Page 16 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, January 5, 2024 Malden High basketball team falls to Lynn Classical in tight one, 37-33 Coach Marino’s Golden Tornados come into New Year at 3-2 overall with wins over Everett and Chelsea By Steve Freker I f one more shot dropped for Malden... or one shot did not fall for its opponent, it could have meant an entirely different outcome. But Lynn Classical made them when they counted the most down the stretch, and a back-and-forth game ended up in the visitors’ win column of a 37-33 final score at Malden’s Finn Gym. Malden and Lynn Classical traded the lead throughout the game, and Malden led for most of the third quarter before the visiting Rams pulled away and kept the lead for good.
