THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, September 17, 2021 Page 17 Malden High football opener this week versus Whittier Tech Tornado squad kicked off season last night; team led by mix of veterans and newcomers By Justin McAllister A good mix of veterans and newcomers are leading the Malden High football squad this season, and fi rst-year Head Coach Witche Exilhomme likes what he sees. “We are ready to go…” Coach Exilhomme said Thursday, just hours before last night’s season kickoff . Malden High hosted nonleaguer Whittier Tech of Haverhill last night at Macdonald Stadium. Results of the game were not available at press time.

Seniors on the Malden team this season include linebacker/running back Mackenley Anasthal, Jevonte Augustin, Sean Bartholomew, Eliezer Beato, Jeremiah Dessources, Ethan Heon, Josue Irizarry, Ronald Juarez, Lyden Lewis, Paccini Louis, Nik McGuffi e, Nelson Monosiet, Worldly Raphael, Jordan Rodriguez, Oswaldo Rodriguez, Trae Teixeira and Gavin West.
