L Eagles fall to Greater Lowell Advocate Staff Report ate last week, the girls’ basketball squad at Mystic Valley Regional Charter School headed on the road for the fi rst time this season to face off against Greater Lowell. Still working on many things early in the year and developing an identity, the Eagles were in a low scoring, scrappy game until the fourth quarter when Greater Lowell opened up their lead to win 42-22. Mystic Valley came out in the fi rst quarter and took control, showing three different defenses. They finished the quarter at 6-4 with senior Captain Mairead St. Clair scoring six (16 points, 12 rebounds). It was much the same in the second quarter: Both teams struggled to find offensive SWIMMERS| FROM PAGE 9 doso scored a first-place finish in the 500 freestyle; fellow eighth-grader Dylan Phan came in second in the 100 freestyle. Nayiga touched in second place again in the 100 breaststroke, going a lifetime best and only .05 off her first-ever sectional cut. “It is always fun to travel down to Blue Hills and swim fast in a different atmosphere. The coaches made sure to challenge all of our swimmers to be ready rhythm. The Gryphons took the lead late in the half, but they were brought closer by sophomore Breana Nansamba hitting a long two-pointer to make it 14-12. The second half started slowly for both teams. The Gryphons found daylight in the fourth quarter, hitting three three-pointers and multiple jump shots to take advantage of the zone defense Mystic Valley was locked into. The result was a 42-22 defeat for the Eagles. “It is still early in the season and we’re trying different things in game situations. Many of the bench were given an opportunity to see who can step up for us when others are struggling,” Head Coach Jonathan Currier said. “We plan to bounce back against Northeast and in the coming weeks.” from the very fi rst race especially when you travel on a bus for 90 minutes. I cannot be more excited for the depth on this young team. From our seniors to eighth-graders they are all dialed in to contributing and supporting each other. You couldn’t ask for a better start to the season. Having this many state/sectional cuts this early in the season is unprecedented for the program and is a testament to the hard work these young men and women are putting in every day,” Coach DiGiacomo said. City warns of potential for elevated lead levels in drinking water Special to Th e Advocate very six months, the City of Malden works with the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority (MWRA) to test water for lead levels at 15 sites that are likely to have lead components. For the test period ending December 31, 2021, two of the sites did result in elevated levels of lead, which put Malden in the 87th percentile rather than the acceptable 90 percent. Lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Please visit www.cityofmalden.org/ lead for important information about lead in drinking water, the health eff ects of lead and what can be done to reduce or eliminate lead in drinking water. How to reduce lead exposure: • If your water has gone unused for more than six hours, run any faucet used for drinking or cooking until it is consistently cold (usually about 30 seconds to two minutes) before drinking or cooking with it. The fl ushing of your tap ensures the best quality water. • Use only cold water for drinking, cooking and making baby formula/food for infants. Please note that boiling water does not eliminate lead. If there is lead in your water, boiling it will increase lead levels. Other steps that can be taken include installing water fi lters that meet the standard for eff ective lead reduction, identifying if your plumbing fi xtures or water piping contain lead and replacing them and having your water tested. Replace your private lead water service pipe with a new copper service pipe. The Engineering Department will provide free testing of water for any homeowner or tenant as well as an inspection of water service to determine material.
