Girls Soccer

The St. Clement Girls Soccer team improved their overall record to 3-6 by shocking Catholic Central League rival Pope John High School 4 to 1. Sophomore standout Taisha Dupree continued her impressive start to the season scoring two goals. Senior captains Jessie Jepson (Somerville) and Maria Martinez (Medford) each scored a goal as well to pace the anchors. Next up for the girls was Lynn Technical High School. This game was a hard fought game by both teams. Sophomore goalie Krystal Coccimiglio made some phenomenal saves to record yet another shutout. But Krystal would not have been able to do this without the help of sophomore sweeper Amanda Andre (Medford) who was able to hold off almost all of Lynn Techs offensive attacks with a stellar defensive performance. Sophomore Taisha Dupree (Everett) scored the lone goal for the anchors. Unfortunately the Lady Anchors ran into a tough Innovation Charter School to end the week. But the girls are looking to keep improving as they have every week so far this season under the tutelage of veteran coach Kevin Conlin.

Somerville firefighters were kept busy over the weekend with two fires on lower Broadway. On Saturday morning at 5:53 a.m. , September 29, fire broke out in a second floor apartment at 16 Broadway above the Mount Vernon Restaurant. The fire was confined to apartment #6 and activated the buildings sprinkler system. The fire appears to have originated in a waste basket and spread to a wall and cabinets. Sprinklers controlled the fire and arriving firefighters completed the extinguishment which required opening up a wall to check for fire spread. The  occupant of the apartment was not at home at the time of the fire. The fire resulted in damage estimated to be in the area of $15,000. The cause of the fire is believed to be careless disposal of smoking materials. Firefighters cleared the scene by 7:25 a.m.

Here is the third installment of places that no longer exist. I didn’t plan on it, but when I did the Woodbridge and Venice stories I also thought of the old Stephen James House. I tossed it out there on the social network, and reeled in some juicy stories about the old function hall/lounge/bowling alley. The place was on Davenport St. near the Somerville Cambridge line. Many, many Somerville people frequented it during its run. Davenport is the street behind Star Market/Shaws in Porter Square. I personally played in the lounge for a while with one of my bands. You could hear some pretty good country western music there too. The lounge was known for drawing divorced women and I can tell you there were always lots of well-dressed ladies there. The building is gone and there are apartments and condos there now.
