THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, September 12, 2025 Page 19 FOOTBALL | FROM PAGE 15 Tornados jumped out to an early 20–0 lead in the first quarter. Malden senior Johnson Huynh was instrumental in building the early lead, scoring two touchdowns on punt returns, which is believed to be a single-game school record. The Tigers fought their way back into the game, cutting Malden’s lead to just seven points late in the fourth quarter. However, they were unable to complete the comeback. Coach Exilhomme is hoping his team strikes fast and then lets his defense go to work. “We have a lot of solid athletes on our team and some of them are experienced and some are basically new to the sport, but they have a lot of energy and they are willing to learn, and they have learned a lot.” Malden will be relying on the experience they do bring back, starting with sophomore sensation Jayden McGuffie, who set school single-game rushing and scoring records (342 yards, 6 touchdowns) and ran for over 1,300 yards as a freshman last BHRC | FROM PAGE 11 wellbeing of the roughly 15,000 Haitian TPS holders in Massachusetts and the families, patients and employers who rely on them. ---Attorney General Andrea Campbell supporting a challenge to the Trump Administration’s attempt to terminate Haiti’s TPS designation and strip legal immigration status from hundreds of thousands of Haitians living and working in the United States. “Whether we own or rent, everyone in Massachusetts should be able to afford a place to call home. But right now, there is no limit to how much rents can increase each year. Corporate real estate investors are taking advantage of this gap in our laws to buy up homes and double rents overnight, threatening the basic fabric of our neighborhoods. Massachusetts needs basic protections against excessive rent hikes to keep people in their homes, support working families and stabilize our communities. By coming together to win modern rent stabilization, we can keep Massachusetts home for all of us.” ---Noemi “Mimi” Ramos, Executive Director of New England Community Project supporting a possible 2026 ballot question asking voters if they approve of a proposal imposing rent control by curtailing rent increases to the cost of living with a 5 percent increase, with some exemptions. “Rent control is a flawed, harmful policy that stunts housing creation and increases overall housing costs: A horrifying thought given the hundreds of thousands of units our state must build to overcome the housing crisis. Our state’s focus needs to be on reducing barriers to housing creation so we can develop more homes across all price points, whether it be for young families looking to purchase their year. McGuffie, 5-10, 180 lbs., has added 15 pounds to his frame and, according to Coach Exilhomme, “[McGuffie’s] even faster.” McGuffie is forecast to be one of the most heavily recruited student-athletes on record at Malden High. “Every [college] in the region and beyond has seen Jayden’s film and they are requesting more as this season goes along,” the Malden coach said, noting McGuffie — as just a freshman — already received a scholarship offer from a Division 1 school, Syracuse (N.Y.) University. Malden will have a new starting quarterback for the first time since 2020, as four-year starter Aidan Brett has moved on to the college ranks, on the roster at Westfield State University Owl football this fall. Manning the controls on offense this season is senior newly appointed captain Billy Gavin, a 6-0, 175 slinger with a solid arm and quick feet, who starred this past spring season as an AllStar pitcher for Malden High’s 14-7 baseball team. Gavin was a backup last year to Brett — his first home, or retirees looking to downsize in the community they have known for decades … We will fight the proposed initiative every step of the way.” ---Greg Vasil, CEO of the Greater Boston Real Estate Board opposing a possible 2026 ballot question imposing rent control. HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK’S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature’s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been filed. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session. During the week of Sept. 1-5, the House met for a total of 26 minutes and the Senate met for a total of 43 minutes. Mon.

Coach Exilhomme likes what he sees so far. “[Gavin] has done a very good job so far. He has learned the offense and has also shown a lot of leadership, that’s why he has been named a captain. He is a very valuable part of our team now for his second year,” the coach said. Gavin’s top targets will be senior 6-1 split end and captain Manny Perez and sophomore 6-1 split end Nathan Schonton, who saw plenty of varsity time as a freshman last season. Another newcomer will also be a passing target this season: junior Josh Bly, who will line up at H-back.
