Suicide Awareness Walk

The Suicide Awareness Walk was held last week at Malad High School in conjunction with National Suicide Prevention Month. The walk, officially for “Awareness, Prevention, and Remembrance” is held across the country during the month of September to remind communities that suicide is an issue that can and does affect many lives regardless of location. The event included a number of tables with information and resources, a series of presentations, and a planned walk along a pathway of signs set up to remember those who had died by suicide. Due to the adverse weather of the night, the walk itself was held inside the building, though many people chose to brave the elements and walk the perimeter of the high school to read the names.

Sponsors for the event included the Oneida Crisis Center, Nell J Redfield Memorial Hospital, Labyrinth Assessment and Behavioral Services, the Troy Estep Family, The MHS Counseling department, Southeastern Idaho Public Health, and Summit Creek Counseling.

Each of the sponsoring organizations had tables set up in the lobby area, and representatives on hand to explain the services they offered.

The Oneida Crisis Cen-

ter set up a bridge inside the lobby with the following banner: “There are too many people, alone and isolated in their pain, who need to cross the bridge to communication. To the person in trouble, the message is TRUST, SHARE, TALK. To their families and friends, it is REACH OUT, LISTEN, CARE. Somebody must cross the bridge first.” As the Crisis Center’s Melena Jimenez explained, “This is all

4-H Awards dinner recognizes youth accomplishments

In the past, 4-H has given out awards during the course of the Fair, which is often a hectic and busy time for everyone involved. This year, they elected to present awards to 4-H participants in the more relaxed setting of a dinner, allowing the leaders to congratulate their members and speak about their experiences.

A taco bar was set up to feed the more than a hundred guests who turned out for the event, with food provided by Thomas Market and the local food bank.

“Thanks everyone for coming— this is an amazing tournout! We did not expect nearly this many people, and the meat is gone, the tortillas are gone, so I’m sorry that there are no seconds. And we’ll plan a little bit better next year.”

For the first half of the evening’s program, each club’s leader presented awards to their club members, recognizing them for their achievements and special contributions over the course of the season.

The clubs are led by volunteers, who devote their time, experience, and care to make sure that the participants have the support and knowledge they need to complete their 4-H projects and compete in events.

The Woolly Wranglers, headed by Alaina Schrenk, gave out a number of awards recognizing improvement over the year, willingness to help out

Writers strike potentially comes to an end

A preliminary agreement has been reached that would bring the Writers Guild of America strike to an end after nearly 150 days. Final language and details of the agreement have not been made public yet, but the major issues underlying the strike were protections against AI writing in Hollywood projects, and increased revenue sharing related to streaming services.

The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers is also dealing with a strike by the acting equivalent of the WGA, the Screen Actors Guild, on many of the same issues. That strike will have to be resolved separately, although the terms of both agreements are likely to be similar.

Dolphins put up 70 points on Broncos

On Sunday, the Miami Dolphins defeated the beleaguered Denver Broncos 70-20 in the second highest point total recorded in the modern NFL (Washington scored 72 against the NY Giants in 1966). While there was a clear chance to break the record on a 4th and 13 33 yard field goal, Coach Mike McDaniel decided that he did not want to chase points and had his team take a knee to end the game. Even so, several single game records were recorded, including the game’s status as the only one on the books to include both 5 rushing and 5 passing touchdowns. The 3-0 Dolphins are already favored in their division, and will meet up with the Buffalo Bills (2-1) this week to see if their streak continues.

Harvest Festival Contests

As the Fall well and truly settles into the valley, it’s time to start planning for some of the seasonal highlights.

Once again, Samaria will be host to a Harvest Festival, with this year’s event running on two weekends, October 13 and 14, and then October 20 and 21. Daily admission will be $6 for individuals or $20 for families, though some events will be free. This year’s Heritage Harvest Festival will include several fun contests, in which everyone is encouraged to participate.

You can start by creating an entry into the pumpkin walk. The ultimate hope is to create as large and impressive a pumpkin walk as those in nearby communities. While something the scale of Cache Valley’s pumpkin walk might be a few years down the road, the more participation the better! If you enter you will receive $5 off the gate, on a single or family pass. The winner of the pumpkin walk will be awarded a $100 cash prize.

But what if pumpkins are not your thing?

Try creating a scarecrow. Scarecrow submission will also get you a discount on your gate admission. Scarecrows will be on display throughout Heritage Square. The winner of the Scarecrow competition will get a $25 cash prize. If you would like to submit an entry for the pumpkin walk or scarecrow competition, or for more information, please text or call Travis Whipple at (208) 9185051 or Donna Whipple at (208) 918-5051.

Do you like to bake?

Consider entering the pie baking contest. Pies must be brought to Mary’s Kitchen at Heritage Square by 10 a.m. on Saturday October 14th. Judging will begin at noon. After judging is complete, slices of the pies will be sold throughout the day (while supplies last) for $2 a slice. There will be a $100 cash prize for first place pie and $50 cash prize for second place pie. On Saturday October 21, the baking contest will be for the best sweet rolls. Bring

a tray of your best sweet rolls to Mary’s Kitchen by 10 a.m. on October 21 for a chance to win $100 for first place and $50 for second place. Come try the best sweet rolls in town for only $2 each. All proceeds will be used to pay for the cash prizes with the remainder going to upkeep of Heritage Square. Each day of the Festival will include a costume contest. Come in costume, get $1 off your gate admission fee and a chance to win a prize for the Best Costume of the

Day. There will be many other games and contests happening over the two weekend festival, including, but not limited to, bobbing for apples, three-legged race, tug of war, donuts on a string, cackling contest, pie eating contest, talent show and more.

If you are interested in entering the talent show contact NeCole Tracy at (801) 513-0961. If you are interested in being a vendor at the festival contact Marlo Balmanno at marlo@

American Legion Building nominated to the National Register of Historic Places

On Saturday, Septem-

ber 23, 2023, the Idaho Historic Sites Review Board unanimously approved the nomination of Malad’s American Legion Building of Post 65 to the National Register of Historic Places. Jean Thomas, Chair of the Oneida County Historic Preservation Committee, and Kirk Huffaker, the consultant who prepared the nomination, attended the meeting via Zoom as it was held in Coeur d’ Alene.

The Board also approved the Deary Garage in Latah County, the Melba Odd Fellows Hall in Canyon County, and the St. John Lutheran Church in Idaho Falls. The nominations now go to the federal office under

the National Park Service that oversees the National Register. Word should be heard in the next 90 days on whether or not the federal office approves the nomination.

Oneida County sites already listed on the National Register of Historic Places include the Evans Co-op (now Malad Co-op), the Presbyterian Church, the Malad 2nd Ward Tabernacle of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (no longer designated as a tabernacle), the Jedd Jones house on North Main, the D.L. Evans bungalow on North Main, the Oneida County Courthouse, and the Samaria Historic District. Except for the Courthouse, all sites were listed on the National

Register in 1979. The Courthouse was listed in 1987.

The American Legion Building was constructed from 1930-1935 by architect Moroni Charles Woods from Ogden, Utah. The style is officially described as “Classical Revival” and was built with the aid of Legion members and the community at large. Huffaker explained in the submission documents for the nomination that the American Legion Malad Post 65 is “locally significant in the area of Social History for its daily use for Legionnaires to serve veterans in programs under their four pillars: Veterans Affairs and Rehabilitation, National Security, Americanism, and Children and Youth.” Huffaker pointed to the large number of uses and activities that have helped solidify the community beyond the Legion, including sports, community events, dances, and musical performances.

With regard to its architectural significance, he wrote that “over more than 88 years, the Post has exhibited a strong stylistic presence on Malad’s Main Street… Today it is the only high style Classical Revival building in Oneida County.” Huffaker quoted from a 1919 biography of architect Moroni Woods stating that “in his plans, he combines beauty, utility, and convenience, his structures constituting an element of worth in the upbuilding and adornment of the district in which he operates.” Special attention is called to the West façade, which includes “six fullheight concrete pilasters with Corinthian capitals; [and a] pedimented gable

adorned with a cornice of dentils.”

Though the building has seen modifications to the interior, those have been determined to take place within the original floorplan. The basement was completed in 1970, with minor renomvation in 1977. Insulation was added to the underside of the barrel-vaulted ceiling in 1985.

In sum, Huffaker concluded “the property has excellent integrity in the qualities of location, setting, design, workmanship, materials, feeling and association with the Classical Revival, and work of architect Moroni Charles Woods. It remains as one of the significant landmarks of Malad City, Oneida County, and southeastern Idaho.

As required by the Historic Sites Review Board, a public meeting was held at the American Legion Building on Wednesday, September 20, at which the attendees could ask questions and discuss the National Register process. Chair Jean Thomas noted that the reasons for a building to be named to the National Register are

1) to recognize the historic significance of local properties and to allow local residents, including new residents, to understand the unique history of their hometown, 2) to preserve buildings of historic importance, and

3) to qualify more easily for grant funding. “Having this building named to the Historic Registry is a big deal,” she said. “Malad is changing, and we need to get this out there so people can learn the histories of these old buildings.”

The history of the building and its many uses by the American Le-

gion, Legion Auxiliary, and War Mothers were discussed. Those in attendance also reminisced about the generosity of the Legion in allowing everything from boxing matches and basketball games to Christmas bazaars and wedding receptions to teen dances and class reunions to be held in the building. Gene Caldwell specifically recalled never having won any of the amateur boxing matches held in the building, though he did remember having a good time trying. “This is such an important place,” Kay Caldwell said. “It’s home to our veterans.”

Dr. Thomas also dispelled some of the rumors that had circulated about the nomination, most notably that the ownership of the building would transfer to the federal government. Having a building on the National Register of Historic Places does NOT transfer ownership to the federal government nor allow the federal government to dictate the use of the building. Using examples

of local buildings already on the Register, she said that ownership does not transfer but that the building could change ownership if the current owners desired, that repairs and improvements could be made to the building, and that the owners of the building would continue to determine how the building would be used and by whom. In other words, a Historic designation is something with only positive benefits to a building and a location.

After the public meeting, the members of the Oneida County Historic Preservation Committee met in another room, and the vote was taken in regard to forwarding the nomination to the Idaho Historic Sites Review Board. The vote was unanimous in the affirmative. Members of the OCHPC are Jean Thomas, Chair, D.L. Evans, Dotty Evanson, J.D. Thomas, Larry Thomas, and Luke Waldron with Bill Lewis as liaison with the Oneida County Commission.

Last year’s Heritage Harvest Festival brought in people from all around the region.

The pie eating contest is set for a return to this year’s Festival.

As the application stated, the Legion building is a strong stylistic center of community life on Main Street.

Linda Sullivan and Theresa Tubbs

The September “Employees of the Month” for Oneida School District are Linda Sullivan and Teresa Tubbs, who work in Human Relations for the Idaho Home Learning Academy (IHLA). Linda and Teresa were honored at the September 19, 2023, meeting of the Oneida School Board.

Dr. Terri Sorensen, Executive Director of IHLA, said that Linda and Teresa had worked very hard all summer as they checked teaching credentials and certification and prepared contracts for over 160 new part-time IHLA teachers as well as working with the other 275 part-time IHLA teachers on contract and insurance procedures.

In recognition of their honor, Superintendent Jon Abrams presented Linda and Teresa with pins attached to the “Starfish” poem, cou-

Suicide Awareness Walk

about communication. Communication is the first step to making things better, and that bridge is so important. But someone does have to take the first step to make it happen.” At the other end of the bridge, the Crisis Center handed out items related to communication—phone cases, chargers, screen protectors and other things representative of reaching out.

The event program inside the MHS gym was introduced by Tyson Daniels, Director of Social Services at Nell J Redfield Memorial Hospital, and included remarks from ISU doctoral student Brandi Moss and Hospital Director John Williams.

Brandi Moss is a student in Idaho State University’s Family Nurse Practitioner Program. As part of Moss’s doctoral degree, she will be teaching classes in “QPR,” a strategy for aiding in suicide prevention. “I’m here because I’m working on a project teaching suicide prevention skills here in the community,” Moss said. “I wanted to start with a story about suicide and how it can sometimes be averted with a simple intervention. The Golden Gate bridge has a very sad history with suicide,” she began.

Moss went on to relate the September, 2000 story of Kevin Hines, who had decided to kill himself by jumping off the bridge as so many others had done before him. However, he told himself that if even one person “engaged with him or asked him if he were okay, he wouldn’t carry through with it.” He took the city bus, crying. Though many people looked at him, no one interacted with him. He got to the bridge and walked back and forth , continuing to cry, but no one stopped to talk to him. Eventually, he jumped. “He explained that as soon as he jumped he regretted his decision, and worked furiously to land feet first and sur-

vive. He recalls feeling something repeatedly bump into him, which he thought must be a shark. It turned out to be a sea lion, which stayed with him until he was able to get to safety. Even the intervention of the sea lion was enough to convince him that he was cared for and important.”

While some of those elements were more dramatic than many people’s experience, Moss explained that research of suicide survivors showed that many of them were waiting for anyone to reach out to them. “Suicide,” Moss continued, “is life threatening, but is preventable in most cases. I have worked in health care with patients struggling with thoughts of suicide, and have seen the pain and hopelessness that they are handling. As part of my Nurse Practitioner program, I was tasked with coming up with a plan to improve the health care process, and through some very difficult and heart-breaking experiences, I realized we need more help preventing suicide.”

Moss’s solution was to plan a series of courses in QPR strategies for those in need of suicide intervention.

QPR stands for “Question, Persuade, Refer” and explains a series of steps that can be applied to provide emergency aid to those in crisis, in much the same way CPR can be used to mitigate immediate medical threats. QPR is designed to prevent a person from harming themselves before they can reach the professional help necessary for their situation.

“This course is not going to teach you to prevent suicidal thoughts and depression, just like CPR won’t teach you to cure heart attacks. It will teach you how to become a bridge to keep someone alive long enough to get to the help they need.”

She related a story of the “Hold on, Wait!” man in Japan. A retired police officer, he patrols a cliffside which, like the Golden Gate Bridge,

is a location known for its frequency of suicide attempts. His only training is a desire to prevent death as much as possible. “What I am trying to create here,” Moss said, “is a league of ‘Hold on, wait!’ people who can save lives with their simple presence and caring, because together we are stronger.”

She will be holding courses to train those interested in the application of QPR principles during the months of October and November. The courses will be held at the Event Center on September 29 at 5:00 p.m., the Hospital on Thursday, October 5 at 11:00 a.m. and on Wednesday, October 18 at 1:00 p.m., at the Event Center on Friday, November 10 at 5:00 p.m. and once more at the Hospital on Saturday, November 18 at 11:00 a.m. Questions about the schedule or courses can be sent to maladlifesavers@ gmail.com. The training sessions are about ninety minutes.

John Williams spoke to the crowd about two new facilities which have opened up in the region. A year ago, the state government rearranged funding within the health field to create a Rise Up! Initiative. Partly as a result of this initiative, a new facility in Pocatello has opened which provides assessment services to families. The second program is a home in Idaho Falls. Both facilities allow for youth to find a temporary refuge from potentially turbulent environments while they deal with underly-

ing issues that can lead to suicidal ideation.

Williams explained that in his early college days he worked at an in-patient at-risk youth center, which is the experience that brought him into health care. While he has not had a chance to personally spend a lot of time with either of the programs or facilities yet, he expressed his belief that the work they were doing was very necessary and important. He encouraged those in attendance to pursue information on the Rise Up program as another resource to bring to bear on the issue of suicide.

Tyson Daniels, director of the hospital’s Social Service department then addressed the crowd. He began by asking the audience to think about whether they had had the experience of being on the receiving end of negative comments that made them feel bad. He then asked people to think about the opposite—whether they had had the experience of meeting someone who made them feel good, and valuable. He labeled those experiences a “good voice, and a bad voice.”

Daniels recounted an experience where he had run into someone he recognized from high school. In the course of speaking with her, it turned out that she felt he had been mean to her in high school, and she

did not wish to talk to him. “It really took me aback. I didn’t remember ever singling this person out or meaning to make them feel bad. However, we sometimes do make mistakes, and that stuck with me. That was an embarrassing and sad moment in my life.”

He went on to explain an opposite experience he had on his mission. He had a companion who was “in a really bad spot” in terms of his mood and attitude. After dealing with underlying tension, Daniels finally asked him what the issue was. “I don’t know all the emotions that you’re feeling, but how can I help?” Daniels had asked. The companion began to open up, and they “had a great conversation all the way until morning.”

It turned into a great experience for Daniels serving with this man, who changed over the next few months into a positive person who told him “you changed my life.” Daniels told him that it was all him, that he was “an awesome person who just needed to find who he was.”

“I say this not to pat myself on the back, but to make the point that hearing from him about how our talk had changed his life was the good voice. I did not like hearing that bad voice in the first example, but I really appreciated the second. And

so, what kind of voice do we want to be? To we want to be a positive voice in people’s lives, helping people bear their burdens and being there for them? None of us are alone—we are here for you. There are parents, advisors, leaders, teachers…we love you. We want to cheer each other on.” “Just a reminder tonight that you are awesome. We’re proud of you and we love you.”

Although the rain wasn’t in full force by the time of the scheduled walk, it had been intermittent throughout the evening and the organizers decided to instead have attendees walk through the school back to the main lobby for additional conversation and information.

Events like the Walk are important to raise community awareness of a topic that is often shrouded in silence, despite the wide and serious effects it brings with it. The message of the speakers and the sponsors of the event was uniformly that help was available, and that there were people who cared even if that sometimes doesn’t seem to be the case. Organizers expressed gratitude to the many people who showed up for the event. “It’s amazing to see so many people in the community out for something as important as this,” Moss said.

District will not assess property taxes for 2023-2024 school year

At the September 19, 2023, meeting of the Oneida School Board, Superintendent Jon Abrams announced that the District will not be assessing taxes through the Plant and Facilities levy for the 2023-24 school year. No property taxes will be assessed by the School District this year due to the District’s large student enrollment, leading to an increase in the State’s per pupil payment to the District, plus money from the State for capital improvements through H.B. 292 and the State’s share of the new school through the State Bond Equalization program. The District currently has $66 million in its accounts with a large portion of that money earmarked for the new elementary school.

Idaho Home Learning Academy

During administrator reports, Dr. Terri Sorensen announced that enrollment in the Idaho Home Learning Academy is 7820, up 620 from last year. The District receives State money based on a formula derived from a District’s Average Daily Enroll-

ment, which means the District benefits financially from being the home district for IHLA. IHLA also employs 424 part-time teachers from across the State although most administrators and staff are local.

In recognition of their extraordinary efforts during the summer to check certifications of the 160 new part-time IHLA teachers and to get contracts out to all IHLA employees, Linda Sullivan and Teresa Tubbs were honored as the Oneida School District “Employees of the Month.” They work in Human Relations for IHLA. (See accompanying article.)

Cheer Program for Middle School

Jennifer Hill, Abbie Goddard, and Samantha Jensen spoke to the School Board in support of starting a cheer program at Malad Middle School. The program would be open to all students and provide a new extracurricular opportunity for students. The program would become a feeder program for the Malad High School cheer program. High school cheerleaders

would teach cheers and stunts to the younger students, who would perform only at girls’ and boys’ basketball home games this year. Jennifer noted that almost all the middle schools in District 5 have cheer programs except Malad.

Mr. Bob Hannah, Principal of Malad Middle School, said he felt good about the proposal, and Superintendent Abrams added that getting students involved in activities is good so that they feel part of the school and then do better academically. The Board approved the proposal to start a cheer program at Malad Middle School.

Administrator Reports

During administrator reports, Mrs. Jeannie Reeder, Principal of Stone Elementary School, reported that the PTO had hosted a Back-to-School breakfast for students and parents. Community involvement in the school continues with Holbrook residents spreading mulch after people from all over the valley had spent time pulling weeds and beautifying the school grounds.

Ms. Sarah McIntyre, Principal of Malad Elementary School, announced the upcoming Halloween activities, including the PTO-sponsored carnival on October 5 and the parade on October 26. She said that the new reading curriculum is raising expectations for student achievement and that new interventions are being used.

Mr. Robert Hannah, Principal of Malad Middle School, said that the new Chromebooks are working well with every student having one. Volleyball and football are doing well. The new desks should decrease safety problems as the old desks had started to break down.

Mr. Michael Corbett, Principal of Malad High School, sounded relieved that Homecoming Week is over, reporting that all had gone well. Under the leadership of Liz Kent, the high school newspaper – the Kampus Keyhole – is going to be revived. The Career Fair will be on October 18 with more than 20 vendors. Kami Willie is working hard with the juniors on career preparation while Nicona Williams works

with the seniors. In answer to a question from a Board member, Mr. Corbett said that the senior project is a state requirement. He and other teachers and staff will be attending the Deans’ Advisory Board at Idaho State University to make a presentation about the very successful dual enrollment program at MHS.

Action Items

The Board approved a change in the policy governing termination of classified staff. The superintendent will have that responsibility instead of the Board.

The Board approved the increase of 15 cents for school breakfast and lunch. This year’s prices will be as follows:

MES: Breakfast ($2.25) Lunch ($2.85)

MMS/MHS: Breakfast ($2.35) Lunch ($3.05)

Adults: Breakfast ($2.65) Lunch ($4.70)

The Continuous Improvement Plan for 2023-24 was approved. The State requires that this plan be approved every year after the principals have adopted plans to improve student achievement.

“Grandma, I’m giving up screen time for a week,” Elle informed me. “Do you think I can do it?”

“Not sure,” I replied. “That’s not an easy thing to do.”

“Well, I’m reading books instead of looking at a screen. I’m on the fourth Magic Treehouse book.”

The child is wise beyond her years. I have finally learned when I want to give something

up, I can’t just quit. There needs to be something put in its place.

Later that evening I found myself calling Hadley to come look at a volleyball reel. It showed an incredible volley series between a couple of college teams. Had and I watched it a few times while Elle sat there and watched us.

Finally, Elle says, “Can we play a game or something?” Then it dawned on me why she hadn’t scuttled over to watch the reel with us. She had given up screen time and she was serious about it.

swered as we got Rummikub out and started setting it up.

After they left, I thought about her determination to follow through on her goal. She had a plan, which included replacing the bad habit with something better. She shared her goal with us so we would know. She reminded us when we forgot.

The week wore on and it looked like Elle was going to make it. On Friday morning they entered the door after dropping Hadley off at dance. The first thing Brett said when they came in was, “Elle, tell Gramma what you did this morning.”

“I watched a show!” was the reply.

“What? I thought you were going a full week with no screen time.”

“I did. A full school week. Weekends are free.”

Here’s to free weekends. I think they help make the Good Life!

(Sophomore) said, “We did so much better now that we worked together.” We did so much better in connecting passes, and shooting on goal. Our defensive line was struggling in the first half causing Aubrie to have to really be there, but they worked really hard and fixed it in the second half. We did really well with passing it up top and moving forward. Everyone played their best and it was worth it with the comeback from our last game.

to help students embrace their leadership roles and responsibilities is amazing opportunity. As an officer for both FCCLA and BPA, it was extremely motivating to be surrounded by other students who aspire to further their 2023-2024 school year through career and technical student organizations.”

Now with new information, the Malad CTSO’s are ready to make this year the best yet.

Lady Dragons make impressive showing in loss to American Falls

The Lady Dragon soccer team hosted the American Falls Beavers in their matchup on Tuesday, September 19 in what was a very intense and exciting game. Although the score might not reflect the usual hope for the end of game result, it did highlight a huge feat for the Malad team.

American Falls is his-

torically a very intense, aggressive team that dominates their games both offensively and defensively. Most often, there is quite a spread between their goals and those of their opponents, often shutting them out completely. Knowing all this, the Lady Dragons stepped on the field to match their intensity, focus and aggression, sur-

prising the Beavers and bringing a fight that they hardly expected.

In fact, the Lady Dragons dominated the opening half of the game with the ball on their side of the field for the better part of the half. Once again, goalkeeper Aubrey Shulz had a number of incredible saves, keeping American Falls scoreless. Over

the game, Schulz tallied up a total of 23 saves on the Beavers’s goal attempts.

Coming into the second half, the Beavers managed to quick back to back goals and were sure they were on roll. But the Lady Dragon defense stepped up and didn’t allow another goal the remainder of the game. Joni

Beck booted the ball with a power kick to the MHS goal, putting it passed the American Falls keeper and scoring one for Malad. Despite great energy and play, especially over the last ten minutes of the game, The Lady Dragons weren’t able to find another opportunity to score.

Regardless of the 1-2

Cross Country steps up for Bob Firman Tournament in Eagle

When words don’t quite do it justice, numbers can say it simply. As the Malad Cross Country team participated at the Bob Firman Invitational Cross Country race in Eagle Idaho, it might just sound like another day, another race and another course. But a little look at the numbers demonstrates not only the intensity of such a race, but also how well the MHS runners stepped up for their Dragon team.

The Bob Firman Invitational XC meet was run over 2 days and included 18 races that totaled up more than 9 hours of racing. Competing in the races were 4,432 athletes representing 158 high schools and 69 middle schools from 7 states, bringing an additional estimated 5,000 spectators and fans.

For the Malad XC teams, both the Men’s and Women’s Varsity Teams scored in the Top 10 with the Men’s taking the 9th place finish out of

41 teams and the Women's team earning the 7th place finish, racing against 37 teams.

All of the athletes of MHS Men’s team placed in the top half of the racers, coming in 42nd (Brycen Talbot), 56th (Braun Nalder), 61st (Levi Angell), 83rd (Boston Burbidge), 84th (Porter Allen), 133rd (Brex Martinsen) and 149 (Baylor Bean) out of 316 total runners, each of them setting either a season record or personal best.

The Women’s Team similarly placed well in the top half of racers, taking 22nd (Cally Coleman), 48th (Brooke Issacson), 64th (Hadlee Summers), 83rd (Kaylee Nalder), 95th (Brynlee Bastian), 144th (Jenna Talbot) and 157th (Madelyn Shaw) with half of them setting new season records.

Malad also had six racers compete in the Men’s and Women’s JV races. The Men’s JV five

man team placed 13th out of 32 teams, taking 47th (Colt Coleman), 91 (Caden Jeppson), 94th (Carter Smith), 116 (Jaxon Blaisdell) and 202nd (Joshua Pickett). Oakley Hebdon alone represented Malad in the JV race, took 26th place out of 207 racers.

Lily Coleman, an 8th grader racing on the Malad Middle School

XC team competed in her first 3000 meter race of the season on Friday, taking 8th place out of 279 and setting a new personal record with a time of 11:35.1. Her top 10 finish earned her not only a medal but also some fun swag from Nike+Bob Firman XC.

By the numbers, the Malad XC runners are truly an impressive team, athletes that continually show up despite the competition they face and the courses they race. They allow each run to better them and, by the numbers, it's beginning to show.

score, the game against American Falls was a big win as they held the Beavers to only two goals, truly impressive progress compared to their previous game where they allowed eleven. Coach Shenell Clark shared about their match, “We played great as a team and it was overall a really good game.”

Dragons begin conference play with win over Soda Springs

The Malad Dragon football took to the football field in Soda Springs on a chilly, wet night to face off against the Cardinals Friday, September 22. In their first conference matchup of the season, the MHS football team came onto the field pumped to play and stepped off the field pumped to have one more win to their name.

The Dragons kicked off as the game clock began its countdown of the opening quarter. The Cardinal offense made small steady gains to make their way down the field in their first drive of the game, but every once in a while, Malad would bring in a big stop to slow their momentum. In one such play, #16, senior Hunter Wray rushed the line of scrimmage, blowing through a hole previously made by the defensive line. With a wide open lane, Wray sprinted to the unknowing quarterback, nailing him with a tackle he wouldn’t soon forget and dropping him back for a loss in yards.

The defensive line stepped up big to both stop any chance of pushing the ball up the mid-

dle of the field, as well as putting pressure on the Cardinal quarterback to force hurried passes. Just as Soda Springs were beginning to have a hope for a score, the Dragons put a stop to any gains and forced them to turn the ball over. On a 4th down with only 3 yards to gain and a touchdown within range, the MHS d-line held the line to keep the Cardinals from the short gain they needed for a first down and turn over possession to the Dragon offense.

With the Soda Springs goalline right at their backs, the Dragon offense had a lot of field to make up on their opening drive. Before they could even go more than a couple of plays, the clock rang out to close out the first quarter, ending it with both teams scoreless.

Stepping back on the field to begin the second quarter, Dragon quarterback Braylen Tripp tried to make quick work to move his offense down the field, connecting with Timmy Jensen with a pass to the outside for a short gain. Mirroring the previous play, Tripp

found Ryan Hubbard on the outside, making a catch through the defenders hands to keep from turning over the ball. On the next down, the Dragons tried pushing the ball up the middle but couldn’t quite make the first down, leading to them punt on their final down.

Over the next several drives, the two teams traded possession of the ball, making little headway as they attempted to move towards the end zone. The Dragon defense put up some big tackles by Mayson Brees, Wray, Sawyer Poulson, Dylan Moss, and Caleb Matthews, working together to take down the Cardinal ball carriers. As the minutes ticked down to half time, Soda Springs had a series of successful downs to put them in scoring territory. While the Dragon defense was bringing the pressure, the Cardinal’s quarterback hurled the ball towards the end zone, connecting with his receiver who stepped over the goalline to put the first points on the scoreboard with only seconds left. The Dragons kept their opponents

from two extra points, ending the first half with the score 0-6.

Coming back after the halftime break, the two teams’ defenses dominated the game as both offenses went just three downs before being forced to punt. Malad found a little fortune as they punted on their second drive of the half that turned the game on its head. As the punt was sailing through the air deep in the backfield, the Dragon special teams sprinted down the field. The ball took a lucky bounce, flipping up on the leg of the kickoff returner. Before he ever knew what was happening, Malad was on the ball recovering it to return their offense to the field on the 15 yard line.

Energized by the play, the offense began eating up the yards to the endzone. Wray was stopped just short of the goal line as he punched his way up through the middle, followed by another stop as Tripp attempted a quarterback keep to run it in. After a quick time out to finesse the details, Tripp gave it one more try, easily finding a path

into the end zone to tie up the game. The Dragons took the lead, 8-6, as they ran the ball in for two extra points.

With momentum on their side, the Malad defense brought a new intensity and pressure that the Soda Springs team simply couldn’t handle. The d-line put up their “Dragon Wall” keeping the running game at a standstill. As the Cardinals turned to pass, the rushing defenders put intense pressure on the quarterback, forcing rushed passes that Hubbard was able to twice, get a finger on and bat down. Lex Driskel had a huge hit, laying out the quarterback just as he got rid of the ball to end their drive and give possession back to Malad.

As the game moved into the fourth quarter, the Dragon offense converted on downs play after play. Moving into the redzone, Malad pushed the ball to inches from the goal line before Hubbard pushed through for the touchdown, made possible as Poulsen came in for a big block to make a clear path for Hubbard’s run. The Dragons ran the ball

in again for two extra points, extending their lead 16-6.

Taking the field again, the Malad defense held the Soda Springs drive and forced them to go out on their 4th down. The Cardinal defense brought a similar intensity, forcing a punt on Malad’s own 4th down just plays later. With a few minutes left in the game, the MHS defensive coverage stepped up, allowing little time to throw and no receivers to throw to. Thinking he had found an opening, the Soda Springs quarterback attempted a short pass that Hubbard picked off for an interception. The Dragon offense finished out the game, running out the clock to win 16-6.

Totaling up the stats sheet, the MHS team tallied 159 offensive yards, 114 rushing and 45 passing. With another win to their record, the Malad Dragons now stand at 4-2. Their schedule next sets them to play at home against their conference opponent, the Aberdeen Tigers, on September 29.

Strong Volleyball season continues with win over Soda Springs

The Lady Dragons took their A game on the road, facing off against the Lady Cardinals of Soda Springs on Thursday, September 21, dominating the game, “kicking butt and taking names,” as the saying goes. While the Cardinals didn’t simply roll over as Malad came into town, it was clear they were no match for the Lady Dragons.

Malad played scrappy from the get go as they settled into their rhythm. Just a few points into the game, Hallie Horsley had a big hit from the back row to bring the energy for the Lady Dragons. Liv Nelson, playing her best game of the season thus far, dominated the net both offensively and defensively, sending over a short tip that was just out of reach for Soda Springs as Malad drove up the scoreboard.

Leading from the service line, Izzy Haycock drilled down on the Cardinal offense with intense serves that they could hardly handle, let alone turn into scoring opportunities. Malad

was up 12-3 before an unlucky block bounced out as the Lady Dragons stopped another attack by the Cardinals. It only took one great pass by Teagan Daniels to set Horsley up for a kill to win back the serve and keep on their winning roll.

Soda Springs would occasionally bring on a surge of energy and skill, but the Lady Dragons' signature grit pulled them through each play. In one such instance, Kaite Allen and Adley Kimberling put up a soft block against the Cardinal hit attempt, popping it up to the deep back corner. With quick reflexes, defensive specialist Anistyn Tovey, brought the ball back into the court where Horsley dove to keep the ball from dropping. Tovey finished the play as she pushed the ball deep into the Soda Springs court, the Cardinals hitting it out.

For every point Soda Springs could manage, Malad answered with several of their own, their lead growing to 20-7 as Brynnlee Jones

pounded the ball over from the outside attack.

Libero, Brylee Oglesbee, covered the Dragon back court well, playing a key role with big digs and stellar passes in their final points of the game, to take the win 25-10.

The Cardinals came into game two with a whole new intensity, bringing a stronger attack, tougher defense and spicier serves. Nelson and Haycock were well prepared for such an attack, putting up a tight block and answering with their own play-ending kill by Haycock from the right side. Nelson was forced to be reckoned with on the net as she earned points for the Lady Dragons with a block, followed by a hit up the middle, followed by a kill on a Cardinal overpass.

Unfortunately, Malad fell into a rut, committing errors that Soda Springs capitalized on to not only catch up on the scoreboard, but narrowly pull ahead to win the second game, 23-25.

Motivated by their hunger to win, the Lady Dragons came out in

game three to shut out their opponent in their first several plays. Jones began the scoring with a big hit from the outside. The team stepped up together to win their next point with a save by Haycock, push across the net by Kimberling, another save by Horsley, and the play winning block by Nelson.

The Cardinals struggled to handle the Lady Dragon pressure, their digs shanking out, hitting into the net or coming off as a double. In an opposite fashion, Malad picked up digs and stray balls as Tovey, Oglesbee and Daniels defended the Dragon backcourt.

Soda Springs managed a tough block as outside hitter Horsley brought a killer attack. Undeterred by their stop, Horsley set up for another hit, smashing down on the other side in a response that said, “You can keep me down!” She didn’t let up as she then went to the service line and pounded over six serves that the Cardinals couldn't pass up or convert into a play, running the score to 22-10. The

25-10, 23-25, 25-14, 25-7

two teams split the next few points as they battled it out across the net, with the Lady Dragons outscoring them to finish out the game, 25-14.

The third and final game of the match began where the last game had ended, with Malad bringing on the pressure and Soda Springs failing to keep up. Setter Kimberling kept the Cardinal defense on their toes as she continued to mix up the offense, setting up hits from the outside, middle, rightside, back court and even an unexpected dump. Moving the ball around to the various hitters forced the Cardinal defense to wait and follow the ball rath-

er than guess and cheat where the next hit would come from.

The final push by the Lady Dragons with great serves by Haycock and Nelson and ping-ponging hits by Horsley finished off the fourth game with a dominating score, 25-7, and ending the match with Malad 3 games to Soda Springs 1.

The Lady Dragons have a big week at home as they first host the Lady Bears of Bear Lake on Wednesday, September 27 and then as they put on their annual two day tournament over the weekend.
