Page 12 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, February 17, 2023 Get updated COVID-19 Booster or Vaccination – and $75 gift card – during School Vacation Week Free, family-friendly vaccination clinics scheduled in Malden N ew COVID-19 vaccination clinics offering a $75 gift card incentive have been scheduled in communities across the state during school vacation week, providing a free, convenient and accessible way for adults and children to stay up to date on COVID vaccinations. As part of a special promotion, all Massachusetts residents ages 6 months and older who get vaccinated (first dose, second dose, or booster) at participating Get Boosted clinics will receive a $75 gift card, while supplies last. The Malden YMCA, 99 Dartmouth St., will hold clinics offering the gift card on Saturday, Feb. 18, and Saturday, Feb. 25, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. each day. Staying up to date on vaccines, including boosters, is the most effective way to prevent serious illness, hospitalization and death from COVID-19. While vaccine protection goes down over time, boosters keep you protected. Boosters also help keep you safe from serious COVID-19 even if you’ve already had it. No ID or health insurance is required. To find additional clinics that are offering the $75 gift cards, go to mass. gov/GetBoosted. The gift card offer is only available at clinics listed on the Get Boosted webpage, while supplies last. If you have questions or need help finding a clinic, you can call 211 (or 877-211-6277) and press 1.

Behind a weekend high of 30 from L. Guertin, the League’s leading scorer, and C. Mijar with 12, they were propelled to nine straight wins. The Green fought hard and rebounded well but fell short in our opening contest. Top Double D players for the Emerald were T. Melton (19) & C. Malave (12), who did most of their damage in the second half. Game 2 – Kings 30, Lakers 29 Welcome back, B. McMahon. Obviously missed but anyway – because of his literally last-second three-pointer, the Kings get back in the winner’s circle. Not much of a high-scoring affair but B. McMahon led the team with 9 and for the late show. The Lakers seemingly had this one locked in as a victory – were stunned and couldn’t believe what just happened. They had A. Mallah (14) leading the way, who, shockingly, was the only Laker to score in the whole first half. Sunday, February 12 Game 1 – Bullets 62, Lakers 28 Boys in Blue keep the motor going & in doing so they have officially clinched a spot in the Madness. Between consistent scoring & timely free throws (which helps win games), they have shown discipline throughout by following the (w)right game plan. L. Guertin, once again, led the way with 18; C. Mijar & L. Wright had a pair of 12s to help in the historic Victory. The Lakers were behind the 8 ball from tap in this one, as they had only four ballers on the court from tap to finish. R. Laughton dropped 10. They spaced out the scoring but it just wasn’t enough to overcome too many obW L stacles. Game 2 – Sixers 39, Kings 38 The Crimson got off the schneide with a Big Win, their first of the season, to close out the final game of the weekend. As the Kings started off real slow, they did eventually catch up and start matching their opponent. But thanks to a barrage of five threes from Sixer B. Messersmith, ending with 15 and 10 from N. Melvin, they got that important win and held off the Kings, who after an emotional win yesterday fell flat in the offense today. K. Laurent did have 14 in the loss. But needed extra help from someone, not in the building again? 2023 Malden Neighborhood Basketball League Team Bullets-C* 10 0 0 Celtics 6 3 3.5 *C = Playoff Spot This Week’s Games Sat., February 2 Sixers vs. Celtics Bullets vs. Kings Sunday, February 19 Lakers vs. Celtics Bullets vs. Sixers At the Ferryway School – corner of Ferry, Cross & Walnut Streets.
