MUSINGS | FROM PAGE 7 my “insider knowledge” of Malden peppered with that Peter F. Levine sense of humor you’ve all come to know and love but going forward this wandering wordsmith promises to forgo anything that hints of politics. I have seen the light!! With that said, this amateur political pundit is gently climbing off his soapbox and easing back into his recliner (except to praise a man I have admired my whole life, Paul Condon — insert smiley face!). Until next week, same bat channel, same bat time. Now back to our regularly scheduled program. Postscript: Jayden McGuffie is carving out a legend on the gridiron for the Golden Tornadoes — a run so electrifying that, according to trusted Maldonian historians (Critics Corner at the 621?), we’ve never seen anything quite like it. His two-year body of work at Malden High is already the stuff of Friday night folklore: He City of Malden Community Preservation Committee Monthly Meeting & Public Hearing Wednesday, December 17, 2025, 6:00 PM CPC Monthly Meeting & Public Hearing Hybrid City Hall Room #105 (in-person), Live streamed via Teams (virtual) Members of the public who wish to attend remotely can do so using the link to the Teams webinar: Join the Meeting: https://bit.ly/4ajCeK8 Meeting ID: 226 746 631 369 80 Passcode: xe3dw3kW If you would like to request a reasonable accommodation, please contact Maria Luise, ADA Compliance Coordinator at mluise@cityofmalden.org or 781-397-7000, Ext 2005 Agenda 1.

Stack that onto his “career” totals and you get pure awe: 3,416 yards on 377 carries — an outrageous 9.06 yards every time he touches the ball — plus 40 touchdowns and 24 two-point conversions. Video-game numbers, but in real life right here on the Jack Macdonald Stadium turf. If you’re even a casual football fan, do yourself a favor next fall: get to an MHS game. We’re witnessing a once-in-a-lifetime player wearing our colors. Let’s make Jayden, Coach Witche, and the entire Golden Tornadoes program feel the roar of Malden behind them next season. —Peter is a longtime Malden resident and a regular contributor to The Malden Advocate.
