Congratulations to Malakai Sumter for being HHS’s male athlete of the week. Malakai has been recognized for his teamwork and hardworking spirit. At the last football game against Downey, Malakai stood out by getting 2 interceptions helping out hughson by gaining possession of the ball, which lead them to score. Friend and teammate Daniel Sotel said, “he makes jokes and keeps the boys laughing when they feel down.” Friend and teammate Edwin Olivio says, ”Malakai is always a team player, he always steps up when we need him too and always gives it his all.” Malakai has been showing how he is an amazing athlete not only at Downey but against the Central Valley as well, where he was nominated player of the game. Malakai’s response is, “I think it’s pretty cool and would definitely want to get it again.“ Congratulations Malakai, we cannot wait to see where football takes you this year.
