Insider Info: Hamza Malim on Edina vs. Eastview
<strong><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">Hamza Malim </span></strong><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">(5'11, 170) is <em>Edina's </em>#1 WR and has been one of the most impressive receivers I have seen this season while covering prep football for <em>Northstar Football News.</em> His 39 catches, 623 yards, and four TD's in the 2019 regular season came on tough catches and well refined routes that made the wideout quite fun to watch in person. His <em>Edina </em>squad is coming off a Friday night 6A victory versus <em>Eastview </em>that needed a late 4th quarter touchdown and go-ahead extra point to seal the 20-19 victory, and <strong>Malim </strong>was kind enough to answer a few questions I had for the senior about the game and <em>Edina's </em>hopeful journey to the state finals. Check out what he said to say in this edition of "Insider Info" presented by <em>Northstar Football News</em>. </span>
<em><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">NFN: Describe to our readers the big win vs. Eastview last Friday and your performance as well.</span></em>
<strong><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">Malim</span></strong><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">: "First off, props to <em>Eastview </em>on a good season. They are a really talented team with a great running back (<em>Northstar's </em>featured <em>Lionel Suggs Jr.). </em>As a team I don't think we played to our standard, that was not us. A few key guys stepped up in big moments and made plays. That's the beauty of playoff football. It takes everyone to win."</span>
<em><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">NFN: How did you guys prepare for the Lightning the upcoming week of the game and how did it pay off Friday?</span></em>
<strong><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">Malim</span></strong><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">: "Our coaches did a great job helping us prepare for this game. It was on us to go out and play hard. Shout out to the defense for holding them to six points in the second half." </span>
<span><span style="font-family: times new roman, times, serif;"><i>NFN: What does it mean to you being a senior and playing Minnesota playoff football while representing Edina?</i></span></span>
<strong><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">Malim</span></strong><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">: "It means a lot to me and the other guys on the team. To have this opportunity is a blessing and not many people get to experience it. Having <em>Edina </em>across your chest is a big thing. You're not only representing yourself but you're also representing everyone that has come before you, so you need to make sure you're giving everything you got." </span>
<span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">Stay tuned for updates on <strong>Hamza Malim </strong>and his <em>Edina Hornet </em>teammates as they compete for a big school MN state championship this fall. </span>
