins than Brockton and coach Dviaso more wins than famous Brockton coach Aman Colbo. So there so that means recently we might have just taken that spot that number one spot. >> Huge shout out to the statician for sending you that fun fact. [Music] So now here comes the Mustangs once again facing third and 21 from their own side of the field. Two wide on each side of the formation. Here's Travers looking to his right side finds number four Samuel Deril on the comeback route gains a good amount of yard but not enough for the first down. knock out. >> And at this point, Paul, would you go for the punt or try to go for it? I >> I think down 14 nothing. I'm going. It's fourth and it's a reasonable distance. Fourth
043and five. >> Meford did pick up a huge game one on that pass, but also the play that was called back on a holding call. So, Memphis is very well capable of big guard plays, especially when needed. So, here they come out in the shotgun 2 by two. Look, Travers taking the snap, looking right on the short route was Sam. >> Yeah, forward progress. Good throw. Good catch. Good route. He went right to the sticks. >> Boy, that's a really good route and a good throw by the quarterback Booty. And a really good catch by Dristo. So, you're going to see him elevate for this ball. They tackled him right away, but forward progress gets him to five yards. Jamari Doulin with coverage and the tackle. >> Mustangs at their own 46 yd line. >>
044Here's Travis Moody and the rest of the offense at the 46 yd line. First and 10. >> Takes a snap, tosses it to Guier back in the game. Tries to find a hole but quickly closed off by number eight >> Sam Lome. And then Jonathan goes >> on the stop number eight. >> And join along. >> There's another loss. >> Second and 14 for the Mustangs. Here we see a replay of the defensive line. See good penetration. Good force by Jonathan Barreros to put the running back on the inside where number eight and number four were waiting for Guier Martins. Jonathan goes and Sam Lome. Good job too there by Barreros taking on a blocker to get him out of the play. Two seniors making the tackle has met with the motion right looking right
045screen play to Samuel Deril tries to find an opening but couldn't back couldn't make it back to the original markers complete >> for Samuel Derel >> actually might have made it directly at the sticks >> third and 10 >> Joseph on up. >> There's a replay again. You know, they are completing passes, but Ever with good pursuit and really not much to do. Not much yardage after the catch. [Applause] >> Travis Moody back in the shotgun position. Third and 10. Called for the snap once again. looking right for Samuel Deril on the short route. Couldn't make the connection. >> That was a route that got them two gains on this on this drive alone. But now we got fourth and 10. Jabari Julian was in the coverage. >> Yeah, they went on fourth and five.
046I think they're going to probably Looks like they're going to kick it on fourth and 10. [Music] [Applause] Jamari Doulan a junior on the ever squad and Medford does look like they're lining up for the punt. Back to receive we have John Barreros and Jamari Dulan. Punting for Meford is Guier Martins >> and it will not be fielded. It will roll out of bounds. at the 28 yd line. >> So now we get to see a third offensive possession for the Ever Crimson Tide. 27 yds on the punt will take over. First down and 10 at their own 27 yd line. >> You see coach Daredo there. It's got to be pleased thus far. >> We also have a great turnout here at Ever Ver Memorial Stadium by students, fans, and parents alike for this
047opening season matchup. >> Well, I'll tell you, as I said, it's if you're looking to get outside, what a just a perfect perfect night. Here's Tyler Freddy with the motion to Jabari Doulan. fake handoff, keeps it, goes the other way, finds a lane, runs past the linebacker, tries to get past Samuel. There is still gets wrapped up, but still going. Huge gain on the play on that quarterback heap. >> Takes the ball all the way to the red zone. We have a running quarterback on our hands here, folks. What a hell of a run by Freddy all the way down to the 18. Take a look. big seam picks up a nice block on the outside there by Joseph. Let's give the blockers credit. And I'll tell you what, now he just becomes a fullback.
048He does not want to go down. Completely outran Dylan Geianino who is a freshman for Medford. 55 yds on the jaunt. Now Freddy picks it out outside, tries to find a block, but does pick up a good gain. That was Jamaria Julian on the receiving on a quick slot screen. >> Nyd. [Applause] >> No, it's 11. He got a first down. Got to the seven. Yep. Referee made the connect correction. It is now first and goal. ball makes it to Jamari Dulan who refuses to go down and finally he does after a loss on the play. >> Everest uh considering anem how well they're moving the ball they really kind of >> struggled inside the red zone. Uh >> this is the second series. You know Freddy got them out of it last time with
049the good run but that was from the seven and I think he is going to lose a yard. It will still be third and goal. >> No, it's second down. It's second down. It was first and goal. >> Second and goal. [Applause] >> Once again, another soft screen, but couldn't complete the pass. Pass a little bit behind. Jamari Dulan couldn't reload it in with one hand. Yeah, I think that was a combination of the pass, as you said, being a little behind him and him trying to maybe run before he had the ball. >> So, now we're in third down and uh goal from the eight. So, it's third and long. >> Is it from the eight or is it from the 14? Nope, it is. I think you might be right. >> No, it
050is the 14. You're right. I'm sure. >> Oh, it is a 14. So many lines. >> Another screen play this time to number six Jeremiah Joseph. And good pursuit by the Mefford defense. >> Complete to number six Jeremiah >> on the tackle is none other than Demi George's for Meford making all the big red zone stops. >> We're going to get a replay here. >> Passing through Jeremiah. If you go back and watch this film, there was balls being spotted incorrectly. >> That was Quesan Lewis Jean on the initial tackle supported by Demi Georgees. >> Fourth and goal for the Ever Crimson Tide. We got a new quarterback taking the snap, Jeremiah Clark Jr. >> and it'll be timeout on Medford. So interesting quarterback switch here in fourth and goal inside the red zone. Paul,
051>> looks like Jeremiah Clark did take the snap instead of Tyler Freddy, a fellow junior. >> He he played a lot last year. I'll go check his stats right now. Uh he was 10 for 20 passing, 171 yards, three touchdowns, one interception. Uh he ran the ball 13 times for 14 yards. So he he did play later in the season. >> Here's a look at the big yard playing by Freddy that got them into the red zone. Here we consider a dual threat quarterback Paul. Is that the proper term we could apply? >> Yeah, I think so. >> Good speed, good awareness, and he's been completing a lot of good passes, too, including that one from earlier to Jamari Doulan in that second possession. >> So, here's Everett coming out onto the field. That's Jeremiah
052Clark now under center with John Barreros in the back field. It's going to be a play action. Jonathan Clark looking to his left, finds an open man and the ball is dropped >> by Armani Negron the tight end. >> Pass is incomplete. >> Medford will take over on downs. >> Well, that's too bad. >> Here we get a replay on the play action. Good job on the play action. clock is going to get out to the left and this is a touchdown. Oh, Armani is going to have a nightmare tonight. >> 11. >> So now Medford is taking over from their own red zone inside the 10. Ball spotted at the between the eight and the nine. >> Might be just the nine. >> Their own. >> Yeah, that's really you know the three touchdowns
053different story than two. hand off straight up the middle into the Everett defense. >> Jonathan goes again. You take a look at him. He is a big fella and he is having a game >> down in the pit. Here we got a replay of that hand off to the middle. >> That was Demi Georgees with handling the ball on that play. So, second and nine, ball around the 10, between the 10 and 11 yd line. >> Here goes Moody with the snap. And it's going to be handled to Guierme up the middle into the waiting arms of John Barreras. Another good gain by Medford. >> Now for a third and short also in the stop. >> We're inside the 4minute mark of the first half. Paul. >> Yeah. Well, this should be a good stop
054uh for Ever here, you know, because if you can prevent the first down here, you're looking at good field position. And you know, Medford has the win, but still you got to be looking at good field position. So, this is a big play. >> Two receivers out wide for Medford. Rooty taking the ball from the shotgun formation. >> Here's a snap and it's going to be a handoff to Martins and gets brought down. >> He's got the first down though. >> Looks like that Tyler Freddy with the initial hit. Martin's the ball carrier >> supported by Sam Lome >> Tyler >> and he does in fact pick up the first down >> that's good for Mustang >> and also on the tackle Jeremiah Joseph >> number six junior wide receiver and defensive back waiting the
055snap. Quarterback Memphis looks like they're going to kill the clock and see if they could uh end the half in their possession. >> Here's a toss to Martins. Outside was caught off real quick and then brought down by John Barreros with the wrap up. But a lot of the defensive disruption credited to the defensive line up front for Ever Crimson Tide. >> I think Ever takes a timeout here. >> Exactly at the twominute mark. [Applause] >> That was good for good penetration and a good tackle by Guerrero. There's Tyler Freddy, the quarterback, who forced the uh the runner to go into the waiting arms of John Barero. >> This is a a good use of timeout here, by the way, cuz Medford is second and long. Obviously, you want to get to a situation where
056you force them to punt from deep in their territory and you you you know, you have a shot at a runback or really good field position to take a few cracks at the end zone. So, this is a at second and long and I'm sure they'll call it again. Uh, that's a good use of timeout. >> And correct me if I'm wrong, but is that the first time out of the half or their first? I know Medford has taken on. I think it's Ever's first. >> So, two timeouts left. We're at the two-minute mark and it's second and long. Second and 14 for the Mustangs. who could either be running out the clock or trying to score on the final possession. [Music] >> Well, they don't want ever to get it back and they be
057you can be sure of that. >> We've seen the speed that ever could have on offense. [Applause] >> Here's a hand up to Martins up the middle. Finds a decent hole to gain several yards. on the carry. >> Yeah, but still ever with another timeout, which is a good call. >> And once again, that's John Barberos on the tackle. [Applause] >> Yeah, I see Sam Lome coming off the field there. This week it was also the first full week of school. I don't know how it is down in Never public schools, but a lot of school districts did have a 3-day week last week. >> Yeah, we're back in the swing of things here. >> For us, it's the first for me personally, it would be the first official Friday, first school Friday. >> So,
058this is a big play. Uh, an incomplete pass would be a really big play because then you don't have to take a timeout, but otherwise Ever used timeouts in the last two plays. I mean, mission one is prevent a first down because if they get a first down, then they could just run it out and mission accomplished for them. So, here here you want to stop ideally with the clock stopped, but I believe they still have one timeout to give themselves some room to operate on offense. Two receivers out on the field for Medford, but that ball is kept by Moody who finds the outside and gets pushed out of bounds for the first down. Chased on by Jeremiah Joseph. >> I'll tell you, Neim, he faked me out. I was about to talk about
059what a great tackle that was by Guerrero. And it was a good tackle. Unfortunately, the player didn't have the ball. >> What a good fake and a good run by Moody. Take a look at this fake. He took it right out of the gut of Martins. Good block by I got to remember this more better. Bron David out on the outside gave Travis Moody the entire side of the field to ultimately brought down a different now. Coach Curley might not be in such a hurry to get in the locker room cuz >> because ironically because of those ever timeouts, he's got the minute 42 and they're out near midfield. So, >> and they have two of their timeouts. >> Yeah, that changed everything. And that was a really really wellexecuted fake by the quarterback Moody
060>> Ronald David and Samuel Deril on the receiving parts and it will be a pass looking for Samuel Dil that's Jeremiah Jose for his second interception of the game. [Applause] So in the end ultimately Ever gets the ball back in the two within the two-minute mark. of the [Applause] first time. >> And that was coverage on Samuel Dil. >> Yeah, but you know, as well as he's played, uh, Anem, this is a bad another bad pass. That ball is in the air way too long. Okay. It is just cuz even if someone is open, which as we saw on the last interception, when the ball's in the air that long, you're just giving the defenders too much time to recover. Ever has always got fast defenders. That's just a poy thrown pass. But a nice
061play by Joseph. >> And here's Clark for the two-minute drill for Everett. Gets a sack in the play. But with no timeouts, you're going to have to go back to the huddle real quick. Number 65, Franco Sappova. >> And that's exactly what they do. No huddle ever gets a call. Goes back on offense. >> Well, it's going to have to go up in the air at some point. >> Jeremiah Clark taking the shotgun snap, looking left, looking down the middle. Two receivers in the area along with two Metford defenders in the same area. >> Clark's pass. ball finds its way into the hands of number >> 35 of Metford. >> You know, name I >> unable to make the pattern. It seemed like the pattern had multiple receivers within a few yards of each other,
062which obviously is going to attract multiple defenders. Take a look. There's three ever receivers, and there's actually a fourth not far away, but three within five yards of each other. That's just going to attract those defenders. And number 35 doesn't have an official name on the menford roster that was given to us. Here's a sweep play, but it's actually a quarterback keep by Freddy. Tries to take it to the outside and gains about five yards, I believe. >> He's he's a tough runner. He is a tough runner, especially for a quarterback. >> He does play the linebacker position after all as well. >> So, ever will now face fourth and four. The clock is running, but I I I don't think that's a major problem because obviously if you don't make this uh Oh, no.
063Looks like they're going to punt it. So, forget forget all about it. >> The clock continues to run. We're at 25 seconds. And we'll see if the punt can get get off. >> The question is if Medford has timeouts, why wouldn't they be taking them with ever in punt formation? Gar Martins the deepest and also flanking on the other side of the field is number 35 the our unnamed Medford Mustang. >> That could be an intentional delay of game just to see what they >> cuz you remember if they could have gotten them to jump it would be a first down [Applause] >> delay of game against ever. So now the game the clock stops at the 5second mark. >> Crimson Tide will take a timeout. >> And if you Crimson Tide had one timeout
064in his in his bank. >> Yeah. >> If with ever in punt formation, I don't know why Medford wouldn't have taken one of their two. But in any event, Everett is back to just inside their own 45. Uh the time is 5 seconds, so they would be perfectly fine. I would not go in putt formation here. Too many bad things can happen. >> Yeah. All you got to do is just run a play wide. It's going to take 5 seconds. >> Yeah, you're right. I guess >> take a jog in the other direction. Let the effort players catch you. Just run on 5 seconds and they go into the locker room. >> That's all you just got to 5 seconds. And and Freddy uh in the shotgun, which makes sense. Yeah, he could just run
065the other day the other other way and just go down >> or air it out to protect the stats, but we'll see. Here's a snap. And you know what? He's going to air it out. Up high, down deep, looking for Jamari Doulan. Makes the connection. >> Jamari Dulan. >> And that's how the first half is going to end. >> Everett with the 14-0 lead on Medford scoring on their first two possessions. Medford with a couple good plays. Actually, there's a lot lot of good plays, >> but Everick defense held tall and strong, keeping them at zero. >> Paul, any final thoughts before we close out this first half and take the half. >> I think it's, you know, all in all, you know, stuff to work on, but certainly plenty to work with. Uh, I
066think it's encouraging how the You see the nice catch there uh >> by Dulan by Dulan. You know, I think it's encouraging that the defense uh stiffened when it had to. >> So for each of TV15, we'll be taking a quick break here at the booth. I'm joined by Paul Hollerin. Catch you in the second half. [Music] [Applause] [Music] All right. Hey [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Yeah. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Hey, [Music] hey, hey. [Music] Yeah. [Music] Perfect. [Music] And we are back here on the broadcast for some second half action between the M Medford Mustangs and the Ever Crimson Tide. >> If that's okay, >> I'm joined by Paul Hollerin. Ever currently has a 14-0 lead. Paul, can you give us a quick rundown of the stats from the first half? >> Yeah, so
067anem Everett, uh, as you would expect, it looks good on paper as well as it did on the field. Uh, Everett had 154 yards rushing. They had 70 yards passing for 224 yards of offense. Uh, Medford only 36 yds on the ground. They did have 81 through the air. They threw the ball effectively, mainly due to a few big plays, minus one on a fumble. Medford 116 yds. Individually for Everett, uh the story is the quarterback, Tyler Fernie, 84 yds rushing and a touchdown, 70 yards passing, so 154 yards overall. >> Paul, it's Friday night. The sun is setting. The moon is out full and bright as we saw earlier on the camera. looking beautiful. Nice breeze to the air and a great day for an opening season game. >> I should also mention and
068name John Barreros had that big long touchdown run. He finished with three carries for 64 yards and the other touchdown. So, good effort and as we talked going into the half as we're waiting for the Crimson Tide to come out here, uh good job by the defense. You know, Medford had a few big plays. They moved the ball a little bit, but the defense was good when it had to be. And as a result, it's 14- nothing. You could argue though, it should be a little uh they should have another score. Of course, they had the unfortunate drop of the touchdown pass. But all in all, >> game one, new staff as we talked about, new field, new everything. pretty good job so far. >> Ritz new or a new knew everything but also a
069blast from the past in the name of Robert Dera who was the first one out in the field ahead of the rest of the ever high players. >> Yeah, I think he's probably uh breathing a little deeper, you know, not you don't need as many deep breaths to start the half. Uh we have a cameraman looking for attention back down there. Pike, your homeboy, >> Tony Lelaw on camera, >> graduated last year from Ever High School. >> All right. I love it. >> So, the tied out back on the field as we said >> and uh >> and they will be receiving in the second half. >> We got Yeah, they did win the toss and deferred which is the popular thing to do these days. >> Another another camera crew on camera right now.
070That's Alice O'Donnell. He wrote my college recommendation letter when I was a senior in high school. >> Wow. Apparently, he did well. >> And currently a video production teacher at Ever High School. >> Another returning senior who graduated last year, Evan Huard running the wingside camera. Hi Evan. From here at the booth. >> And Meford is taking the field and so is Everett. Back to receive Jamari Doulan Jr. and on the other side would be >> John Barreros. >> Thank you all. We're leaving. We got a game to watch. >> Well, kicking off for Medford, I think this is the first time we get to see a Medford kicker. It would be number 50, Ryan Lombardi. >> This would be a good opportunity you need to get a score up on the board. As I
071said, you know that >> correct >> 66 three scores just seems like a much bigger deal than two. >> Jamari. >> Here's a kickoff. Is going to be short to the mid man. Bustes off his face mask and then cradled by number 11 Armani Negron. You know the the it's almost like the ever kick return should be sponsored by the US Army. It's always an adventure. >> Fortunately, uh, no harm done there. Here we get a replay. That was number 25. >> 268, >> Steve Thomas Jr., correction, Steven Thomas Jr. >> But the Ever Crimson Tide, guess who take over at the 27 yd line. First and 10. Freddy in the back hands it off to Bareros who muscles his way through the Medford defense to pick up the first down. John Barreros on the
072carry. >> Baros. >> Yeah, Evan has some strong runners starting with the quarterback. We talked about Tyler Freddy, but Bareros is another one. But not only strong, but with breakaway speed, which is a good combination. give him 12 there and he worked hard for the 12. >> Miros is also a two-way player. He plays defensive back whereas his counterart Freddy quarterback playing quarterback, excuse me, linebacker as well. Come on. >> Ever setting two receivers to the left. Split back formation flanked by number Steven Thomas >> who will receive the hand off and >> runs into a wall. >> First carry for Steven. No gain. >> No gain on the play. Second down. I think we're getting to see a lot of different formations of the Crimson Tide in this one game as Crimson Tide with
073a motion to Jamari Dulan who finds the outside breakaway speed down the sideline. Can Gur Mortis get the angle? No. And he's in for the touchdown. [Applause] >> Jamari Dulan. >> Boy, breakaway speed is right. Anem, you hit that nail right on the head. Watch the acceleration when it looks a defender. Clearly had the angle on him. Watch the acceleration down the sideline by Jamari Dulan. This is a really, really explosive run that it's going to come back. Oh boy. Oh, we see the flag on the play down near the 40 yd line and it's going to be a holding on average. [Applause] >> Nonetheless, here we got a replay. >> Yeah, that's certainly >> it's right there. You could see the Yeah, that I'll tell you on on on a to-do list by coach
074D Lorettto cleaning up the penalties is is high and I'm sure he's aware of it. And you just can't have runs like that go for not. Referees are really on top of their game with these holding calls. >> Yeah, you could see the uh the Medford players shirt that pulled away. So give him a two yard run after all that and it's going to be second and 18 from the 32. Same formation as the last play. We got a motion from Jamari Doulan and it is going to be a quarterback keep up the middle by Tyler Freddy. Makes his way back to the sticks >> for the ball >> eight yardd gain I believe. Yeah, he got back to the original line of scrimmage. Yes, >> Dylan Janito on the >> and that's exactly what
075he made it to. >> This is going to be third and 10. >> The the third touchdown has been >> just missed twice. A dropped pass in the end zone and a penalty there. You know, you you know, look, Medford is clearly a little overmatched here, but you know, you just don't want to let him stick around into the fourth quarter. And when you deliver a knockout punch like that, it's got to stick. Another quarterback keep up the middle. That's a Tyler Freddy. Find the first down. Found a lane and brought down by number 18 of Meford, Ronald David. Huge gain on the play >> by Tyler Freddy, [Music] >> junior quarterback for the Crimson Tide. Yeah, he really looks like a good runner. He had he had 84 yards. That's going to put him
076over a 100 yards uh on the game. 106. You'll see him keep fake the hand off and right up the middle. Good blocking, plenty of room. Down to the 38. The Tide are on the march. Everett running three of the same plays in a row. different outcomes as this one would result in a fumble but picked up by Freddy and brought down by number 40 of Medford. Dylan Gianino, >> one of several freshman on this Medford varsity team. >> Fortunate to have only a two-y loss there. Freddy did a good job making something out of nothing. [Applause] How do you feel about the tactic of just running the same play over and over again? >> Well, until they stop and stop it and getting positive results. >> Until they stop it. >> But that's the
077beauty about the option run. There always pos multiple options coming off the same formation. >> That's a bad throw. >> This one will result a pass to the ground for an incomplete pass. Third on long for the Crimson Tide. Yeah, the thing is anem you run it enough and you know they they are going to start to focus on it and it's going to open up other stuff. You know, I like having the run pass option with Freddy because he's proven he can do both very well >> and Ever showing off a lot of speed in this season debut game >> from the wide receivers, the quarterback, running back, a lot of speed all around. [Applause] two receivers to the top of the screen. It's going to be a drop back pass for Tyler Freddy
078looking down deep. And that's Jamari Dueling on the catch for a huge gain and a first down. >> Talk about dual threats. Oh boy, another penalty. Holy Toledo. >> But what a connection Tyler Freddy is having with Jamari Duelan in this game. Yeah, but this stuff has to stop. You just can't be giving up taking big plays like that off the board. >> Here's a replay. >> Might be holding on one of the offensive lineman, but the ball was dropped in a bucket for Jamari Doulan. >> So now it'll be third and 22 from the 50. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] The receivers flip sides of the field. Tyler Freddy for the snap looking for the short pass. Dub off to John Barreros and only gets a short gain. Gangtang tankled by the Mustangs >> with George
079>> with Demi Georgees and Kaisan Lewis Jean >> on the tackle. >> Yeah. Fourth and 17. I think he had a kick this Freddy storing the ball. It looked like he shot armed it the last two times. They've both been low. The one to Dulan was too low to even catch. But Barrerero, you'll see, has to go down and get that a little bit and a little behind him as well. He picks up uh five, but fourth and 17 is going to be a punting situation. >> And here comes a good punt line. Lands within the end zone. Rolls right at the goal line. >> He might have gone in. >> Excellent punt by number one. >> Fielded at the oneyd line >> by number 11 Armani Negron. Wow. He almost let it roll too
080long there. >> Looked like when he landed with the ball, he was on the goal line. >> First down. >> Replay of the punt right here. >> Yeah, this is Negron right ahead of the ball. >> Yeah, he did have possession of the ball, but when he landed it looked like he was on the goal line, but they're spotting it at the one, which is great. This one doesn't work. >> So now Medford in a tough offensive situation. They're going to line up under center for the first time. >> Might be a quarterback sneak. And yes, it is. Try to get some breathing room, but that defensive line for Everett stands big and tall. Jonathan goes >> to be credited for the tackle. >> Really had a good game for defense. Moody, >> the ball
081carrier. He's wrapped up by number four. >> Looks to be a one and a half yard gain >> by Moody. >> It'll be second and eight. >> Maybe second and nine. >> Give him a yard. >> You go. So, they're right back in the shotgun. >> Here's a hand off to Martins up the middle. Might have gained a yard or two, maybe a few brought down by >> a group of linebackers by the Crimson Tide. >> Quarterback linebacker on the tackle. Freddy, you get in a real good position if you hold them here and they're punting from really would be close to the back of their end zone. [Applause] >> I know. I'll do my best. I mean, at least I have the [Applause] >> lining up on the shotgun once again. Wide receiver to
082each side of the field. Here's Moody taking the snap, looking for a pass down in the sled. Broken up by number 12 up in there and intercepted by number eight Sam the senior. >> Correction. That's number 11, Armani Negron. >> 11. >> Nice job, Armani. And he didn't drop that one. He was in the right place at the right time as that pass was deflected in the air. And that was a gift pass. You'll take a look at you watch. Good defensive play here though. Let's give credit to what's due to Joseph Kurins and then Armani is going to take it at about the seven and bring it down inside the five >> and a Medford player seems to be shaking up >> on that play. So, we're taking a quick referee timeout. >> So,
083Ever will take over at the two. So, that's a really good play. Joseph, >> pardon me, Kervin's Joseph really closed on that ball. Got his handed there for a deflection and you know when it's up in the air at that part of the field, >> you got to just kind of smell have a smell for the ball. And great job by Armani Negron and picking it up and bringing it down to the two. >> And now Everett with a chance to bring up the score by three possessions. Tyler Franny in the shotgun. >> Two two running backs to the side. Hands it off to Jamari Dulan trying to find the outside and quickly sealed off by number 18 >> Ronald David. >> Yeah, again Demi Georgees. >> They're just running it so well in but
084they're struggling to run it in the red zone. Well, deep in the red zone. You know, I'm talking inside the five. >> Someone say no through z a no through zone for the metro Mustangs. >> Second and goal from the three. They lost the yard. >> Maybe I like to call it the new no lane. >> Tyler Freddy is going to look to take it himself. Finds the hole and walks in for the third score of the game. Number nine, Tyler Freddy. >> Junior quarterback number nine, Tyler Freddy. And and never player is shaking up on that touchdown play. Got right back up though. Hope he's all right. >> Uh so here we get a replay of that score. Here's Freddy and nothing fancy. Just what he's been doing all night. That time he's had
085his most success running right up the middle and more of it there. And I think every Are they going to go for two? No. Nope. They're not. >> Whatever they're doing, it's taking them a long time to do it. They're looking for a lineman to snap the ball. That's important on a pat. Tyler Freddy to receive the snap. And John Barios on kicking duty. Here's a kick. Almost blocked, but the ball makes his way through the goal post. >> Good attempt on the extra point. Score is now 21. >> Ever leading with 446 left in the third quarter. >> Squandering a few opportunities due to, you know, a drop and and a couple of key penalties. Everett does take advantage of a turnover. >> Interception by Armani Negron. returns at five yds to the two
086and then two plays later, Tyler Freddy, you'll see him right here, cut it right up the gut, gets in the end zone. That's his second touchdown of the game. He is over 100 yardds and Everett is now in just about complete command at 21. Great play calling on that possession, taking full advantage of the formations. There's on kickoff. Balls up and deep. Probably won't make his way to the end zone. Gets fueled by Martins. Looking for a lane on the left side. Finds a blocker. Finds a sideline. Tries to cut it back in. Still going. And finally brought down. Not finally. Still going. Way past midfield and not brought down at the Everett 43 yd line. Well, I would tell you >> Gilme Martins came to play tonight for Medford and it is showing up.
087This is a hell of a return and about 10 yards after being initially hit. Took over at the 16 and returned it to the is it the ever 40 yardd line? >> 42 yd line. And there's going to be a flag I believe on Everett. So, the play goes even further into Crimson Tide territory. Here's a replay of Tyler Frame sidelining the side roping the sidelines and then just dragging tacklers with him. reporting Martins to gain those extra 10 yards. >> 27 yd. >> So Medford all of a sudden takes over with the penalty at the ever 27 yd line. That's a 15yd penalty. >> I think it was a face mask personal foul. >> And now we get another flag. Let's see who was this committed by. >> Well, ever >> off sides first
088and five for the Mustangs. [Applause] We have 4 minutes and 30 seconds left in the third quarter. Medford threatening to score as they near the red zone. First and five from the 22 yd line. Moody taking the snap after the motion. Hand it off the up the middle. Good gain for a first down by Medford. >> That was Georgees. >> Yep, that was David Georgees. Demi Georgees. [Music] might have gotten the jersey number incorrect on that final play, but nonetheless, good run by Medford for a first and 10 in the red zone. My vision is a little bit obscure, so I do apologize if I do get the names incorrect here. The Bosch snap. Moody recovered and tackled for a huge loss on the play. >> John Baros. >> John Barberos on the tackle. [Applause]
089[Music] So second and long from the 21 yd line. [Applause] >> Second and 17. [Applause] >> So Medford not standing prosperity either. down to the 15 and B snap sixyd loss. Second and 16 at the 21 yd line. Shotgun formation. Two receivers to each side. Moody looking right and they're going to go out of bounds. He was looking for Samuel Destl [Music] and coverage was Kervin Joseph. [Music] So now it's third and 17 at the 21 yd line for the Mustangs >> as they do go into a huddle. Moody receiving the call from the coach on the far side of the field. Now obviously Ben has any dreams of making a comeback. This is a must must score possession down at this part of the field. One thing about this Medford varsity team that there's
090a good split between upper classman and underassman that make up the varsity team. Here they are in shotgun formation. Three receivers to the top. Here's a snap. Moody looking right to the sole receiver looking for Samuel de stills. And once again, Curtis Joseph >> Joseph on the coverage >> on the coverage. >> He kind of was open. That ball was just kind of he let him a little too much. He I if we see this, he had some separation there on that looked like a post route that was intended as you said for Distill did have a little bit of 5 yd separation, >> but they are going to go for it on fourth to 17 from the 21 yd line. Same formation as before. Three receivers to the top, sole receiver to the bottom.
091Soul receiver being Samuel Der still played up close and covered. Moody looking his way. Couldn't find him. Tries to escape the pocket. Heaves it open into the end zone and intercepted by none other than Janelle Jabari Douly who takes it out from the end zone and brought down at the 11 yd line. There is a penalty on the play. Well, Moody did a good job keeping the play alive. Uh he he didn't run for it because he he needed 16 yards. Otherwise, he he did have some room to run. So, he made sure to stay behind the line of scrimmage. I think everyone was playing tight man coverage. So, a lot of those receivers were definitely smothered up downfield. sometimes leaves a dangerous situation because if Moody decided to run, he did have a lot
092of room if he decided to >> and it's going to hurt the Crimson Tide. What could have been a tie possession just extends Medford's hope of scoring before the end of the third quarter. Here the replay of the pocket collapsing. Moody rolling to his left, keeps it up and eventually intercepted. Fourth down. >> It's going to be fourth and six from about the 10, >> I think. [Applause] The 11. [Applause] Five penalties for 50 yards on Everett in this quarter. >> Here's Medford with a two by two look. Shot formation. Moody's looking left for a pass through the corner right over the head of number 25 Roshan Belly. The score goes to Ronald David. [Applause] And Paul Ronald David is a freshman on the Medford squad. But he's having quite the game today against >>
093That's just a defensive breakdown. The defender, I believe, never looked back for the ball. You take a look at it. >> You see, no, no, I shouldn't say that. He just let the receiver get behind him. So, that was not good coverage by Everett. And Medford now is got themselves on the board and thinking they have a shot. I'm going to say that was good footwork by Ronald David. By Roshan trying to undercut the pass, but Ronald David gave himself enough room to backpedal and get open. >> Kick is up and good. Now Meford is up in the score seven by number 56. >> He's up on the board. trailing 721 >> really, you know, you got them fourth and 16 from the 21. You got an interception that gets wiped out by a holding.
094I mean, they they really have to clean this up. And, you know, and need to be given an opportunity. This is game one, but five penalties for 50 yards in one quarter is just not going to work. And coach Diorto and his staff, they know that better than anyone. The the thing is, you know, there's different type of howlings, obviously. Commission, omission. Yes, the moon looks pretty full tonight. Bright and beautiful under the stadium lights of the newly renovated John Debazo Field at Ever Veterans Memorial Stadium. >> And to your point about the penalties, they also came at the most critical moments, >> wiping out the biggest plays that we've seen. on both sides of the ball, right? >> They wiped out two big plays on offense and and a big play on defense. >>
095Now, here's a short kick by Medford. Makes his way to John Barreros who's trying to go up the middle. Finds quite a lane. Touchreen down. Shakes off a lot of tacklers. Makes his way to midfield until he's finally wrapped up by the Mustangs. >> Makes his way to the Ever 47. Kevin. >> Really good run by Bareros here. And as he's shown again, you know, once he gets hit, he's good for another 10. You see him following blocking, good blocking. Now he's hit for the first time at about the 40, his own 46, and he ends up at the Medford 47. So that's about 78 yards from the time he was first hit. So good job by Barreros. Ever first and 10 trying to deliver a knockout punch. >> And that was a good chase
096on tackle by freshman Dylan Gonino of Medford who's trying to play the ball. But here's Everett with the sweep. Actually, it's a keep. And Medford read that just well. Freddy might have fumbled it on that play. Judging by the Medford reaction, but let's see. Was he down by contact? Was he already is forward progress stopped or no? The rest are discussing and it's going to be ever possession forward possession prog excuse me forward progress ever keeps keep the ball here we get a replay number 70 on the backfield for Medford Caesar Jaden Caesar that's a fumble they got lucky there he's still trying to hit yardage and he's wrapped up and that ball came out way before he hit the ground. They got very lucky there. That was a fumble. [Applause] And once again, Jaden
097Caesar's senior for the Medford Mustangs disrupting that entire play. Here's Freddy on the counter to John Barreros. John Morris runs into a wall of Medford defenders and play is blown dead >> after a one-yd gain by Barreros. Number 11, Kyson Lou Jean on the tackle. >> Kyson Louis Gene on the tackle for the Metro Mustangs. [Applause] >> I must say, Paul, in my lifetime, this is the strongest and biggest Medford team I've seen. >> Yeah, they're they're spunky. As I said earlier, they've had some good skill uh people over the last few years. Uh they seem to be doing a better job holding their own up front, though. to your point. >> Here's Freddy receiving the play. Tries to dump it off for a wide receiver screen to >> Dulan. That's going to be a
098run. Very slippery. >> As he turns something out of nothing. Going to be close to a first down. He's not going to have it, but it will set up fourth and short. I'm already doing it. [Applause] >> That'll be third and short for the Ever Crimson Tide. >> Fourth down and two. >> See, I like to call those kind of plays a pop screen. A quick throw out to the receiver. >> A run. Didn't What? Didn't he throw backwards? >> It looked like a backwards pass. >> He was a backwards pass. So, we'll give Doulin a run on that play. He's having a big game. But he slipped the first two initial tackles and then finally gang tackled just short of the sticks. So good individual effort by Jamari Dulan. Here's another play. Hand off
099to Jamari Dulan. Falls his blockers. Find the hole and breakaway speed almost but brought down by Ronald David of Medford. >> Brought down from behind. looked like he had a chance to escape, but I think that tackle might have resulted in a slight injury. >> I mean, he got caught from behind because he had to break that last tackle, right? Very good. >> Very good run. You take a look at the >> goodsized crowd here on the home side. >> Here's Dulan block the right side. >> Sheds a block there. And that's why he got caught from behind just in in shedding that tackle there. He just got slowed up a little bit, but good run. He's going to get down to the 17, I believe. >> So, we do have a referee timeout. [Applause]
100But while we had this time out, Paul want to go back to one of our big talking points and that's a renaming of this field. John Diaz the field that was unveiled just this last summer. >> John Debia in his career at West Ever High School 252 33 and zero. I got a pop quiz for you Paul. Are you ready for it? >> Sure. Out of the 33 losses in John Debia's career with Ever High School, how many of them came at the hands of a Catholic school? >> Freddy Merchants probably running for his records now. 13. John Diaso was 38 and 13 against the Catholic Conference. Uh that does not include Central Catholic in the Marramac Valley, but he was 38 and 13. >> Will have a big game against the Catholic Conference foe
101here in a few weeks. I mean when BC High comes to town. >> Correct. And they're traveling to Zavarian Brothers on September 19th for an away game. >> Yeah, I think those two are back to back if I'm not mistaken. Right. >> That is correct. >> Yeah, those are two. >> Well, you know, those are games you want to play, you have to play under this system. Get some opponent plays. >> Number two, Dan. >> So, it was Dulan that was shaken up on that play, which is not good news. the game he's having. He's being walked off gingerely. >> Now he's now. >> Okay, that's good sign. Jogging off is good. So they can decide whether they want to run out of play cuz I believe the clock should stop on the spot of
102the ball. We have 10 seconds left in the third quarter. ever holding on to a 21-7 lead >> and they're going to let it run. >> Yeah. >> And that's the whistle for the third quarter. We are entering the final quarter of this opening season matchup between the Medford Mustangs and the Ever Crimson Tide. [Applause] And during that stretch of John Dez's career, Paul, >> I don't think every high school has faced off against Katak Memorial High School. And we're not going to start now either. They did scrimmage them a week or two ago. >> They are loaded in division 2. Loaded. Producing division one athletes on a yearly basis across all of those athletic programs. >> Take a look. This is the interception that set it up. But Marty Negron picked up the deflection
103down to the two and the drive was capped by Tyler Freny on a threeyd run. Medford did respond and Medford had a long kick return plus an Ever penalty that set them up at the Ever 27. And it took them five plays, but they did get in on fourth down for a touchdown to temporarily cut it to 21. Seven. Ever is though threatening again. First and 10 to start the fourth at the Medford 17 yd line. After a huge run by run play by Jamari Doulan, Tyler Freddy in the shotgun takes a snap in the pistol. Hands it off to John Barreros who finds a hole. Pogbs his way through to near. That is the score. He broke the play. Fourth, the fourth touchdown of the night. His second. And he looks to be shaking
104up on that play as well. Boy, what a tough strong run. He is lying down on the goal line. Best case scenario. Wind knocked out of him. And once again, I think that play came down to a lot of good blocking. Here is the replay. >> Yep. He's going to be hit again. and he's hit at the sixyd line and he gets in. So I'm not sure what he did hit the ground hard. Um might be some cramps. It is a little bit humid out there. >> It is It is warm as we said. It's a perfect night to watch it. It is still a little warm to play. >> 76° at this time. 7:47 p.m. >> Ever I think is going for two, which would make sense with Guerrero being the kicker and him
105just getting hurt. >> So Freddy is going out there and also returning to the game is Jamari Dulan. >> Jamari Dulan. And also going in is Steven Thomas. [Applause] So it'll be Tyler Freddy taking the snap for the Crimson Tide. Shotgun formation. Three receivers out there. We got Jamari Duelan in motion. It's going to be hand up to Dulan trying to find the outside but swallowed up by the Med Mustangs. >> Kaisan Lewis Jean on the tackle. >> Two-point conversion. No good. So that will keep the score at 277. >> Switching the conversation from John Deazzo to John to Rob Dorto in his three-year career at his first appearance. Won three games in the shortened COVID year that was played in the spring. In year two, he had an undefeated regular season before being upset
106by Mthuan in the first round of the playoffs. And his third year, he lost one game to Zarian Brothers in the regular season. Went on to beat Taunt in the first round of the playoffs before losing to Central Catholic in the next round. Here's a kickoff return by Martins taking it up. finds the sideline again and runs out of bounds at the Medford 34. I believe I said he has really played well. >> Knocked out of bounds by Kerbins. Joseph >> 18 yds on the kick return. >> So Meford back on that offense trailing by three scores with 1148 left in the fourth quarter. Moody in the shotgun taking the snap. Hands it off to the middle and gets immediately brought down. Tripped up by Jonathan Go at the first initial point of contact. >>
107You've called his name a lot tonight. 66 EJ right >> and then finishing off the play >> is number 66 EJ right >> is only a sophomore >> only a sophomore and that is one big man of a sophomore >> right on the defensive line see me in the left tackle position Here's Moody again from the shotgun formation. Here's a motion by Martins. It's going to be hand off to Debbie Georgees. Brings it up to the 40 yd line. Maybe 41. >> He's close to the first down. He's not going to have it. Yo, he had to get to Pardon. He has to get to the 43. He's going to be about two just about two yards short. [Applause] George is also having one good game as he is a senior on the menful Mustangs
108team. >> Good split >> between Upperc and Medford that make up this varsity roster. We have a lot of freshman making plays on the defensive end for Medford as well. So back on offense, speed option >> and hard hit on the sidelines >> by number nine. >> Number two again >> making plays on both sides of the ball. >> Stopped suddenly by number nine Tyler Freddy. >> Here we get a closeup of that speed option play on replay. >> Freddy forcing the pitch and then bringing him down. The big hit was Freddy had him first, but the big hit was the second guy in >> Jamari Dan. >> Big play here. Fourth and four. [Applause] >> Thank you, man. [Applause] >> Fourth and four for the Mustangs. Here's a hand off to Martins. >> Curt
109find an opening. Gets thorned by that big Everett defensive line. wrapped up by number 11 Armani [Music] and the time will take over on your turnover on Dallas on the Medford territory. Ever in good field position. [Applause] >> Here's a replay. That's That's right. Martin just runs into a a couple linebackers that were just waiting for him. There's Josh Delgazo now. >> One of the best PAs in the business. I tell you, I learned a lot from him when I was in high school. In fact, my whole commentating style is based off his personality. I don't know if you can hear it, but no one can match Josh Delgazo. >> Josh is the man. >> Freddy with an empty back. He takes it himself with a designed quarterback power play up the middle and gets
110a good chunk taking it close to the sticks. Second and nine brought down by a number 35, the one with no name on the roster for Medford. >> So once again putting this one away. Here's Freddy again. Again, he is definitely a run first option at quarterback, but has thrown the ball, but uh good blocking scheme. >> Good balance, I think, defensively. They've had a good game. Not a great game, but but a good solid game. >> Another empty back for Crimson Tower. We're seeing all kinds of formations in this first week matchup. Here's a power play that was meant to go to the left, but Tyler finds a hole in the middle, picking up the first down. the ball carrier. >> First and 10. >> And that will be at the Medford 24 yd
111line. [Music] Good vision by Tyler Freddy >> to see that his initial route blocked off, but found an alternative route to take and took him to the first yard, I mean first down marker. Back to a piss overlook. Jamari Dueling in the back field. He receives a hands off handoff. Takes it off tackle and they're brought down by number 54 of Medford. >> The ball carrier >> Xavier sophomore for the Mustangs. Tyler Franny 14 carries 129 yards and two touchdowns. I >> think one thing that I got used to expecting out of Ever is a good run game. >> They always pick up short yardage, >> but they add up to a lot of total yardage as a team. I I don't I I I >> Now John Barrera receives a handoff off tackle speeds
112his way carries a lot of defenders into inside the 5yd line >> at the oneyd line. John Barios a very dangerous player at the running back position. First it was the speed that got him through that first line of defense. Then the strength that brought him that brought Medford into extra yards. >> It was very similar to the the play that he had the touchdown on just a few minutes ago. I mean, this time he got taken down with the one. [Applause] >> Fun fact, one of my younger cousins attend Medford High School. She's on the soccer team for the Mustangs. >> Yes. Yes, it is. Yes, it is. >> First down and goal. >> First and goal ever going in the tight formation. Freddy on the under center. In the back field, we have
113Sam Lome. It's going to be a fumble recovered by Medford. Fumble on the play recovered by Medford. ever executed that hand off for me. >> Once again, that's that freshman Dylan Gianino making a lot of plays on the defensive end for the Mustangs. >> Bright future for this kid. I could see it. >> Well, Coach Dorettto is going to be in the fortunate position of having a big win on the scoreboard and plenty plenty to take them to task on >> from the replay on it. Just a tough hand off. Freddy couldn't make that handle. >> On the good news though for the average offensively, Medford is taking over from the two yd line in their own territory. >> Yeah. Well, that is good news, but I'd rather have them taking over 20 after a
114kickoff following a touchdown. >> But here they are lining up with the shotgun formation. Two by two. Moody dropping back, looking to his right and just throws it out of bounds. Safe decision to make. Good decision by Moody. >> Second and 10. >> With 649 left in the fourth quarter. [Applause] Moody going back into the huddle >> and I believe Memphis is at the three yd line once again trying to go for the big play as they line up in the shotgun formation. Two receivers to each side, spread out wide. Here's a snap. Sitting in the pocket looking for a pass in the slot to number one Martins, but overthrown. >> That was Tyler Freddy, the court linebacker in coverage. So that would be third and 10 from the Meford three yd line. [Music] Tyler
115Freddy making plays defensively and offensively. A >> lot of speed to show off on both sides of the ball. So Memphis in a pickle here. Third and 10 on their own three. And you know it's just kind of a formality now to run through this 646. And Everett will look ahead to Lynn Classical coming into Ever Memorial Stadium. John Dubaso Field next Friday, same bat time, 6 pm. [Music] >> Heard the motion to the right, but Moody looks to his left looking for Ronald David. Gets overthrown and that was Jamari Dulan in coverage. >> Jamari Doulan on the coverage. >> Incomplete pass and it'll be fourth and 10. Meet looks like they're going to go for a punt with 6 minutes and 40 seconds left of the game. The punt is up against it here.
116Literally up against the the back line of the goal line. Now, usually you go back about 15 yards. And that's just about where he is right now. Have >> a good snap. >> Safe snap. And Martins kicks it to Dulan who fields it. No fair for a catch. finds an opening to the far side of the field looking for a block. Finds it >> and finally brought down by the putter Martins. [Applause] [Music] >> So that was a that was a patient reception by >> by Duelan. I thought the way he was standing there might have been a fair fair catch. And Martins, who's played very very well for Medford, is down here. There's Doulan now. He's just going to kind of re breaks that tackle and says, "Let me just take a look at
117what we got here." Waiting for some blocking. Cuts it back to the middle and he is down at the 18 yd line. Right in the red zone. So Medford next week has a by-week and then they also face off against Lynn Classical the week after hosts them. >> The Medford game at Lin Classical is on September 19th 6 p.m. >> And we got a shot of Joe Cambi, engineer extraordinaire for EHS TV 15. Shout out to Joe Camley. Okay, ever they put on a >> a rare sight >> split back. Here's a handoff to John Barios. Tries to kick it to the outside, gets the speed, gets the block, cuts it up, and makes his way into the end zone for his third touchdown. Patrick for John Barios. One play and done. The mobility on
118this kid, the footwork, the speed, and the power. He has it all. >> Three scorers on the day, extending the score line to 33 and seven. [Music] >> And now here he is for the PAT, which also adds up to his score total. Paul, >> you probably did. That's a sticky. It's a terrible. So, he's not getting six points on the touchdown. He's also getting the seventh point on the PAT. >> Well, it's good to see him back. He was banged up a little bit on the touchdown he scored. The the previous touchdown he scored. >> That's three on the night for him. >> Kick is down. Snap is good. Kick is good. >> Four. >> Another point. [Applause] with 617 left in the fourth quarter. [Music] >> Here's a look of the good blocking,
119good vision, and we're going to see him stick his foot in the ground and cut it up field. [Music] ever leading opening night football from around the state. [Music] [Applause] >> So it looks like kickoff duties are going to be handled by >> Feniti. Weniti, >> senior offensive lineman. Here's a kick. Pretty good kick. makes his way to none other than Gary Martins who has a lot of good kick returns. This one is going to be a good one as well. >> Takes it up >> about 10 yards from when it was fielded. >> Meford takes possession at >> the 32 yd line. >> Godson Delis May. [Music] >> That was Godson Delis May. And on the tackle [Music] those extra points. [Music] >> Did you see that good spiral throw by the referee to
120the sideline? >> I did not. Did you put a good good toss on? >> Pretty solid. >> Nice. >> You think referee's practice? >> No, they just rest the game. [Applause] Short pass to Martins. Couldn't make the clean catch, but if he did, >> that was Tyler Freddy >> waiting to make the play. >> Here's a replay. Moody trying to find Martins. That's couldn't make the clean catch. A little bit behind. 21st pass attempt for Medford tonight. [Applause] >> Also leading the band for the Crimson Tides today, AHS alumni Brian Spencer, class of 2016, alongside Eugene O'Brien. Here's a handoff to Demi Georgees. makes a good run and finally brought down at the Everett 44 yd line. >> That's good for Mustangs first down. >> So Medford trying to get a make the score look
121better. Touchdown. Nice run by George here. Goes off the right side. Has a good good seed to go through. Breaks the tackle of Barreros and then he is finally brought down by Freddy. What a game Freddy had on both sides of the ball. [Applause] Three brief receivers to the top of the screen, but the handoff goes to Georgees. Tackle made by >> number 11 Armani Negron. [Music] [Applause] >> And then in support is Wilditi and Sam Lome. [Music] Sometimes I think Josh and I are saying the same thing at the same time. I told you I get telepathic. It's telepathic. >> I told you I get my personality from him at the mic. >> Yeah, >> Moody looking for the comeback route to Sam. >> Der still couldn't make the catch, but that was a
122good looking ball. >> Jamari Doulian in coverage. He's played well. You know, the quarterback's played well. Georgees has play I I mean George's has run well. Martins has played extremely well there. They they have had some players as some Medford fans are hanging in there. Plenty of plenty of room to spread out. >> And the players you just named for me are all seniors. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] >> Me has 16 seniors on the team. I would say Medford is going to win some games. They look they look okay. I think they've done a good job. >> Moody's looking right again for Sam Deris. Gets gang tackled after a short pickup of five yds. I'll make it fourth down >> with 350 left in the game. Also on the tackle was Armani Negron. Also had a
123good game. Here's [Music] a replay. Good hands. Tries to make a move and slither out, but >> Jamari Doulan had a good grasp until Nron could come and support and finish off the play. >> Well, this could be Medford's last offensive snap. They are at fourth and five with the clock running. Here's Moody with a snap, rolling to his right, looking down for a quarter route. Launches it deep for number 18 Ronald Don who makes a catch. Nope. Incomplete pass. >> He had it and you were right. He had it. It was knocked away. >> Good defensive play by John Barreros. But I still have to admire the almost catch by Rand David. Yeah, I think he had it temporarily. So, you'll see it right here. Rolling out is the quarterback. He plants, he waits,
124waits as long as he can. He gets it off. And take a look at very good coverage. Get some separation in his hands. And great instinct by Barreros to come swiping down with that right hand and knock it away. Money, he is making these connections. And fun fact, Ronald David is a freshman. [Applause] So, I think you'll see nothing fancy out of the Crimson Tide here. You >> know, they're probably just going to run it out. That was a turnover and downs with 3 minutes and 6 seconds left. Hand off goes to number 26, Steven Thomas, who picks up six yards on the play. >> Good to see a different jersey number carrying the ball. He's going to pick up eight and they'll take as much time as they can. Maybe have to snap it
125four or five more times and they will take this win and move on to Lynn Classical. Here's Thomas coming right at you. >> Nice job, Thomas. Good job cutting, stutterstepping back inside. Gets him a few extra yards. >> M to be patient and follow the blockers and wait for an opportunity for a hole to open up. [Music] But here's Ever again in the same formation [Applause] >> pistol formation with Stevens in the back. Steven Thomas who receives a handoff, picks up the first down and brought down by number 60 Joshua Mendes Jr. >> All the flags have been thrown out. Multiple flags on the >> I think you're going to see offsetting personal fouls here. That's my guess, but we'll see. It was a first down carry. It's clearly a dead ball foul. Referees are
126gathering to discuss. Looks like three out of five has thrown out a flag. Deb foul foul personal on Everett. >> We're going to replay first down. >> Personal foul against ever. >> Not replay. The first down counts. They'll just be pushed back 10 yards. >> Make the 35. >> I think coach just gave him a signal to kneel on it if I'm not mistaken. Clock's running, >> but that is another flag and flag yards to add on to, boys. Already a abysmal. >> I think unofficially I got them at 65 yards in the second half alone. In the first half, they had uh only 10. So, >> so Ever did get their first yard, I mean, first down on that penalty. And now they're just going to take the knee and run out the clock.
127They will walk away with the first victory to happen on the John Dyazo field. >> Yeah, they'll probably have to snap it uh 24. If they let this run down enough, they might only have to snap it uh two more times and be done with it. As we keep mentioning that this is a brandly brand new renovated field. On October 25th for homecoming, there will be a special ceremony to commemorate the namesake of the field, John Debazo. So that's something the city could look forward to. John Debazo also has been awarded the key to the city >> in his final years at Ever High School. Handed off by Mayor Carlo de Maria. >> Well, you can't do enough for that guy. I've been around a lot of coaches and even bet this a long time
128be from back when I played high school sports a million years ago and worked as a sports writer for a long time referee. He is as good a high school coach in any sport I have ever come across. The homecoming game is on Saturday, October 25th with kickoff slated to be at 1:30 p.m. And that'll do it. They will not have to snap it again. So, they did a good job running that out as the fans are leaving and Everett is going to leave here with a 34-7 workmanlike win on opening night. Plenty of room for improvement, but after what's been going on uh after the disappointing year last year, they will be happy to get the Rob Doredo 2.0 era off to a winning start. Ever >> final score from the John DB on
129the field at Everton Memorial Stadium. Everett 34, Medford 7. Paul, any other final thoughts you'd like to share? No, good job. Glad to work with you. Good job. And uh we will see with the Lynn Classical Rams under new coach Brian Smith. Very successful high school coach in South Carolina. He is a classical grad. He moved back home and took the job. So we'll see what the Rams bring in next week. Rams, an expanded team of the GBL, Medford and Ever being one of the few remaining originals along with Somerville. So, we like to see the compet competitive pool expand for both of these teams. Medford on the bye-week. And I think that will do it for us here at EHS TV15. I was sitting with Paul Hollerin. I'm Animosmani. And on the behalf of
130the entire TV crew, thanks for watching. Hope you tune in next time for some good old Crimson Tide football. [Applause] Good job. [Music] Yeah. [Music]
