The skill of your opponents skyrockets. There’s a reason athletes start the most competitive high school sports when they’re young. There are rare cases, however, of student-athletes joining a sport for the first time in high school and excelling. An example of that is freshman Fiona Black.</p><p>Black plays forward for the young Fishermen squad and is exceeding expectations in both her debut season for Gloucester and her career. </p><p>In Gloucester’s first eight games, Black netted a team-leading 5 goals. The freshman also surpassed sophomore standout Olivia Madruga in points, now boosting nine total. </p><p>One of Black’s skills is her agility. The forward has improved her ball handling dramatically and she’s been a force in the offensive circle.</p><h2>Jaylen Severino – Football</h2><figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=1gS8Tx_0vjTaogm00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=1gS8Tx_0vjTaogm00" width="510" height="800" ><figcaption>Vincenzo Ciaramitaro</figcaption></figure><p>Captain Jaylen Severino serves alongside Cribbs as one of the captains for the Fishermen.</p><p>The junior plays wingback on offense and free safety on defense.</p><p>Severino is known for making big plays in big spots. This trait went in Gloucester’s favor in their last game against Somerville. Severino had 6 carries with 132 yards, including a 79 yard rushing touchdown.</p><p>Severino has been a leader in all aspects of the game and represented the Gloucester program</p></div></body>
