[edit] Football tradition
Cleo A. O'Donnell was football coach at Everett High School from 1909–1915. His teams won championships in five of the seven seasons that O'Donnell was the coach. O'Donnell became known for the stylish suits he wore on the sidelines at Everett and developed a reputation as "a demanding perfectionist." As the coach at Everett, O'Donnell compiled a record of 68-8-6, and through one stretch between 1913 and 1915 his team shut out all opponents in 27 consecutive games. In 13 games, O'Donnell's 1914 Everett team went 13–0 and outscored opponents 600 to 0. In the national championship of high school football, Everett, the best team in the East, was matched against Oak Park High School from Illinois, the best team in the West. Everett defeated Oak Park 80 to 0. The Boston Evening Transcript wrote at the time, "Since Cleo O'Donnell took charge of the Suburban League school's athletics, he has had remarkable success, but this year's team is his masterpiece." Seventy years later, Sports Illustrated published a feature story on the 1914 Everett team, declaring it possibly the greatest high school football team of all time.
Everett's football team is regarded as one of, if not the best program in the state of Massachusetts and New England and on a few occasions, in the country, year in and year out. Since 1972, the year the MIAA started recording "Super Bowl" championships, Everett has won 9 Division 1 State Championships (1997, 1999, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2006, 2007, 2010, and 2011) under legendary coach John DiBiaso. Everett has also been ranked in USA Today's Top 25 a number of times, including the 1914 team, which in many minds is considered the greatest high school football team of all time.
