Star Everett High Football Player Stabbed After Winning Game


A star Everett High School running back, coming off scoring the winning touchdown in the game of his life on Halloween, was stabbed in the back and hand on Broadway later that night after coming to the aid of someone else who was being attacked, school officials said.

Marvens Fedna, a 
16-year-old junior, was stabbed about 12:30 a.m. yesterday and rushed to Massachusetts General Hospital, where he underwent surgery yesterday. His coach, John DiBiaso, told the Herald last night the attack occurred when Fedna attempted to help someone else who was being attacked by a group.

“He was coming to the aid of another person,” DiBiaso said. “Somebody was being attacked and he happened to be going by, he happened to be in the area or near there, and when he tried to help the person, (the attackers) turned on him. ... We’re just all praying and optimistic that he’ll make a full 
recovery.”

Superintendent Frederick Foresteire said Fedna was walking home from a party with a group of teammates at the time, and that no other students were hurt. The Middlesex District Attorney’s office confirmed the incident and reported the boy was in critical condition, but authorities released no other details of the incident yesterday.

Fedna rushed for 124 yards and a touchdown on 27 carries in his team’s 12-7 victory over St. John’s Prep on Saturday afternoon, a stunning and rousing upset over their top-seeded 
opponent.

“He was the show, if you will,” Foresteire said of Fedna. “A beautiful day, great crowd, he had an outstanding game. And then this, Halloween night, something like this happens ... Now it’s just a recovery, getting stronger and better.”
