Football Fall All-Star

Malden High’s two fall all-stars for football were seniors Jerry Mervil and Jamari Youman. Coach Stephen Freker stated that Mervil and Youman were “[their] two top players” and that it was great to see them rewarded for their great season. Mervin and Youman were both transfer students to Malden High School. In the fall of 2018, Mervil transferred to Malden High from Malden Catholic. Youman arrived over the summer to Malden from Florida. This was Mervil’s second all-league recognition in his two years on the team.  Last year, he was named the First Team All-Conference in the Northeast Conference. Freker believes that both Mervil and Youman were very deserving of this award stating that each game “they helped give [the team] a chance to win with their ability and performances.” Youman was fourth in the state with 15 touchdowns and 95 total points scored. He had ten touchdown pass receptions which was third statewide. Mervil was one of the top players in the GBL with great talent on both offense and defense. Both Mervil and Youman battled injuries during the season, yet both persevered  and saved their best talents for the end of the season. Freker stated that Mervil and Youman “are excellent school citizens and care about their teammate.” The coaches are happy that they were able to finish the season with two wins and that these two players, Mervil and Youman, played their best games on Thanksgiving.
