10 WEEKLYNEWS.NET - 978-532-5880 SEPTEMBER 20, 2018 Tough trip to Danvers for Tanners By Anne Marie Tobin DANVERS -- It was one step forward, two steps back for the Peabody football team, which was manhandled by Danvers, 30-3, Friday night at Dr. Deering Stadium. Dropped passes, costly penalties and a defense that couldn’t keep up with the faster, quicker Falcons added up to an ugly night of football. “We had our opportunities, but we simply didn’t play well,” Peabody coach Mark Bettencourt said. “We took way too many penalties, we lined up incorrectly way too many times, we didn’t read defensive keys, and we didn’t do a good job blocking. We knew exactly what Danvers was going to do. Our footwork was slow, but in the end penalties just strangled us. Every time we had some momentum, a flag was thrown and that killed us.” Peabody had no answers for Falcons’ senior quarterback Brendan Treacy and senior running back Matt McCarthy. Treacy threw for 230 yards, and completed touchdown passes of 47 and 54 yards, while McCarthy ran for 175 yards and 3 touchdowns. The Falcons racked up 345 yards of net offense, while Peabody mustered only 147. “We absolutely knew that McCarthy was their big threat, but we allowed him to control the game,” Bettencourt said. “The kids need to pay more attention to what we are doing and focus on fundamentals. They need to know their responsibilities and do their jobs.” Danvers served notice on Peabody’s first possession, forcing a three-and-out. After a 37-yard punt by Declan Russell, the Falcons methodically drove to the Tanners’ 9-yard line before the drive stalled. Max Leete converted a 26-yard field goal to give the Falcons an early 3-0 lead. After the Tanners turned the ball over on downs at their 49, Danvers needed only three minutes to make it 10-0, with McCarthy doing the honors from 9 yards out (Leete PAT). The Tanners let a golden opportunity slip on the next drive when, from the Tanners’ 22, quarterback Matt Jandrisevits had Russell open at the Falcons’ 40, but Russell couldn’t hold on. Another penalty on the Tanners on Danvers’ next drive set up the next Falcons touchdown -- a 45-yard strike from Treacy to McCarthy (Leete PAT) to make it 17-0. The Tanners finally broke the ice when Austin Leggett nailed a 40-yard field goal to end the half.

It went from bad to worse in the second half for Peabody, which put up only 46 yards of offense, all of them (and 36 on one rush by Angel Paulino) coming on the game’s final drive. Danvers added two more second-half scores on a Treacy to Ezra Lombardi 54-yard strike and a McCarthy 2-yard run. Paulino finished with 57 yards on eight carries, while Jandrisevits (6-of 14, 70 yards) finished with 45 yards on 10 carries. Jared Ridley led the receivers with 25 yards on four catches. Guridys chipped in with two receptions good for 38 yards. It’s back to the drawing board for Peabody. “I don’t know if we’re moving too fast and losing kids, but if you ask the coaches, they and I would agree that we are not,” said Bettencourt. “Tonight it came down to they shot gaps and we didn’t pick them up. Our footwork was slow and that led to penetration, which led to us not being very smooth on offense and unable to find any rhythm. And we have to understand that swarm doesn’t mean hit after the whistle. We dropped some passes and that’s the scary thing about the spread as you have to throw it, but you also have to catch it.” It doesn’t get any easier for the Tanners as they travel to Marblehead’s Piper Field next Friday night (7) for another tough Northeastern Conference road contest. “They will throw more at us than Danvers,” Bettencourt said. “We knew that this would be a very challenging stretch of away games.” Thursday, Sept. 20 Field hockey N’port at Lynnfield, 3:45 Boys soccer N’port at Lynnfield, 3:45 Marblehead at Peabody, 6:30 Girls soccer Lynnfield at N’port, 3:45 Peabody at Beverly, 4 Cross country Revere at Peabody, 4 Golf Peabody at Somerville, TBD Fenwick at Austin Prep, 3 Volleyball Peabody at Winthrop, 5 St. Mary’s at Fenwick, 5:30 Friday, Sept. 21 Volleyball Triton at Lynnfield, 5:30 Football Lynnfield at Amesbury, 7 Peabody at Marblehead, 7 Pentucket at Fenwick, 7 Field hockey Peabody at Marblehead, 4 Fenwick at Beverly, 4 Girls soccer Fenwick at Arl.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2018 Fri. Sept. 28 thru Mon. Oct. 8 WWW.TOPSFIELDFAIR.ORG WEEKLYNEWS.NET - 978-532-5880 11 Peabody hall to induct 18 members PEABODY — The Peabody High School Athletic Hall of Fame will induct 18 new honorees for contributing to the success of the school’s sports program and their community involvement. The inductees will be introduced be introduced Thursday, Nov. 22 before the kickoff of the Tanners’ Thanksgiving Day clash against Saugus at Coley Lee Field. On Friday, Nov. 23, the honorees will be formally inducted during a banquet at the Danversport Yacht Club. Two inductees are 2007 basketball team captains Kyle Multner and Eddie Leonard. Leonard excelled in basketball and was a 1,000 point scorer. Multner finished his basketball career with 960 points, but his real passion was baseball. As a senior, he led the Tanners to a Greater Boston League championship with a 6-1 pitching record with 0.79 ERA. Three inductees went on to successful careers as Peabody firefighters or policemen. Gary Hayward (1977) captained the soccer and baseball teams. Scott Wlasuk (1979) was a three-sport athlete who made significant contributions to the football, lacrosse and track teams. He went on to excel in football and lacrosse at Wesleyan University. As a senior, Patrick Conrad (1980) helped lead the Tanners to a 9-1 record in football By Harold Rivera LYNN — Bishop Fenwick boys soccer coach Tony Enos felt his Crusaders had two of their toughest opponents back-to-back to open the season. Wednesday night’s 2-2 tie with St. Mary’s at Manning Field proved Enos was right but his Crusaders were up for the challenge. “Both of these teams were very difficult,” Enos said. “St. Mary’s is a real crosstown rivalry. St. Mary’s won the league last year so we’re very happy to tie them. They’re a very good, quality team. We had opportunities to win so the game could’ve gone either way.” Joseph Thongsythavong scored both St. Mary’s goals. Kevin Perez dished the assist on both goals. “We had up and down flow today,” St. Mary’s coach Mike and batted .515 in baseball. Former hockey team MVPs Mark Leonard (1984) and Gary Ruddock (1974) are also being inducted. Ruddock was a key defenseman on the 1976 team that advanced to the state semi-finals at Boston Garden, while Leonard was a two-time leading scorer for the Tanners who went on to excel at the University of Connecticut and the European Hockey Federation before he became the head coach of the Tanners in 1995. Track standout Charlie Spurr (1970) is also among the new inductees. He was team MVP as a senior and still holds the record for the 120-yard outdoor (15.1) and 45-yard indoor high hurdles (5.9). Lauren (Orlando) LaTorella and Heather Popp, both 2005 graduates, were 2-sport standouts. LaTorella captained the volleyball and basketball teams and led the Tanners to GBL championships in both sports as a senior. She went on to become a three-year basketball starter at Brandeis University. Popp served as captain of the soccer and lacrosse teams. She was MVP in lacrosse and set the record for single game goals (10). Gary Palmieri Jr. (2002) will join his brother Anthony in the Hall. He was a three-sport standout in football, hockey and D’Agostino said. “We had our chances to finish but we couldn’t. (Fenwick goalie) Brian (Harrington) is a great keeper. He’s solid in net. “Joseph had two nice goals short side with both assists from Kevin.” Brendan Crichton scored in the first half and Sean Walsh added a goal in the second half to account for Fenwick’s scoring. It didn’t take Thongsythavong long to make his impact felt in this one. The senior captain got the Spartans started on the right foot with the game’s first goal just five and a half minutes into the tilt, putting the Spartans ahead 1-0. Fenwick answered when Crichton found the back of the net to tie the game at 1-1 with 8:19 left in the half. Thongsythavong gave the Spartans a boost of momentum, and the lead again, when he scored his second goal of the night in the closing seconds of the half. St. Mary’s led 2-1 at halftime. The Crusaders tied the game at 2-2 on a goal from Walsh with 28:51 remaining on the clock. “It shows mental toughness,” Enos said. “These guys are mentally tough, they really are. They’re disciplined, mentally tough. We made some adjustments from what we were seeing in the game. They carried it through, they were very organized and very disciplined but mentally they’re very tough. This team doesn’t give up.” Both teams had a handful of chances to notch the go-ahead goal but neither could put one in.

Three more outstanding three-sport female athletes — Tracey (McKeen) Palazzola (1997), Jocelyn (Costa) Sullivan (2004) and Michelle Renee Grifoni (2008) will also be inducted. McKeen served as Fenwick boys soccer forges tie with St. Mary’s closing minute to preserve the 2-2 tie. “Nick’s a very good keeper,” Enos said. “I thought that was his best save of the night. He made a great save. The ball was clearly struck hard because I saw Nick kind of shake his hands a little bit after he stopped it, so that was a stinger.” Enos credited center-back Andrew Perry for a solid game. “Andrew was the fastest kid on the field,” Enos said. “St. Mary’s 2 FREE admissions with this Pass!
