Cameron is a Rotary Club hero<br />

By SAM MinTon<br />

The city's Rotary Club has named Sharon Cameron<br />

as its local hero.<br />

This honor was given to Cameron as part of the Rotary<br />

District 7930’s “Celebration of Heroes” on Nov.<br />

11 at the Danversport Yacht Club. Each Rotary Club<br />

in the district was invited to nominate a hero, which in<br />

this case was someone who has made a difference in<br />

their community.<br />

Cameron was unanimously selected by the club for<br />

her undeniably tireless work and continuing efforts to<br />

keep the city safe for its residents, workers, and visitors<br />

during the COVID-19 pandemic.<br />

“I am honestly speechless," said Cameron. "This is<br />

such an incredible honor and I truly appreciate your<br />

recognizing our work during the pandemic. I view this<br />

recognition as rightfully belonging to my whole team,<br />

and we are so honored to have our work recognized.”<br />

Cameron has been in public health for 32 years. She<br />

was attracted to public health because of the variety of<br />

ways public health is part of people’s lives.<br />

“Our team at the Peabody Health Department has<br />

worked tirelessly throughout the pandemic and I am<br />

extremely proud of their professionalism, knowledge,<br />

and compassion,” she added.<br />

The Rotary District 7930’s Celebration of Heroes<br />

benefits the Rotary Foundation, which in turn funds the<br />

charitable acts of the organization locally, throughout<br />

the country, and across the globe.<br />

Newbury Street developers to<br />

wait out ZBA’s safe harbor<br />

By AlenA KuzuB<br />

A developer at 128 Newbury St. intends<br />

to continue engaging with the<br />

abutters despite the Zoning Board of<br />

Appeals’ decision to assert a “safe<br />

harbor” stipulation and deny a Chapter<br />

40B comprehensive permit on Nov. 1.<br />

“We are willing to try to walk through<br />

other aspects of an approval process<br />

and to continue to meet with neighbors<br />

so that, when we feel our application<br />

would be reconsidered, we would be in<br />

a position to have completed much of<br />

that review,” said local Attorney John<br />

Kielty, who represents the developer<br />

Trammell Crow Company, and its subsidiary<br />

Maple Multi-Family Land SE,<br />

YMCA<br />

half-marathon<br />

is on Nov. 20<br />

By Anne MArie ToBin<br />

The annual Torigian Family Livestrong<br />

at the Y half marathon and 5K road race<br />

will be held on Saturday, Nov. 20.<br />

Race proceeds are dedicated to<br />

Livestrong, a Y program for cancer<br />

survivors.<br />

“This test of running endurance is perfect<br />

for experienced runners and those<br />

looking to complete their first half marathon,”<br />

said YMCA of Metro North Senior<br />

Director of Marketing Sandy St. Louis.<br />

St. Louis said the 5K race has been added<br />

for “runners and walkers looking to enjoy<br />

a fun morning and help support cancer<br />

survivors in our 12-week Livestrong<br />

program.”<br />

The Livestrong program focuses on<br />

physical activity and social connections<br />

that have been proven to help decrease<br />

fatigue after cancer treatment, as well as<br />

increase energy and overall quality of life.<br />

Survivors participate in free, customized<br />

exercise regimens prepared by certified<br />

fitness instructors that cater to survivors’<br />

individual needs.<br />

“Our instructors are trained in cancer<br />

survivorship, post-rehabilitation exercise,<br />

and supportive cancer care,” St. Louis<br />

said, adding that survivors and their families<br />

receive a membership at the YMCA<br />

Winona Street and Route 1 that<br />

had been cleared of vegetation and<br />

stood empty for 15 years.<br />

The developer proposed to<br />

build three four-story buildings<br />

clustered near the back of the lot<br />

with 220 studio, one-, two-, and<br />

three-bedroom units. Amenities<br />

would include recreation space,<br />

public workstations with Wi-Fi, an<br />

outdoor pool and grill stations, fitness<br />

center, clubhouse lounges and<br />

meeting spaces, gaming areas, and<br />

wet bars. The project is estimated<br />

to cost $65 million.<br />

Kielty represented the developer<br />

at the ZBA meeting on Nov. 1. He<br />

said that they have been working<br />

with the Engineering Department<br />

of the city, have filed an inquiry<br />

with the Conservation Commission<br />

to determine whether they have<br />

any jurisdiction over the parcel,<br />

and have submitted a Request for<br />

Determination of Applicability<br />

which determines whether the<br />

Wetlands Protection Act applies to<br />

a proposed site.<br />

Kielty also said that they have<br />

been engaged with abutters for<br />

months, in particular with neighbors<br />

from Cardigan Road, whom<br />

they notified about the filings and<br />

the ZBA meeting. Kielty expected<br />

that during the meeting the developer<br />

and ZBA would schedule further<br />

peer-review sessions. The developers<br />

said they were willing to<br />

accommodate the ZBA schedule,<br />

recognizing the upcoming holiday<br />

season.<br />

However, the discussion of the<br />

project did not take a long time.<br />

Daniel Sencabaugh, ZBA’s secretary,<br />

said that Peabody has already<br />

met a requirement of 10 percent<br />

affordable housing units, including<br />

subsidized-housing inventory,<br />

according to a letter dated April<br />

29, 2021 from the Department<br />

of Housing and Community<br />

Development to Mayor Edward<br />

A. Bettencourt Jr., about the city’s<br />

Housing Production Plan for<br />

March 2021-March 2022.<br />

Sencabaugh made a motion to<br />

assert “safe harbor”, a tool that allows<br />

ZBAs to deny a comprehensive<br />

permit if the statutory minima<br />

for affordable housing has been<br />

met. The board voted unanimously<br />

to support the motion.<br />

In case of safe harbor, according<br />

to the law, the Housing Appeals<br />

Committee cannot overturn the<br />

ZBA’s decision.<br />

Sencabaugh told the Weekly<br />

News that he was not interested in<br />

providing any further commentary<br />

about the decision.<br />

Because of the current single-family<br />

zoning for the premises,<br />

the developer needs to be utilizing<br />

Chapter 40B to be able to propose<br />

a project of a greater density, said<br />

Kielty. If they were to try to turn<br />

this project into 100 percent market-rate<br />

units, they would need<br />

to apply for a zone change. At<br />

this point, Trammell Crow has<br />

not pursued that, Kielty said. The<br />

company would not be interested<br />

in building single-family homes at<br />

128 Newbury St. because it is not<br />

the focus of their business.<br />

Over a period of months, Kielty<br />

said, the developer has demonstrated<br />

its willingness to accommodate<br />

abutters’ suggestions by<br />

reducing the number of units in the<br />

project, moving buildings further<br />

away from property lines toward<br />

Route 1, increasing the density of<br />

the landscaping on bordering areas,<br />

and discussing road access.<br />

“My client, Trammell Crow,<br />

has a national reputation of doing<br />

what they said they would do in a<br />

manner they suggested they would<br />

do it. They have worked hard to be<br />

aware of the concern of neighbors,”<br />

Kielty said. “We’ve found that the<br />

neighbors have been responsive to<br />

our desire to meet with them and<br />

have been forthcoming with questions,<br />

inquiries, and suggestions<br />

about access, fire access, et cetera.”<br />

He said that they’ve seen the<br />

impact of unfettered runoff from<br />

the property and they have a plan<br />

for drainage that will need to be<br />

reviewed by the Department of<br />

Public Services and whomever the<br />

neighbors would choose for a peer<br />

review.<br />

Ward 5 Councilor Joel Saslaw,<br />

who organized meetings between<br />

the developer and the community<br />

in the past, said that many abutters<br />

and surrounding neighbors would<br />

like to see the site developed after<br />

it’s been in shambles for close to<br />

two decades. Although some abutters<br />

on Cardigan Road are not 100<br />

percent in favor, they understand<br />

that this developer has really tried<br />

to work with them, Saslaw said.<br />

One of the main achievements of<br />

the negotiations with the developer<br />

was the modifications to the access<br />

to Winona Street. There won’t be<br />

a Winona Street entrance or exit at<br />

all, Saslaw said.<br />

“I think it is a good project,” said<br />

Saslaw. “The developer has been<br />

totally transparent both with the<br />

city and with the neighbors.”<br />

half-marathon/<br />

Library hosts Poe-themed ballet<br />

By HannaH CHadwiCk<br />

The Peabody Institute Library<br />

held a screening of the<br />

New England Ballet Theatre<br />

on Monday where they showed<br />

their performance The Myth and<br />

Madness of Edgar Allen Poe via<br />

projection in the Sutton Room.<br />

One of the performance directors,<br />

who was also a lead<br />

dancer in the ballet, was at the<br />

Library to answer questions<br />

and introduce the performance.<br />

The performance was virtually<br />

due to COVID-19 guidelines in<br />

place and was free and open to<br />

the public.<br />

“I’ve been in touch with New<br />

England Ballet Theatre almost<br />

since they started as a company,"<br />

said Senior Adult Service and<br />

Public Programming Librarian<br />

Gabriela Toth. "They performed<br />

across the street at the Black<br />

Box Theatre. I saw the flyer and<br />

I had just been wanting to bring<br />

dance to the library since I started<br />

here."<br />

The show that was shown<br />

at PIL was choreographed by<br />

Christopher Fleming. Fleming<br />

was a member of the New York<br />

City Ballet, where he danced<br />

principal roles in performances<br />

and has toured internationally.<br />

Fleming's choreography career<br />

has received a fellowship from<br />

the National Choreographic Institute<br />

under the direction of Barbara<br />

Weissburgerm, the founder<br />

of the Pennsylvania Ballet.<br />

The New England Ballet<br />

Theatre is mainly located in<br />

Hartford, Connecticut, but travels<br />

to many theatres in the region<br />

for performances.<br />

Fleming's show, The Myth<br />

and Madness of Edgar Allen<br />

Poe, tells the story of famous<br />

writer Edgar Allen Poe and his<br />

descent into madness and expounds<br />

upon the death and desertion<br />

within Poe’s biography.<br />

Poe was abandoned by his father<br />

and disowned by his foster<br />

father, which resulted in relying<br />

on the women in his life.<br />

Disease was a common<br />

theme in Poe's life, and it took<br />

the many lives of people he<br />

cared about. With these deaths,<br />

Poe’s mind became twisted and<br />

full of demons. This was shown<br />

in many of Poe’s writings, leaving<br />

readers the imagination of<br />

what darkness was in his mind.<br />

Fleming's aim was to transport<br />

his life from the pages to the ballet<br />

stage.<br />

This event was sponsored by<br />

The Peabody Institute Library<br />

Foundation and the McCarthy<br />

Family Foundation. The Mc-<br />

Carthy Family Foundation was<br />

established in 1956 and focuses<br />

on the arts, education, food,<br />

health, and housing and shelter<br />

programs.<br />

For those who missed out<br />

on this event, the virtual performance<br />

is available to watch until<br />

Nov. 14 at 11:59 p.m. Tickets<br />

can be purchased on the New<br />

England Ballet Theatre website<br />

for $45 and will have unlimited<br />

access to viewing until Nov. 14.<br />

The Peabody Library Institute<br />

Library will also be hosting<br />

many different events throughout<br />

the month of November.<br />

Housing stability new focus in the city<br />

By Anne MArie ToBin<br />

The North Shore HOME<br />

Consortium (NSHC), an organization<br />

of 30 local communities,<br />

will be holding four public<br />

meetings to seek suggestions for<br />

the best uses for new HOME<br />

funding that has been awarded<br />

through the American Rescue<br />

Plan Act.<br />

Peabody Community Development’s<br />

North Shore HOME<br />

Consortium liaison Kevin Hurley<br />

said this year’s grant, which<br />

in prior years ranged between<br />

$2.2 to $2.3 million, has been increased<br />

to $7.4 million and will<br />

be used for homelessness assistance<br />

and support.<br />

“This is a new wrinkle this<br />

year, in that the grant will service<br />

homeless and formerly homeless<br />

people and those who are in unstable<br />

housing,” Hurley said.<br />

“It’s a little harder to do because<br />

you need a large variety of resources<br />

and there is that NIMBY<br />

(not in my backyard) element as<br />

well, but it’s great to see a substantial<br />

increase in funding.”<br />

The three in-person meetings<br />

will be held in Haverhill on<br />

Tuesday, Nov. 16 at 11 a.m. at<br />

The Haverhill Public Library’s<br />

Milhendler Room, 99 Main St.;<br />

in Peabody on Wednesday, Nov.<br />

17 at 12 p.m. at the Torigian Senior<br />

Center/ Peabody Council on<br />

Aging, 75R Central St.; and in<br />

Gloucester on Thursday, Nov. 18<br />

at 11 a.m. at the Sawyer Free Library,<br />

Friend Room, 2 Dale Ave.<br />

A Zoom meeting will be held on<br />

Thursday, Dec. 2.<br />

Following the conclusion<br />

of the community meetings, a<br />

draft plan will be created and<br />

made available for public comment<br />

through a series of public<br />

hearings that will be held to obtain<br />

feedback on the document.<br />

Comments from the public hearings<br />

will then be incorporated<br />

into a final draft of the plan,<br />

which will then be submitted to<br />

the U.S. Department of Housing<br />

and Urban Development<br />

(HUD); the housing department<br />

has a 30-day comment period,<br />

Hurley said.<br />

“It will take some time to<br />

gather feedback and incorporate<br />

it into a draft and we also expect<br />

to have feedback via email and<br />

regular mail,” Hurley said, adding<br />

he hopes to have a final plan<br />

in place sometime in January.<br />

Under the plan, eligible recipients<br />

include homeless people;<br />

people at risk of homelessness;<br />

people fleeing or attempting<br />

to flee domestic violence, sexual<br />

assault, stalking or human<br />

trafficking; people for whom<br />

housing assistance or supportive<br />

services would prevent homelessness<br />

or who are at the greatest<br />

risk of housing instability;<br />

and homeless veterans and their<br />

families.<br />

Eligible uses include tenantbased<br />

rental assistance, the<br />

development and support of<br />

affordable housing, support services,<br />

and the development of<br />

non-congregate shelter, which<br />

may later be converted to permanent<br />

affordable housing and<br />

emergency shelter units.<br />

Peabody is the lead community,<br />

functioning as a liaison<br />

between HUD and the other 29<br />

member communities.<br />

Hurley said the program has<br />

been around for more than 25<br />

years. Funding in past years has<br />

been used to develop more housing<br />

opportunities. He said that<br />

since the program started, more<br />

than $50 million has been used<br />

to create new housing.<br />

Citizens, interested parties,<br />

representatives from the consortium’s<br />

communities, and<br />

nonprofit providers are urged to<br />

participate. Written comments<br />

are also encouraged, and may be<br />

submitted no later than Friday,<br />

Dec. 3 by mail to Lisa Greene,<br />

grants manager, NSHC, The Department<br />

of Community Development<br />

and Planning, City Hall,<br />

shared her joy of giving to others<br />

wherever she went.<br />

teach psychiatric nursing skills at<br />

a hospital in Uganda. On her second<br />

trip to the country, she helped<br />

build a school by hand-making<br />

bricks and hauling them up a<br />

lover, she was a frequent visitor<br />

to the Huntington Theater, Boston<br />

Symphony, Tanglewood and Lyric<br />

also enjoyed skiing, hiking, camping<br />

and biking.<br />

Fenwick blows<br />

out Maynard to<br />

open playoff run<br />

FOOTBALL FOOTBALL PLAYOFFS<br />

By Sam Minton<br />

PEABODY — The No. 3<br />

Bishop Fenwick football team<br />

took care of business against<br />

the No. 14 Maynard Tigers<br />

Friday night, advancing to the<br />

Division 5 quarterfinals with<br />

a 49-14 win at Donaldson<br />

Stadium.<br />

It was a banner night for senior<br />

quarterback Steven Woods<br />

and senior receiver Jason<br />

Romans. Woods completed 10<br />

of his 13 passes for more than<br />

250 yards and six touchdowns.<br />

Romans had a combined four<br />

touchdowns and more than 100<br />

yards receiving.<br />

Fenwick coach David Woods<br />

was pleased with the performances<br />

he got from his two<br />

seniors.<br />

“Jason (Romans) is a tough<br />

kid to cover,” he said. “He is<br />

a special athlete for sure and<br />

Steven (Woods) is having fun<br />

playing quarterback. He did<br />

throw a couple of perfect balls<br />

(tonight).”<br />

The Crusaders’ defense came<br />

to play as well, forcing a threeand-out<br />

on Maynard’s opening<br />

drive. Woods’ offense started<br />

the drive on its 44 with about<br />

10 minutes left in the opening<br />

quarter.<br />

Fenwick quickly moved<br />

down the field, driving 56 yards<br />

in less than two minutes. This<br />

was mostly done through the<br />

air, with Woods throwing for 36<br />

yards in the opening drive. The<br />

Crusaders’ success culminated<br />

in a six-yard touchdown pass to<br />

Romans, giving Fenwick a 7-0<br />

lead after a successful pointafter<br />

attempt from Romans.<br />

Fenwick’s defense continued<br />

to stonewall Maynard, forcing a<br />

punt with a little more than four<br />

minutes left in the first quarter.<br />

By Mike Alongi<br />

The Northeastern Conference<br />

has announced its 2021 girls<br />

soccer all-stars and awards, and<br />

first-year Peabody head coach<br />

Andrew Douglass took home<br />

some hardware after he was<br />

named NEC Co-Coach of the<br />

Year along with Masconomet’s<br />

Alison Lecesse.<br />

Douglass had a great first<br />

season with the Tanners, helping<br />

to lead the girls to a 7-5-4 record<br />

(6-5-2 in the NEC) and a No.<br />

The Crusaders blocked a punt<br />

and regained possession on<br />

their opponent’s 45-yard-line.<br />

Woods continued to dominate<br />

in the air, finding Mike<br />

Zaimi in the end zone from<br />

eight yards out. The senior<br />

quarterback ended the first<br />

half completing five of his six<br />

passes for 71 yards and two<br />

touchdowns. After another<br />

successful PAT from Romans,<br />

Fenwick had a 14-0 lead.<br />

The night continued to get<br />

worse for Maynard as it mishandled<br />

the ensuing kick return<br />

with the Crusaders gaining<br />

possession in the red zone with<br />

48 seconds left in the opening<br />

quarter. This time, the Tigers’<br />

defense stopped Fenwick dead<br />

in its tracks and forced a turnover<br />

on downs with 11 minutes<br />

left in the second quarter.<br />

Maynard came up empy on<br />

the ensuing drive, as senior<br />

quarterback Connor Capone<br />

was picked off by Luke<br />

Connolly, and the Crusaders<br />

taking over on their opponent’s<br />

43-yard-line.<br />

With 7:56 left in the half,<br />

Woods unleashed a 40-yard<br />

bomb to senior Chris Faraca,<br />

who scampered into the end<br />

zone. Romans turned a mishandled<br />

snap into a two-point<br />

conversion, giving Fenwick a<br />

22-0 lead.<br />

The Tigers took the ensuing<br />

kickoff to their 30-yard-line and<br />

finally wore down Fenwick’s<br />

defense with a drive that lasted<br />

more than six minutes, with<br />

Maynard marching 70 yards<br />

down the field. Capone kept the<br />

drive with a four-yard touchdown<br />

pass to Patrick Andrews.<br />

Abraao Alencar converted the<br />

PAT to shorten the deficit to<br />

22-7 with two minutes left in<br />

the second quarter.<br />

Fenwick started its next drive<br />

on the 30-yard-line but quickly<br />

Bishop Fenwick’s Chris Faraca had one touchdown reception in a win over Maynard Friday<br />

night in the Division 5 playoffs.<br />

found the end zone with Faraca<br />

maneuvering his way through<br />

the Tigers defense for a 74-yard<br />

touchdown catch. Another successful<br />

PAT gave the Crusaders<br />

a 29-7 lead, which they took<br />

into halftime.<br />

While Maynard head football<br />

coach Nick Pileeki described<br />

his offense as ground and<br />

pound, the team did quite well<br />

through the air.<br />

“He (Capone) gets better<br />

every week,” said the coach.<br />

“He is learning to read coverages<br />

a little bit better, but he<br />

is putting the ball for the most<br />

part in the right place.”<br />

Douglass named NEC girls soccer Co-Coach of the Year<br />

23 seed in the Division 1 state<br />

tournament.<br />

Taking home NEC Player of<br />

the Year honors was Danvers<br />

senior Arianna Bezanson,<br />

who also won the award the<br />

last time it was given in 2019.<br />

Bezanson had a stellar season<br />

for the Dunn Division champion<br />

Falcons, scoring 20 goals<br />

and adding nine assists. She<br />

was also named the Moynihan<br />

Lumber Student-Athlete of the<br />

Month for September.<br />

Bezanson also had two teammates<br />

join her on the NEC<br />

All-Conference Team in senior<br />

Gabby Chisholm and sophomore<br />

Georgia Prouty.<br />

The rest of the NEC All-<br />

Conference Team was made up<br />

of Peabody senior Emma Bloom,<br />

Peabody senior McKayla<br />

Fisher, Swampscott senior<br />

Maddie Hudson, Swampscott<br />

sophomore Victoria Quagrello,<br />

Marblehead senior Ella Kramer,<br />

Masconomet senior Elena<br />

Lindonen, Masconomet junior<br />

Taylor Bovardi, Beverly<br />

It didn’t take long for Woods<br />

and the Crusaders offense to<br />

get going in the second half as<br />

the senior quarterback threw<br />

a 65-yard touchdown pass to<br />

Romans on the first play on<br />

the opening drive of the third<br />

quarter. The PAT from Romans<br />

was good and Bishop Fenwick<br />

had a 36-7 lead with more than<br />

11 minutes left in the third<br />

quarter.<br />

With the Crusaders having a<br />

sizable lead, Troy Irizarry got a<br />

heavy dose of carries. Romans<br />

polished off the drive with<br />

a touchdown reception and<br />

converted the PAT to give the<br />

senior Kayleigh Crowell and<br />

Gloucester senior Darcy Muller.<br />

The NEC All-Star Team was<br />

split between the two divisions,<br />

which were renamed the Dunn<br />

Division and Lynch Division<br />

earlier this year.<br />

The Dunn Division All-Stars<br />

included Emily McDonough and<br />

Samantha Simmons (Peabody);<br />

Sophie DiGrande and Lilian<br />

Gosselin (Swampscott); Reese<br />

Pszenny, Eliana Anderson and<br />

Emily Goddard (Danvers);<br />

Lauren Boughner and Kendall<br />

Crusaders a 43-7 lead with just<br />

over four minutes left in the<br />

quarter. Romans kept Fenwick<br />

scoring with a pick-six to give<br />

Bishop Fenwick a 49-7 lead.<br />

Maynard made the scoreline<br />

look a little better as Capone<br />

threw a 23-yard touchdown<br />

pass to Mateo Arellano with<br />

four minutes left in the game.<br />

Alencar converted the PAT to<br />

make it a 49-14 final.<br />

Bishop Fenwick (7-2) will<br />

take on No. 11 Hudson in the<br />

Division 5 quarterfinal round<br />

next Friday.<br />

Skulley (Masconomet); and<br />

Claire Brean (Beverly).<br />

On the other side, the<br />

Peabody sets<br />

records in big win<br />

over Wakefield<br />

FOOTBALL<br />

By Mike Alongi<br />

WAKEFIELD — The<br />

Peabody football team must<br />

have been harboring some<br />

anger after not making it into<br />

the MIAA state playoffs, and<br />

the Tanners took it out on<br />

Wakefield Friday night on the<br />

road with a 42-19 win over<br />

the Warriors in a non-playoff<br />

game.<br />

“It was really just a wellplayed<br />

game for us in all three<br />

phases,” said Peabody coach<br />

Mark Bettencourt. “Wakefield<br />

came out and really tried to<br />

stop the run against us, and that<br />

opened up a lot of opportunities<br />

in the passing game that we<br />

took advantage of.”<br />

It was a record-setting night<br />

on multiple fronts, as quarterback<br />

Shea Lynch continued<br />

possibly the best season in<br />

Peabody quarterback history<br />

by completing 22-of-26 passes<br />

for 373 yards and four touchdowns.<br />

Lynch has already set<br />

Tanner new records for passing<br />

yards and passing touchdowns<br />

in a single season.<br />

But all you really need to<br />

know is that Bettencourt sees<br />

the junior in the same light<br />

as Peabody greats like Doug<br />

Santos, Jake Doherty and Eric<br />

DeMayo in terms of his leadership,<br />

work ethic and sheer<br />

ability on the football field.<br />

“It’s not very often that you<br />

get a player of Shea’s caliber,”<br />

said Bettencourt. “He’s the<br />

hardest worker out there every<br />

day in practice, and he’s a true<br />

leader in every sense of the<br />

word. His work ethic is through<br />

the roof, he knows the offense<br />

like the back of his hand, and<br />

he’s really taken a huge step<br />

forward this year.”<br />

Lynch’s receivers benefitted<br />

big-time Friday night, with Eli<br />

Batista leading the way after<br />

notching 162 receiving yards<br />

and three touchdowns. He also<br />

added an interception on the<br />

defensive side -- his sixth of<br />

the season.<br />

Only a sophomore, Batista<br />

has exploded onto the scene for<br />

the Tanners by making an impact<br />

in all three phases of the<br />

game.<br />

“It’s kind of crazy that<br />

he’s only a sophomore,” said<br />

Bettencourt. “When we moved<br />

him to safety earlier this year,<br />

he really just found a home.<br />

Then when you add in his four<br />

or five touchdown receptions<br />

and his five or six interceptions,<br />

he’s truly been one of our<br />

most impactful players.”<br />

Senior Jovante Dailey added<br />

eight receptions for 131 yards,<br />

while junior Danny Barrett<br />

caught his program record-setting<br />

ninth touchdown reception<br />

of the season in the win. Senior<br />

linebacker Michael Perez also<br />

had a big game on the defensive<br />

side of the ball, while junior<br />

Colin Ridley returned a<br />

kick for a touchdown.<br />

Things couldn’t have gotten<br />

off to a better start for the<br />

Tanners, as Ridley took the<br />

opening kickoff 90 yards to the<br />

Peabody runners finish<br />

cross country teams put together<br />

great performances to<br />

close out the season, each finishing<br />

The Peabody girls finished in<br />

Kristina Cardello had 30 digs for Peabody in a win over Quincy in the Division 1 tournament<br />

Round of 32 last Thursday.<br />

Peabody outlasts Quincy in<br />

Division 1 Round of 32<br />

VOLLEYBALL PLAYOFFS<br />

By Mike Alongi<br />

PEABODY — In one of its<br />

most back-and-forth matches<br />

of the entire season, the No.<br />

15 Peabody volleyball team<br />

outlasted No. 19 Quincy by a<br />

score of 3-1 in the Division 1<br />

North tournament Round of 32<br />

Thursday evening at Peabody<br />

Veterans Memorial High<br />

School. The Tanners won by<br />

set scores of 25-21, 25-21, 22-<br />

25, 25-18.<br />

“It was a great match, and<br />

Quincy really played hard and<br />

pushed us the whole time,” said<br />

Peabody coach Lisa Keene,<br />

who was named NEC Coach<br />

of the Year earlier this week.<br />

“I’m just proud of the girls for<br />

how they continue to fight and<br />

how they really finished it off<br />

once they got the chance in that<br />

fourth set.”<br />

Isabel Bettencourt had a<br />

big game for the Tanners with<br />

13 kills and five aces, while<br />

Lauryn Mendonca notched a<br />

season-high six blocks. Sarah<br />

Broughton had 18 service<br />

points and six kills, while Abby<br />

Bettencourt had 26 assists and<br />

four kills. Kristina Cardello<br />

had a massive game in the back<br />

with 30 digs, while Maddie<br />

Castro had a season-high six<br />

kills.<br />

“Everyone played so well and<br />

played their role so perfectly it<br />

was a great team effort,” said<br />

Keene. “Lauren was pumped<br />

up to play in a game like this<br />

and she really did well at the<br />

net, Bo (Isabel) did a great job<br />

in all facets, Abby was a great<br />

facilitator and Krissy had a<br />

great game on the back line.”<br />

The Tanners got off to a slow<br />

start in the opening set, falling<br />

behind an inspired Quincy<br />

squad 10-4 in the opening minutes.<br />

But Peabody eventually<br />

was able to right the ship, and<br />

the Tanners rallied all the way<br />

back to tie the score at 14-14.<br />

Peabody took the lead there<br />

and never gave it up, surviving<br />

a late Quincy rally to win the<br />

set 25-21.<br />

Peabody flipped the script<br />

on Quincy in the second set,<br />

sprinting out to an early lead<br />

before stretching that lead to<br />

14-4. Although Quincy battled<br />

all the way back to get within<br />

three, the Tanners were able to<br />

hold onto the lead and coast to<br />

the 25-21 victory.<br />

The Presidents got back<br />

on track a bit in the third set,<br />

keeping Peabody off balance<br />

for the majority of the frame.<br />

Quincy eventually stretched the<br />

lead to 18-11, and despite a late<br />

Tanners rally the Presidents<br />

were able to take the 25-22 set<br />

win to keep the match alive.<br />

The majority of the fourth<br />

set was a back-and-forth affair,<br />

with nine ties and 10 lead<br />

changes throughout. But, with<br />

the score tied 16-16, Peabody<br />

went on a run at the perfect<br />

time and outscored Quincy<br />

9-2 to win the set and take the<br />

match.<br />

Peabody (16-4) now moves<br />

on to the Div. 1 Round of 16,<br />

where the Tanners will face<br />

off against either No. 3 North<br />

Andover or No. 30 Taunton at a<br />

date and time to be determined.<br />

“It’ll be a tough battle either<br />

way, but we face North<br />

Andover in the first game of the<br />

season and we’ve grown a lot<br />

since then,” said Keene. “I’m<br />

sure they’ve grown up a lot too<br />

and I’m sure it’s going to be a<br />

great game no matter who we<br />

go up against. We just need to<br />

play a game and continue to<br />

work together.”
