Revere High boys soccer finished with a 14-1-1 record to win the inaugural Greater Boston League Cup. The Patriots were undefeated during the regular season, claiming the 2026 GBL championship. They secured the league title by finishing with the best record in the conference. The team has now advanced to the MIAA Division 2 state tournament.

Coach Gerardo Rodriguez’s squad faced Everett in the semifinal match on Tuesday. Revere held a 2-0 lead at halftime and increased the advantage in the second half. The final score was 5-1. Jeronimo Agudelo Alvarez scored two goals. Imran Sarhrani, Matias Rivera Mejia, and Ronald Salcedo each added a goal. The Crimson Tide finished fourth in the regular season standings.

The championship game against Chelsea was more competitive. Chelsea, the second-place team, had recorded six shutouts in their previous nine matches. They are currently ranked 26th in Division 2. Agudelo Alvarez scored just 30 seconds after the start of the match. Chelsea scored an own goal to give Revere a 2-0 lead at the break.

A Chelsea player received a red card early in the second half. The Red Devils played with one fewer player for the remainder of the contest. Rodriguez said the team managed the game well after scoring the early goal. He noted that the red card effectively ended the competitive portion of the match. Revere played out the final minutes to secure the victory.

The Patriots are currently ranked 12th in the Division 2 power rankings. This ranking guarantees them a home match in the first round of the state tournament. The MIAA is scheduled to announce the tournament brackets on Thursday. The team will have a few days of rest before their first round opponent is determined.

Revere High also had strong showings in cross country. Senior captain Diogo Yogi finished second in the 5K race at Torbert Macdonald Park in Medford. His time was 17:49. This is the top individual finish by a Revere boy in a league meet in decades. Sophomore Kosta Stamatopoulos placed fourth with a time of 18:24. Both runners earned GBL All-Star status.

The Revere High volleyball team ended its season with a 3-0 win over Medford. Haley Peralta recorded 18 kills, a career best. Sofia Guzman had seven kills and four aces. Anna Doucette recorded 17 assists. The team also defeated Everett 3-0 earlier in the week. Revere lost to Essex Tech and Lynn Classical by scores of 3-0 in separate matches.

Senior captain Emma DeCrosta finished 17th in the GBL cross country meet with a time of 25:30. Coach Katie Sinnott said DeCrosta placed higher than ever before at this event. Jaelyn Torres finished 34th with a time of 28:48. Both athletes will compete in upcoming state invitationals. The Frank Mooney State Coach’s Meet is scheduled for Saturday, November 7.
