It was another banner year for our City’s school athletic teams but none more than the Malden High School Varsity Softball team. Their stunning record of 24-1 included five straight playoff wins and the Eastern Mass Championship.
I could not be prouder of the team as they represented everything we want in our next generation of leaders. These young women worked hard, dedicated themselves, and spent countless hours when they weren't on the field helping out on community projects.
Although they lost the state championship by a score of 1-0 in nine nail-biting innings, there is no doubt that these players have earned the admiration of our entire City and will stand as role models for all those who follow in their footsteps. I also congratulate and applaud Coach John Furlong and Assistant Coach Rosalie Esquivel Jones, and the rest of the staff for their commitment to the team and to the community.
Again, congratulations on an unbelievable season and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for next year! In the meantime, please click on the following link to view pictures from last week’s State Finals game - http://ow.ly/bLciQ
