Constitution Day Celebration at Malad City Park

On Saturday, members of the pub lic attended a Constitution Day cele bration in the park. The event, which was revived after a several year hiatus, involved patriotic musical numbers, youth essay contests winners, local speakers, and Guest Speaker Raul Labrador, candidate for Idaho Attor ney General. The event was originally the brainchild of Larry Ward, and was revived by organizer Brian Jeppson this year to bring back the tradition.

“We had it going for a couple years, and then I don’t know exactly what happened. Like happens, I think we all just got too busy. But we figured ‘let’s bring it back’. And a lot of peo ple volunteered and seemed excited to get it going again. We want to start this celebration again as a county hol iday, and a national holiday,” Jeppson said.A number of volunteers, including Mayor Hawkins, Art Martinez, Pas tor Jack Harwell, Toni Werk, Ken and Kristy Eliason, and others were on hand to cook and serve chili dogs to the assembled crowd of several dozens of

invocation by Victory Baptist’s Pas tor Jack Harwell, this year’s organiz er Brian Jeppson provided some re marks on the nature and meaning of the celebration. Jeppson explained that while the Republic was born after the Revolutionary war, it took several more years to fully complete the Con stitution, leading to a September 17,

1787 birthday. He reiterated that it was more important than ever to read and understand the document in or der to understand our country. Small copies of the Constitution were avail able to all interested. The event was

Suicide Awareness and Prevention Walk

Last week, the Oneida County Hos pital and a number of other sponsors put on the annual Suicide Prevention and Awareness Walk. The event is part of a national movement to raise aware ness about the prevalence of suicide in the U.S., as well as strategies for help ing those who may be struggling with suicidal thoughts. The event is also a platform for spreading awareness of resources available to those affected byFreesuicide.T-shirts with the slogan “You are Enough” were handed out to the dozens of attendees who filled the High School auditorium. The many sponsors also staffed booths that pro vided information on the local re sources for suicide prevention. After a speech, the event turned into a solemn

continuePricesGas to fall for second month

The average price of gas in the U.S. was reported as $3.68/ gallon this week, which is well under Idaho’s current average of $4.41/gallon. As of Monday, Malad’s prices were noted at $4.19. Gas prices have con tinued to decline as a result of a number of factors, including reduced demand, the opening of the oil reserve, and stabiliza tion in some foreign oil markets. Analysts expect the price to continue falling for the foresee able future.

Former Funeral director due in court Downard Funeral Director Lance Peck returned to a Bannock County courtroom this week for a pre-trial conference. The defense attorneys for Peck had asked for a pre-trial con ference due to the large num ber of documents involved in the case. Peck was granted a delay, in order for his lawyers to examine the over 4,500 doc uments in evidence. Peck is accused of a number of crimes related to negligent storage of remains and interference with burial. The Downard Funeral Home was closed last year as police investigated a number of improperly stored corpses at the location.

Idaho Supreme Court overturns visitation law for grandparents

Last week, the Idaho Su preme Court overturned a law that granted visitation rights to grandparents over the ob jections of the children’s par ents. The initial case arose as a result of Denis and Linda Nelson seeking visitation with their grandchildren despite what the parents claimed were violations of their boundaries by the grandparents, and a frac tious relationship that they did not feel was healthy for their children. The case has been through any levels of litigation and appeal, but the state high court declared the visitation law on the books unconstitutional and the case itself was dis missed.

INL createsresearchers3-Dfossils

Researchers at the Idaho Na tional Laboratory have figured out a way to use high resolution X-ray microscopy, which is typ ically used to examine samples of irradiated nuclear fuel, to examine the minute details of ancient fossils. The device allows scientists to examine the submillimeter level of material in fossils, which provides signifi cantly more detail than previous imaging methods. Eventually, the scanned images will be used to create rotating 3-D holo grams for display at Fossil Butte National Monument in Wyoming.

Idaho signs deal with Taiwan over wheat Governor Brad Little singed a two-year agreement supporting wheat sales to Taiwan last week. About half of Idaho’s wheat is exported every year, with Taiwan having been the second biggest buyers of the crop for over 40 years. Canada is the top im porter of Idaho wheat. Taiwan was happy to lock in the deal, as Russian wheat crops have been affected by Russia’s current war against Ukraine.

The Constitution is important to me be cause…it protects my rights and freedoms as a U.S. citizen. Specifical ly, my right to worship my Lord and savior, my right to bear arms, and my freedom of speech. It is also helping we the people of the Unit ed States of America to form a more perfect Union.Itis important to me to learn about God and get to know Him. When I go to church it makes me feel good because we sing, we pray, and most importantly we learn about God. In a lot of different countries, you cannot worship God. I am very grateful to the men who wrote the Con stitution and the Bill of Rights so that I can go to church and read the Bi ble whenever and wher ever I “Everythingwant. that is re ally great and inspiring is created by the indi vidual who can labor in freedom.”—Albert Ein steinCaroline Whipple, 10

The Constitution is a very old document. It was written and signed by 56 men who we call our founding fathers. One of the founding fathers was George Washington, another was William Whipple. The founding fathers wrote the Constitution because there were too many problems in the country’s first governing document, the Articles of Confederation. They decided to start over and make a better one.

The Founding Fathers wanted to have a gov erning document that would help the govern ment be strong but not too strong. They wanted the people to have their freedom as much as pos sible, with a government that would be strong enough to protect the people.The Constitution is important to me because I can have my freedom. This means I can choose many things that I want to do without asking the government for permis sion. This makes my fu ture full of possibilities!

William Whipple, 12

The Constitution is a very important docu ment. It tells the gov ernment what it can and cannot do. Without a Constitution we would be much worse off. And constitutional rule of law type government al lows the people to have more freedoms without having anarchy.

A free society with out any laws is anarchy. That means there is no government to protect the people, so they can basically do whatever they want without con sequences, even if it hurts other people.

The opposite would be a dictatorship. With this type of government, people don’t get to make any choices without per mission of their govern ment. Some forms of government come close to dictatorship, like monarchy, communism, fascism, and socialism. These forms of govern

ment try to control our lives.Our Constitution pro vides us with a Free Market, Federalist Con stitutional Democratic Republic. This allows us a say in our govern ment with the inherent flaws of democracy, which eventually lead to mob rule. It allows us fairAmendedrepresentation.toour Con stitution is the Bill of Rights, which constitu tionally protects some of our most important God-given rights. This prohibits the govern ment from taking those rights from us.

The reason why I love the Constitution is it

makes it so the govern ment cannot take my rights away very easily. It also provides a way for me to try to get them back.Serena Whipple, 15

Although the U.S. Constitution is small, I find it very challenging to read and even more challenging to under stand. The language used in it is strange— after all, it was written over two hundred years ago. Because it’s hard to comprehend, it would be easy to think that it really doesn’t matter, but that just isn’t true.

Thomas Jefferson ex plained, “The purpose of the Constitution is to

restrict the majority’s ability to harm a minori ty.” The Constitution protects my liberty and gives me a chance to help keep it safe.

It sets up a government where the people can and will affect how the coun try turns out. We can let the government take away our rights one at a time, or we can fight for them. Abraham Lincoln said, “We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitu tion.” The founding fa thers gave us a way to keep our country free

for many years as long as we are awake and can defend liberty. The Constitution tru ly was made for the good of the people. The founding fathers under stood that some gov ernment was needed for certain things, but they also respected that liber ty would slowly be tak en away from the people if they didn’t prevent it. The Constitution is what they did to prevent this. The Constitution makes it clear what the government is allowed to do, and extremely clear about what it is not allowed to do. The

first ten amendments are literally our rights that the government is not al lowed to touch.

To me, the Constitu tion is like a wall around the government. If the wall remains, the gov ernment can’t take any of my rights. Sadly, the “Wall” is constantly be ing attacked and if we don’t protect it, it will eventually fall. Thom as Sowell explained it perfectly when he said, “The Constitution can not protect us unless we protect the Constitu tion.” It really is there to protect us, but, if we start letting out inalien able rights it protects go, we will soon be letting the rest of the protection it provides us go too.

I love the Constitu tion because it set up an amazing governmental system, while still pro tecting my unalienable rights. The government keeps us from anarchy and the Constitution keeps the government from becoming a tyr anny. The founding fa thers found a wonderful middle ground where I can enjoy liberty. Ben jamin Franklin said, “The U.S. Constitution doesn’t guarantee happi ness, only the pursuit of it. You have to catch up with it yourself.” I can pick a career, hobbies, the food I eat, and exact ly how I will spend each and every day. I can do what I want with my life while constantly looking for what makes me hap piest. The Constitution is important to me be cause it protects what I love most in life.

MALAD, Idaho-- The Bureau of Land Man agement (BLM) Idaho Falls District will con duct a 264-acre pre scribed burn in John Evans Canyon, 8 miles west of Malad, Idaho sometime between Oc tober 1 and December 1, 2022. Actual ignition date and time will de pend on fuel and fire weather conditions. Ida ho Falls District BLM will take every effort to avoid disrupting the deer hunt running from Octo ber 10 to October 24.

By Dotty Thorpe Evan son aka Gramma Dot Brain Kinesiology, ever heard of it? We were in St. George recently and I went to a Zumba class. The instructor was perky, fun, and seemed to know what she was doing.

During the workout she kept referring to cross over exercises that help your brain hemispheres connect and ward off de mentia. Now if there is a way to ward off dementia, I’m in. At the end of the session, she showed us three simple exercises to help us find more balance and connection for our

So, three simple exer cises and my brain will work better? I did a little research and studies are not conclusive, but hon estly, not many studies are.

With the closing of the SEICAA office in Malad in June, the community lost the commodities program provided for those resi dents that qualified un der income guidelines. the Oneida Crisis Center initially wanted to con tinue the program under SEICAA, but when that failed, Director Car ol Caulford decided to move forward anyway with a building to hold commodities and to ser vice a community food pantry. Grants were sub mitted and a letter was sent to local business and community lead ers asking for help, and in just two and a half months, the new com munity food pantry is a reality.Bringing home rib bons for their partic ipation at the Eastern Idaho State Fair are the following youths whose projects qualified from the Oneida County Fair.

Untold hours of yard work captured the Sep tember Yard of The Month honor for Glenn and Donna Morris at 48 Bush Avenue. Ablaze with color and neat as a pin, the award is well given. The Morrises moved to Malad from California two years ago and promptly set to work remodeling their new house and yard. Donna says the climate here has been a chal lenge since it’s so much different than Califor nia’s, but the neighbors have come through with lots of help, hints and even plant starts.

The names of four lo cal students were listed to the summer quarter honor roll just released

from Utah State Uni versity. Marilyn Marie Jones was named in the College of Education and in the School of Graduate Studies, Ralph Louis Bennett, Jon Ward and Anne Ward.

Five Scouters from Malad participated in the Order of the Arrow ordeal at Camp Little Lemhi along with other boys from surrounding area. Malad Scouts par ticipating were Dustin Olsen, Tom Scott, Laren Nalder, Bryan Horsley and David Talbot.

Addiction Recovery Programs held at Stake Center

form of addiction serves Satan’s purposes and subverts our Heavenly Father’s. This applies to addictions to drugs (such as narcotics, nicotine, or caffeine), addiction to practices such as gam bling, and other addictive behavior. We can avoid addictions by keeping the commandments of God” (“Free Agency and Free dom,” Brigham Young University 1987-88 De votional and Fireside Speeches [1988], 45).

These support groups focus on the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anony mous which have been adapted into a framework of the doctrines, princi ples, and beliefs of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Men and women who have suffered the devas tating effects of various addictions and have ex perienced recovery were invited by LDS Family Services to share their experiences in applying these principles in their lives. Their point of view is used to convey the an

guish of addiction and the joy of healing and recov ery and is included in the guide used in the support group meetings. Church leaders and counseling professionals have also been involved in writing and developing the guide. The combined wisdom and experience of these many authors stands as yet another witness of the reality of the Atonement of Jesus Christ and the possibility of recovery fromAnyoneaddiction.who suspects they are addicted or feels even the smallest desire to break free are invited to attend one of the ARP support groups in our area. The group leaders for Malad are Stake Ser vice Missionaries Rex and Sarah Robbins. Sup port groups meetings are held on Thursday nights at 8:00 p.m. in the Malad Stake Building. Attend ees enter on the southeast side of the building where there is a single door. A sign welcoming those who attend will be on the door.

City Water Update: Tyler Webster, City Superintendent

City Superintendent

Tyler Webster recently spoke to the Enterprise about the new water re strictions, and some of the ongoing issues with the city’s water system. The city recently an nounced on its Facebook page that it was asking people to regulate their watering in order to de crease the strain on the

waterTylersystem.Webster provid ed the following state ment:“What we are trying to do is slow the im mediate demand on our culinary water supply. Since Deep Creek irriga tion has been turned off, the potable water system is being used for both home use and irrigation.

We are seeing peak de mands around 7:00 in the morning and 6:307:00 in the evening. By making the even house numbers water on even days and odd numbers on odd days, we cut the immediate demand in half.One of the problems we are facing right now is our booster station.

Our automated sys tem is outdated and not working correctly. We only have one of the two boosters working automatically. The oth er booster we operate manually. There is a new SCADA system being installed but with the supply chain problems, some of the electronics are on a long lead time.

This new system should be up and running by December. This is a big part of what I see as the most immediate need of the City—bringing our aging water system up to current standards.

The City can provide enough water to meet all the demands when the system is running prop erly. Something each of

us as citizens of Malad can do is continually be mindful of the precious resource water is. Use it sparingly and conserve as much as possible. If anyone has any is sues with the City water or any of the infrastruc ture please contact me.”

Suicide Awareness and Prevention Walk

walk in remembrance of those whose lives have been lost to suicide, be ginning at the school and moving up and down Jenkins Avenue. The event has been held at the City Park in the past, but due to expected rain, the venue was moved in side the school.

Idaho ranked ninth in the U.S. for suicide rates in 2021, with a rate of 20.1 per 100,000 people, which is slight ly down from its 2018 ranking of fifth. Utah has been ranked sixth in the last several reports. Surrounding states Wy oming, Montana, Colo rado, and New Mexico have all been consistent ly ranked in the top five.

Suicide rates are signif icant for all age groups, but they have been high est among those in the 30-39 year age group, as well as the 70-79 year age group, according to the National Institutes of Health. Oneida County is no exception to these statistics, and one of the missions of the pro gram was to highlight how close to home the suicide epidemic is to everyone. Signs outside the walking course listed the names of those fam ily members who have died as a result of sui cide.Jon Abrams, current School Superintendent, was the featured speak er at the event. Abrams has been involved in ed ucation for 36 years, in a number of capacities (including service as an elementary, middle school, and high school principal), and he shared the following remarks: “Over the course of my career, I’ve been asked to speak at any number of events. But this is a topic that is near and dear to my heart. Like many of you here, I’ve lost friends, stu dents, family to suicide. And I must tell you, in that time I’ve done a lot of growing and a lot of learning over the course of those years. And I wanted to share my first close experience with it.

I was teaching at Burley Junior High, just down the road. It was just a normal morning like any other morning when I walked into school. And it quickly became ap parent that this was any thing but a normal day.

The night before one of my students had taken his own like. Seventh grade. Spenser was his name. I’ll never forget Spenser. He was small er than most, had a hard time fitting in. He just wanted to be part of the group. He just wanted to be loved. Wanted to be liked, and feel like he belonged.Atthe time at the Junior High they had a club. The kids had formed a club they called the Navy Seals. And they had their Navy Seal hats, and they all hung out together. And they told Spenser, ‘Hey, do you want to join our club? We’ll give you a hat and an initiation, and then you’ll be part of the club.’ So, he went and got his hat, and he showed up when they told him to show up. No one was there. The next

day he came to school and he was just as happy and bubbly as ever. But he started doing some things that day that were a little different. He gave his hat away. He gave his radio away. He gave anything anyone wanted away. I guess that was just naïve on my part—I was unaware of what a low place Spenser was at. That night he went home and took his life.

At that time in schools, we hadn’t dealt with a lot of that. Or at least I hadn’t at that point in my career. And a lot of what we did to try to show respect to Spenser was completely contrary to what we now know. No one called a facul ty meeting to talk to us about what we should do. No one even called me to tell me that one of my students had taken their lives. It was just one poor choice after poor choice, which trag ically led to some copy cats. What I learned from that experience thirty-three years ago were some of the things I’d like to share tonight.

First off, be very, very slow to judge some one who’s struggling. You don’t know what they’re going through. It may appear to you that their life is pretty good. But you never know what someone is going through. And we would never judge someone who said ‘I’m going to the doctor, I broke my arm.’ We would encourage them to get help. And yet somehow, someone with mental illness, we think that’s something to be embar rassed about. Nothing could be further from the truth. When you know someone’s struggling, you encourage them to get the Anotherhelp.thing, there isn’t a person in this room who is immune, or who doesn’t know someone who might experience mental ill ness. Just be there for them. Be a good lis tener, and a slow, slow judge. There are people who are trained to help people who are strug gling with mental ill ness. Most of use aren’t those people. What we all can and must do is be a good listener, and nev er, ever promise that you won't tell someone else. Because that’s how we

save lives—by making connections with those who can help. Be kind. No one should ever have to eat lunch alone. No one should ever have to walk down halls filled with people feeling that there’s no one they can turn to.

I didn’t plan to share this experience that I had this last week, but I feel that it’s appropriate since there are so many young people here. I had a couple students seek ing advice call me. And they said, ‘we wonder if you have some money in your budget to help us with a project.’ So I asked them to tell me about the project. They said, ‘Last year we were feeling like we didn’t fit, or belonged. We de cided to do something about it, so we formed a club. And when we see someone struggling we do something about it. And we just wondered if you had any resources to help us get some sup plies.’ So I wrote them a check for what they needed, because we do have resources in this community. And these kids were such a great example—taking some thing that in most peo ple’s world would be a very negative thing and turning into a very pos itive thing, and that’s what we need more of in thisNext,world.don’t minimize what someone is going through. When some one talks to you, just listen. Encourage them, and help them find the resources to help them through the difficult times.Finally, I want to tell you one question I’ve been asking over thirty years every time I in terview someone who wants to teach: can a teacher be too empa thetic? Can they put themselves too much in the shoes of their stu dents? And the answer I often get is “absolute ly. You get yourself too involved in their lives and live vicariously and it’s too much.” But the

and a person.” I’m go ing to invite everyone to do what I know you’re already going to do this year—be more aware. Be quicker to help. And remember, no one’s life ought to end tragically. I do want to end on one other note, because many of you will have lost someone very close to you through sui cide—whether a friend, a spouse, a grandchild, a child—there’s one thing I know for absolutely

be here right now, they would want to tell you that they’re okay. And that you’re going to be okay. Don’t blame your self. Don’t focus on the regrets you may have of what you didn’t do. Just live. Be kind. And love those that come to you.

I promise you if you do that, this can be a pret ty darn good life. Not without its challenges, not without mistakes, but a wonderful life. And I thank you for be

of this wonderful life of helping people feel better about themselves, and feeling value.”

Sponsors for the event included the Nell J. Red field Hospital, the Onei da Crisis Center, MHS Counseling Services, Southeast Idaho Pub lic Health, Jody Owens Labyrinth Assessment & Behavioral Health Ser vices, the family of Troy Estep, and others.

last several years have shown that across the country, most opera tions have taken a loss.

A handful of factors have led to a greater financial burden for many operations. Fac tors such as increasing input costs like hay, fer tilizer, seed, equipment and parts. There are times that farmers and ranchers can get cre ative to reduce costs, but those practices are proving less productive and leaving operators unsure how they will afford to keep going on.

Increasing interest rates make borrow ing less beneficial for farmers and ranchers, even more risky. Most agriculture business es utilize operating loans that allow them to borrow funds until their harvests are in and, more important ly, their checks have been cashed. There is always that risk of borrowing more than what is brought in at the end of the season and increased interest rates makes for an even greater borrowing risk.

Coupled with in creasing operating costs, an unreliable market has made farm ing and ranching an even greater gamble. Hoping and waiting for prices to rise, only to watch them sink or sink even further is a fear everyone in the agricul ture industry has had to face.So many other issues farmers and ranchers face like many of their financial burdens are things that are out

side their control. Of course, the greatest influencing factor for farmers and ranchers is theAcrossweather.the country, operations have dealt the weighty blow of drought, blizzards, flooding, freezing tem peratures and abnor mal heat waves. All of these unpredictable and devastating weath er patterns have come with an even greater stress for those affected operations and, in some cases, even left many with no option but to sell

The traditions and culture of many operations can be defining and mov ing away from the way grandpa used to do it may be a change some are unwilling or unable to Manymake. farmers and ranchers struggle under the weight of an uncer tain future of their op eration, largely due to the unanswered and of ten unasked question of who will keep the fam ily farm or ranch run ning. Not having a plan of who will take the reins next or any sort of succession planning

leaves a lot of unrest and can cause signifi cant family conflicts.

On the flip side, a larger number of the upcoming generation are choosing not to re turn to the family op eration, leaving aging farmers and ranchers without an heir and forced to sell out. For those younger genera tions that are staying, they are feeling the pressure to keep the family operation run ning. After years and generations of work, they can feel they can’t be the ones to fail and lose it all.

Men aged 65 and old er make up the largest group of farmers and ranchers taking their own lives. After a life time of farming and ranching, they begin feeling lost and unsure of who they are as they find themselves less ca pable and successful at the very thing they have dedicated their lives to. Many aging farm ers and ranchers have physical and mental disabilities that make it impossible for them to keep working and they find themselves slipping into an all con suming depression.

There are several oth er factors that might not weigh so heavily, but certainly contribute to the burden farmers and ranchers face. Con sumer demands and opinions often make farming and ranching feel like a thankless job. Despite their ef forts to feed the world, farmers and ranchers are often made the bad

The Knights football teams played in Aber deen on Thursday the 15th. The 7th grade team played a great game that was very close the entire time.

The game was off to a great start when River Taylor recovered an Ab erdeen fumble making it Malad’s turn on offense.

With just over a minute in the first half quarter back Oak Smith made a 30 yard pass to Dawson Buetler who got the ball close to the end zone.

On the next play quar terback Oak ran the ball in to tie the game 6-6 to go into halftime. The 7th grade defense did an amazing job and kept

Aberdeen from scoring in the second half. As time was almost out in the game Oak Smith got into the end zone again making the score 12-0 Malad. With Aberdeens last drive of the game a big tackle by River Taylor on 4th down got Malad the back with just 15 seconds on the clock. Malad took a knee and ended the game with the winThe12-6.8th graders got ready to play under the Aberdeen lights while the storm clouds rolled in. The first 8 min utes of the game were a complete downpour but the Knights played some amazing football

MHS Volleyball takes down West Side

The MHS Volleyball team looks forward to every game they step on the court but their match up against the West Side Pirates has been on their minds since last sea son. In a big win over 5 sets, the Lady Drag ons defeated West Side who would later go on to become the 2A State Champions. With that game in mind, players, coaches and fans knew this was going to be an exciting game to watch.

From the first serve, the Lady Dragons didn’t disappoint. They brought their competi tive hitting game, their scrappy fight for it per sistence, and their cool under pressure attitude. They took an early lead in the first match as Ad ley Kimberling started with the serve. The team kept the ball in play with good passing and even better hitting. West Side got their first score as the Lady Dragons were up by 6, but the Pirates couldn’t keep up with Malad’s game. MHS took the first set, 25-14.

Hallie Horlsey earned the first point of the sec ond set as she pounded the ball passed the Pi rates block after a long rally between the two teams. West Side came better prepared for the Lady Dragons in the sec ond set, taking the lead

9-2. But the the MHS volleyball wasn’t ready to give up and fought to come back, picking away at the Pirates lead. It was a team effort to battle back with Riglee Petersen's heated serves, Horsley’s aggressive hit ting, and Abby Rosen quist’s blocking across the net kept them in play. With only 4 points left for West Side to win the set, the Lady Dragons rallied back in a big way. The team took the win as Petersen dug the Pirate’s hit, passing it to Kim berling who set Hors ley up for the kill West Side couldn’t bring back over to end the set, 2522. Coach Cami Tripp commented how great it was to see the girls play with confidence, even when they were down. “They never believed they couldn’t win,” she added, “and that is what won them that set.”

If the Pirates weren’t already fired up before, they came out hot for the third set of the game. They fought to keep up with Malad’s intensity, making it an exciting game to watch. This time, the two teams bat tled back and forth for the lead, always staying within just a few points of each other. Keeping the ball in play was no easy feat but the MHS volleyball team covered

the court well from the deep corners to those short tips just over the net. As much West Side tried to keep libero, Brylee Oglesbee, from getting the ball, she wasn’t to be stopped in her passing. The soph omore led the team with 16 digs for the night and great serve receive pass ing from the back court. Despite their great team work and effort, the Pi rates pulled ahead at the end of the set to win, 25-The22. fourth set proved to be a battle at the net with both sides putting up strong blocks and hard hits. Kimberling, the junior captain, kept a cool head throughout the set to strategically lead her team from the court. The setter placed the ball well to set up her hitters from the kill as well as dupping it into the open court on the unsuspecting Pirates. Middle blocker, Camia Bean, led the team with 11, protecting the net well from West Side’s

attempts.Itwasn’t an easy set for the Lady Dragons, by any means. They once again found them selves trailing, but their desire to win was strong. As the scores inched up, it was evident that they were going to fight to the end. The Pirate’s man

aged a few good blocks that could have rattle the team, but instead they rallied back with greater intensity. Riley Hammer stepped up to serve the final 4 points of the game for Malad, with serves too difficult for West Side to make a play on. Each time the team was forced to push the ball over, giving Malad the opportunity to

swing for the kill. The gym was full of excite ment and cheers as the ball came down for that final point in Malad’s fa vor as Horsley went up with a big swing to end the game,Coach25-18.Tripp had nothing but praise for her team at the end of the night. Admittedly, there were mistakes, but the coach was proud of

the progress the team was making. If there was one word the coach would use to describe that game it would be “desire”. She comment ed, “They just wanted so badly that they never came up. Beyond that, they played with grit and determination and that is why they won tonight.”

The Lady Dragon soccer team started off the Homecoming week games as they hosted the American Falls Beavers Monday, September 19. Despite falling to the Bea vers, the Malad team and fans are proud of the game the Lady Dragons played.

The young MHS soc cer team came out ready to play, with their defense fired up and ready to play ball with the more experi enced 3A American Falls team. The Lady Dragons did well to frustrate their opponents as they began the game, keeping them from scoring much longer than they had hoped.

American Falls played a highly aggressive game, pushing the Dragons to play with intensity and fire. Coach Shenelle Clark shared how the team played at a higher level

than when they faced off in American Falls. The teams played a fast paced game and despite being outmatched by their op ponents, the Malad soccer team kept pace with the Beavers every step of the way.

It has taken some time, but the coaches talked about how the team is starting to come together better, to trust and rely on each other and develop that team chemistry. The coaches were also pleased to see progress in those different skills they have

been working on in their practices, such as win ning the ball in the air. In Monday night’s game, the Lady Dragons really worked to position them selves to take possession of the ball as it came flying passed them.

The night’s fun wasn’t over when the final whis tle blew. As a part of the homecoming fun, some of Malad’s finest young men took to the field for their own soccer match up. Coached by the MHS girls soccer team and reffed by Coach Clark and her husband, the boys split up into teams to see who would earn bragging rights for the year to come.

Ben Corbett was the first to score for the

jersey clad team, draw ing big cheers from the admiring fans. As the game wore on, the boys proved that it takes quite some skill to get that lit tle ball into what seems like a big net. The night was full of laughs and cheers, big misses and great moves. The game ended with a score of 3 to 2, shirts taking the win, the glory and brag ging rights and jerseys taking the defeat.
