Second year head coach Theluxon Pierre and the Crimson Tide waited all year for the chance at a rematch with Central Catholic, and after easily taking down Acton-Boxborough 47-6 in the opening round of the MIAA playoffs, they’ve set themselves up for the semifinal showdown they’ve been waiting for.

The collision course between Central Catholic (7-1) and Everett (7-1) will take place at Lawrence Stadium Saturday at 12PM in what will be the fifth playoff meeting between the two sides over the last six years. In that span, Everett’s come out on top four times.

But CC’s lone triumph, on a game-winning field goal in the waning seconds of last year’s 23-20 playoff victory, snapped Everett’s two-year run as state champion and ended the inaugural season for head coach Theluxon Pierre, who was undefeated up to that point.

Their crash Saturday promises to make a real bang, too.

We were all shocked back in September when the Crimson Tide faltered to open the season, falling flat in a scary 42-12 loss, the teams first season-opening defeat in over two decades.

Since then, the Everett powerhouse we all have become accustomed to seeing on the gridiron has risen up once again as the team finds itself on a 6-game win streak (including Friday’s 50-7 pounding of Somerville) heading into the postseason.

On November 1, the MIAA Division 1 playoffs are set to start, and the Crimson Tide (6-1) are slated to be either the 3rd or 4th seed, which should pin them against Methuen or Acton-Boxborough.

The MIAA will release official tournament pairings and game information on Sunday (10/27). And Should the Tide land in their projected seeding, they will begin the postseason at Veterans Memorial Stadium.

Still worried or wondering if the Tide are ready for a deep playoff run?

I wouldn’t be.

The Crimson Tide are rolling at the right time.

The Tide(5-1) aced their last two wins, over winless Malden and Medford, giving up just 6 points combined.

Things shouldn’t get much tougher when the 1-5 Somerville Highlanders come to town this week.
