During the offseason, Marblehead boys soccer coach Elmer Magaña said the one opponent he always looks forward to is Gloucester. Magaña’s brother-in-law, Armando Marnoto, is the head coach with the Fishermen and this year, it was Magaña who earned bragging rights with a 1-0 win. Miles Fontela-Tuttle’s strike was the difference, while goalie Rory Zampese recorded his fifth shutout.
