A contingent of Malden High School swimmers competed in the MIAA North Sectional Girls Swimming Championship this past Saturday at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI). They included Tiffany Pham (senior), Hailey Tran (junior), Joslyn Nguyen (junior), Danielle Harrington (sophomore), Ian Ian Ho (freshman) and Sophie Tran (8th-grader). They have also qualified for the MIAA State Girls Swimming Championship, which is on Saturday, Feb. 17.
Golden Tornados Girls Basketball En Fuego!
The Malden High Girls Basketball Team continues to soar toward the MIAA Division 1 Girls State Basketball Tournament with three straight wins and four-out-of-five overall, to improve to 13-6 overall, its best record in decades. Malden High and Head Coach Scott Marino had a chance to finish with win #14 on the road at Arlington last night (after Advocate press time).
Malden topped Salem (Mass.) High at home on Senior Night Monday this week, 41-21, in its latest win. Tori Gammon led all scorers with 15 points and Amanda Ebenezer had 11 points and 11 rebounds. Malden also got great contributions from junior Maddy Cook and Ina Tolete and Kim Trompnas. Senior captain Angie Colon had 9 points and 6 assists.
In the other two wins in the streak, Malden topped Lynn English on the road, 59-47, on February 8 and Salem on the road on February 5.
Malden boys top Belchertown in OT, fall to Woburn at buzzer
The Malden High Boys Basketball Team was in control throughout, but lost the lead in the final minute for the first time all day when they hit a pair of free throws to go up, 58-57, with 44 seconds to play. Malden tried its last attempt when the Tornados got the ball back with 6.8 seconds left, but sophomore Ethan Phejarasai’s shot at the buzzer bounced off the rim, and Woburn ended a 12-game loss streak with the 58-57 win.
Malden fell to 7-13 with the loss, this coming off an exciting, 63-61 win in overtime on the road at Belchertown High in an endowment game Saturday. Junior Earl Fevrier scored a career-high 19 points and had 12 rebounds in the win. Junior guard Jode Ferreira – playing his first game of the season after being out all year rehabbing a broken hand in Game 2 of the season – also had a strong game with 12 points.
Malden concludes its season tonight on the road at Melrose with a 7:00 p.m. start.
