As the winter season returns, the Girls’ Basketball Team has been ready to make noise back on Malden High’s court. They have prepared to ensure they not only dominate the court but also States. 

In their first game, they proved their dominance with a stunning score of 52-19 against Chelsea’s Red Devils on December 11th, 2024.

In the first quarter, Captain Kimberly Tropnas provided remarkable highlights. Tropnas scored an impressive three-pointer that set the tone for the game, which bolstered Malden’s strong start. There was also a memorable display of defense from Malden that prevented their opponents from keeping up.

Still, some moments within the game demonstrated room for improvement. “Our defense was good but we missed a lot of open layups so we have to work on finishing laying up and not ball hogging and getting it to other quarters,” said Tropnas.

They kept a steady higher score into halftime. The second quarter ended 26-2 in favor of Malden. This led to high energy from the crowd as it was the first game. They made sure to keep constant motivation to win throughout the whole game. “We held our composure, we had a goal and we succeeded in that goal by working together as a team,” noted junior Olivia Rodrigues. 

They made a big jump from the second quarter, from 26 to 42, almost doubling the score. They kept their heads in the game and did not let Chelsea get anywhere close to the score. The girls knew they wanted to win this game with a remarkable score and did just that.

Their last quarter sealed the win and they kept up a stable pace.
