By The Advocate he Revere High School Football Patriots started their season in the worst way possible, with losses on the scoreboard. But sometimes being the underdog with nothing to lose has its advantages, especially when you bring in some young talent with a “never-say-die� attitude. The Football Pats proved they belong in the tourney last Friday night when they walked tall into North Reading for the Division 4 quarterfinal against the Hornets and walked out the victors in a 27-20 win to earn a secondround run against number 2 seed Gloucester on Friday.

But the Hornets fought back, capitalizing on Revere’s mistakes for a TD to cut the lead to 2013 to end the third quarter. Again, Revere’s defense came through as co-Capt.
