Malad celebrates Earth and Arbor Days while beautifying downtown

Members of the City Council were joined by volunteers from the community on Monday in celebration of Earth Day and Arbor Day. A longstanding eyesore of a vacant corner lot on Bannock Street west of the Co-op building got the beginnings of a makeover, as five trees were planted along the alley side of the lot, which will soon be converted into additional downtown parking, rather than sit unused and weedy.

The trees are Indian Summer Crabapple trees, which will not grow very tall, but will provide a bit of shade and greenery to the otherwise empty landscape. The trees were funded by a grant through the League of Idaho Cities, and sponsored by Rocky Mountain Power. They were purchased from Westwood Growers in Pocatello. A watering line for the trees has been installed by the City Crew at the Co-op building, and will make watering the nearby Main Street plants somewhat easier as well. Planter boxes will go between the trees, built by Paul Giles of Envisions Solutions Unlimited.

LaMonte John, local architect, designed the planned parking and green space. Following the planting of the trees, City Council President Lance Tripp spoke to the volunteers about the history and importance of Arbor Day. While the city has many infrastructure projects underway, including the longterm Bannock Street project, it has also been one of the council’s goals to maintain continue to improve the appearance and natural spaces of the downtown area by cultivating plants and trees to increase shade and natural beauty.

Lincoln Day Dinner scheduled for May 18

Be sure to take the opportunity to meet the candidates on this year’s primary ballot next month, when the annual Lincoln Day Dinner and Fundraiser is held on Saturday, May 18 at 6:00 pm at the Oneida County Event Center. All of the local and state candidates who will appear on the ballot have been invited to attend the event and speak to voters about themselves, their platforms, and their plans for the future.

Jim Noorlander is the scheduled keynote speaker for the event, and is a national speaker who has been awarded the Citizen Stateman Award by the Utah Eagle Forum for his “strong moral position in stopping legislation that would hurt families”. He later received a national award from Phyllis Schlafly, national Eagle Forum President. Noorlander has run for Congress twice, and has spoken to many national audiences on such topics as “the difference between liberty and freedom.” Jim believes “America has a divine destiny which has not yet been fulfilled, and Her greatest days are yet to come.”

This year’s candidates include state positions, as well as county commissioner and sheriff spots. As commitments from candidates become finalized, we will update the speaker’s roster.

The dinner will be catered by the Iron Door Smokehouse, and Boy Scout Troop 1776 will be on hand to conduct the flag ceremony.

Funds raised through the event will be used to help support the organizational costs of the OCRC (Oneida County Republican Central Committee) in sending delegates to the Idaho State Republican Convention in Couer d’alene in June.

Please RSVP for the event by calling Karen Kerr at (509) 5288962, visiting Lincolnday.org, or using the QR code in the ad in this paper. Tickets are $25 a person, and donations are gladly accepted.

The dinner and fundraiser will host a silent auction and a live auction with many prime items for bid. The event is the only fundraiser which helps support the operations of the local Republican Party for the year.

Volcano erupts in Indonesia

Mount Ruang in Indonesia underwent multiple explosive eruptions last week, causing volcanic gases to reach the atmosphere’s second layer, thousands of feet above ground. The volcano ejected a massive ash plume and sent some volcanic gases more than 65,000 feet into the air, about 25,000 feet higher than a commercial airplane will typically fly. The eruption’s potential impacts to weather and climate are starting to come into focus, even as the danger posed by the volcano persists and evacuations continue. While it is possible for volcanoes to have a short-term impact on the climate, Mount Ruang’s influence on the climate is predicted to be minimal.

Voyager 1

NASA engineers have received decipherable data from Voyager 1 for the first time in months after finding a creative solution to fix a communication problem aboard the most distant spacecraft in the cosmos. The 46 year old Voyager 1 is about 15 billion miles away, and has shown multiple quirks and signs of aging in recent years, most recently related to the flight data system’s telemetry modulation unit. Since November, Voyager 1’s flight data system had been stuck in a loop. The mission team received the first meaningful data about the health and status of Voyager 1’s engineering systems on April 20. While the team is still reviewing the information, everything they’ve seen so far suggests Voyager 1 is healthy and operating properly.

Ada County Deputy killed on Saturday (Idaho Statesman) An Ada County Sheriff’s Office Deputy was shot and killed in an incident on Saturday night which led to a Boise Police Officer shooting and killing the suspect later that night.

Mayor’s Youth Council helps Museum reorganize

The Oneida County Pioneer Museum has been working on a project to move materials from the mezzanine area to the newly remodeled top floor in order to allow more space for the collection to be displayed and organized. Last week, members of the Museum Board were joined by the Mayor’s Youth Council to make some major progress on the project.

The Mayor’s Youth Council, which was created by current Malad mayor Joan Hawkins, is finishing up its second year as an organization. According to Hawkins, “This year has been a huge success under the direction of [Youth Council President] Mathilde Dickerson.” The Council functions primarily as a service organization which allows students to gain experience working with municipal leaders and see the functioning of government in a practical way. Members serve terms of one year of service from May to the following April. They attend at least one City Council meeting, and perform at least four hours of service throughout each semester.

Earlier this year, the Youth Council served at the Crisis Center Dinner, and many of the same members helped with this museum project. The main service project for the Council this year was a Council Closet at Malad High School for use by Malad High School and Malad Middle School students in need. The Council held drives for food, clothing, and blankets. These items are in the closet for the use of any students who might need them. They can be picked up anonymously. The Youth Council has partnered with the Crisis Center, and the closet is run as

an outreach of the Crisis Center. With the food items, there are snack items, hygiene items like toothbrushes and other personal hygiene items, and there are coats, gloves, jackets, and blankets. The Council will keep an inventory of the closet and hold drives each Fall to replenish it.

The Council is also going to help with planting some planter boxes for the City, and perhaps the Community Garden.

Applications are being taken at this time for new members to replace the four seniors who will be graduating this year, Zion McCullough, Mathilde Dickerson, Kolton Cox, and Karlee Palmer. Myriam Teeples has already applied and is the first new member for the 2024/2025 year.

Hawkins remarks that “I am so impressed with these young people. They are so busy, but they always want to help. Besides school, many of them work, and all of them are active at Malad High School. They are excited about learning too. Last year Kolton Cox and Abbie Cox were the first members of the Malad City Mayor’s Youth Council to attend the AIC Annual Conference. This year we hope more students will be able to attend. It is a great experience that teaches the kids not only about city government, but also how to interact with others.”

For good examples of involved citizens who help keep the community running, members of the museum board are good choices. The Pioneer Museum is primarily focused on collecting, curating, and presenting the history of the Malad Valley. Care and attention to detail are critical to muse-

ums, and board members continually work to improve and refine their collection. The clearing of stored items from the mezzanine will help the museum achieve all of its aims, as it will help organize and make accessible the museum’s holdings.

Two storage rooms on the top floor have recently been remodeled by J.D. Thomas, and the shelves were put together by Board members Bill Lewis and Dave Gilgen. Dave Gilgen also made and installed a shelf and rod for hanging clothes. Board member Dotty Evanson led the project to sort and store the clothing and quilts. Other Board members on hand to help out were Janice Vaughan, Sarah Robbins, Hailey Sweeten, Joan Hawkins and Julie Willie.

Oneida County Quilt Guild—April

By Jill Vanderwood

Esther Emerson conducted the meeting. Our co-president, Brenda Daniels is on her mission.

The announcements are: The Oregon and Idaho Trail Center in Montpelier is holding a quilt show from May 25 to October 15. Entry is free.

The Brigham museum is looking for arts quilts.

For show and tell, Audrey showed placemats she’s making for Christmas gifts; Jolynn John made a bag for the farmers market and eyeglass cases; Mary Ellen finished her last quilt for her young nieces—where the children get to pick out the fabrics.

Jean made a casserole carrier and gifted it to Danese. She is also working on Quilts of Valor to give to retired veterans. Nyla showed a friendship quilt that she made with left over scrapes from the quilt club. Rosie, Sharon, Christine, and Jill also shared projects (I’m sorry if I missed anyone). Cindy is using her stash and finishing UFOs. She made an applique quilt and she learned how to make collage quilt—this is a technique where she glues fabric to a piece of paper and then quilts everything down, without sewing the pieces together. She loves it!

Sharon asked what kind of iron she should buy—Cindy asked if it’s for regular ironing or only for quilting. She recommended the Black and Decker all-purpose iron for everyday ironing or the Panasonic Cordless iron costing

about $80 if you only need the iron for quilting.

Esther said, “Quilting is a form of art and expression—ladies, we need to label our quilts, like an artist labels a painting.”

She also suggested that we make a quilt diary.

Esther taught a class on sewing machine maintenance.

Machine maintenance is like taking a car to a machinic. We need to do slight maintenance between services—for natural wear and tear.

Basic maintenance from a dealer is important every year to 1 ½ years. If you are using the machine frequently.

There are things you can do to keep your machine working well, between services. The goal is to clean out the lint that accumulates. Old thread, flannel or Minky fabric create more lint.

A good goal is to clean out your machine after every three bobbins, or when you change your needle.

Change your needle every time you start a new project.

Tool kit:

Brushes like a soft makeup brush that you haven’t used for makeup.

A stiff brush like a tiny bottle brush

A stiff brush like a small basting brush for cooking

A screwdriver—a short screwdriver with a short base. Esther recommends

that you have three, so you won’t lose them all. She bought hers for 80 cents online.

Machine oil with a telescoping oil bottle—machines need oil, especially if they are mostly metal. Look in your machine’s manual for instructions on oiling. Don’t take your machine apart. Only do what you are comfortable with. Do not use canned air, which is for computers—but you can use your vacuum cleaner.

JoLynn John made a farmer’s market bag

School District #351 Employee of the Month—

Tia Talbot

Tia Talbot was honored as the April “Employee of the Month” at the Oneida School Board meeting on Tuesday, April 16, 2024. Mr. Robert Hannah, Principal of Malad Middle School, read the following letter in support of Tia’s nomination:

“It is a pleasure to work with Tia Talbot. She is an outstanding teacher. Tia is a huge part of our school’s culture and positive climate.

FFA Welding

her 8th grade earth science students.

“Recently Tia also received the 2024 Idaho Youth Sports Commission GameChanger Coach Award. She does an outstanding job as our MHS and MMS cross country coach and MMS track coach. To get everything done that we ask Tia to do takes countless hours. I know that that our students benefit every day from Tia’s commitment to student learning and overall middle school experience.”

Superintendent Jon Abrams presented Tia with a copy of the “Starfish” story, a gift card to a restaurant, and a plaque that will hang in the District Office for the month.

School Board Report-April

The regular monthly meeting of the Oneida School Board was held on Tuesday, April 16, 2024. Tia Talbot was recognized as the April “Employee of the Month” and for receiving the 2024 Idaho Youth Sports Commission GameChanger Coach Award. (See accompanying article.)

Several members of the Malad High School FFA were present to report on their trip to State Convention. FFA Adviser Lexie Evans’ complete report of the trip was published in the April 18 edition of The Idaho Enterprise. The local chapter asked the School Board to consider their request to attend the National FFA Convention in October as two local students will receive the prestigious American Farmer Degree at that time. The Board will discuss the request at a future meeting.

The Board learned that four Malad students placed in the top 12 of the Idaho School Boards Association Photo Contest. Cassidy Schrenk from Malad Elementary School, Kyson Price and Samantha Schrenk from Malad Middle School, and Jaden Price from Malad High School had their winning photographs published in Slate, a publication of the ISBA.

Administrator Reports

Superintendent Jon Abrams gave a brief report on the financial status of the new school and ball fields. The money is in hand for completion of the projects with some modifications to the baseball/softball fields. Several seniors at Malad High School expressed interest in touring the new elementary building; that tour will be led by construction manager Jared Lusk. Jared is also working on the plans for remodeling the high school office area to provide better security.

Ms. Jeanie Reeder of Stone Elementary School reported that all students have shown growth in reading this year. Scholarships from Dan Cervantes and bikes provided by the Oneida Crisis Center will be presented to students who show the most growth on the IRI tests. The students will go to OSI (Ocean Star International) for a field trip to learn how the company raises brine shrimp from eggs harvested in the Great Salt Lake.

Ms. Sarah McIntyre of Malad Elementary School reported that the elementary school is seeking one new teacher and a school counselor plus several special education aides for next year. Over 200 people came for Family Bingo Night on April 11,

It’sMaladHighSchool GraduationTime!

which was a huge success. Testing has started, and lots of field trips are planned between now and the end of the year.

Mr. Robert Hannah of Malad Middle School reported that testing is underway and that attendance continues to be a problem. The 3rd quarter Armor Up assembly was held with approximately the same number of students earning rewards as in the first two quarters.

Mr. Dallin Rupp of Malad High School also reported that testing is underway. The high school received $500 from Blue Cross of Idaho to use in improving physical fitness and health. He realizes that better communication with staff is needed. Another problem is the use of phones and other distractions in classrooms as rules are not uniformly enforced.

Dr. Terri Sorenson of the Idaho Home Learning Academy also said that testing is ongoing. Enrollment for next year is approximately the same as at this time last year. Board members for the new charter school are being selected. There will be four IHLA graduation ceremonies this year: Treasure Valley, Coeur d’Alene, Twin Falls, and Idaho Falls.

Action Items

Two policies pertaining to open enrollment were approved. The handbooks for 2024-2025 were approved for Malad Elementary, Middle, and High Schools although some wording changes related to the dress code are needed in the MHS Handbook.

The following personnel were approved, pending their passing the State-mandated background check: Dallan Rupp as Malad High School principal; Joshua Smith as MHS assistant principal/athletic director; Abrielle Goddard as MHS head cheer coach; Kami Willie as MHS assistant cheer coach; Lizzy Clark Reiss as MHS volunteer girls soccer coach; Jamie Coatney as MHS office manager; Richelle Zitting as Malad Elementary School special education paraprofessional; Kristy Burmester as Stone School part-time cook; and three substitute teachers for IHLA. Resignations were accepted from Tansy Talbot as MHS office secretary and Nicole Daniels as MES school counselor. Because of a conflict with Seminary graduation, the next School Board meeting will be on May 14. The annual budget hearing will be held on May 28.

He instructed the students on scuba diving and oceanography before they got a chance to try out the equipment for themselves.

The site of the new Alice’s Beauty Shop was originally a beauty shop owned by Velda Jean Mulder before it became a real estate office, which Alice Moon remodeled. The new shop has been totally renovated: walls torn out, gutted, painted, papered and cement poured by Alice’s

husband, Rod, and a friend, Herman Baer. The sign, wrought iron was created by Linda Ivie.

The new tribal council of the Northwestern Band of the Shoshone Tribe was sworn into office in the Oneida County Courtroom on Saturday, April 17. There were seven members sworn in on the newly elected tribal council. Those elected were Gaitan (Guy) Martinez, Helen Z. Timbimboo, Gwen Timbimboo Davis, Tommy R. Panheco, Leland Pubigee, Shane Warner and Ivan A. Wongan. The reason the swearing-in ceremony was held in Malad was because of its location. The tribe members have offices in both Brigham City and Blackfoot, so Malad was chosen as a central location.

Malad High School’s Dragon Dreamhouse

By Mathilde Dickerson and Adi Schow

Happy Earth Day! On Monday, April 22nd, Lexie Evans’ Greenhouse Management class transplanted their pumpkin plants, which were first planted earlier in April. This semester, students in Mrs. Evans’ Greenhouse Management class have learned how to build a greenhouse, plant and transplant plants, and manage the business side of greenhouse operations. The students voted and decided to name the greenhouse the Dragon Dreamhouse, with the slogan “Life in the Greenhouse: Growing Minds and Growing Futures.” When asked what she loved most about teaching her Greenhouse Management students, Mrs. Evans stated that her favorite thing is “when the plants start to grow and the kids can actually see their work pay off… it’s not just a grade, but it’s physical proof of the work they’ve put in!” Mrs. Evans hopes that the future of the Dragon Dreamhouse will include hanging baskets, bedding plants (annuals and perennials), a larger variety of garden plants, and a Spring sale in 2025.

Lexie Evans emphasized that the greenhouse is a way of giving back to the community, so any suggestions of what to include in the greenhouse are welcome! Speak to Mrs. Evans or a Greenhouse student if you have any suggestions of what to include in the Dragon Dreamhouse.

Students Alexa Cram and Mary Moss were then interviewed, where they were asked what they like about the Greenhouse Management class. Mary Moss stated that she loves the “hands-on experience” and Alexa Cram said that she likes “that we can get our hands dirty.” When asked about what they’ve most enjoyed learning within the class, the two students replied that they have enjoyed learning about the business side of things. “I didn’t realize how many occupations and careers there are in that industry” remarked Alexa. Mary and Alexa are just two of many students who take Mrs. Evans’ Greenhouse Management class and love it. The class is unlike any other and provides an enriching experience for any student interested in plant science and greenhouse operations!

Change it up! That is good advice. Ever notice how the same old, same old, makes you old? There are some routines worth keeping, but even those need a little changing up at times. I took a little inventory the other day and decided I was boring. Up early, to bed early, following routines all day long. It was high time for a change.

Routinely, Mondays are lunch at Carla’s. They are great days, but we needed to get out of the house. It was time for a road trip, and we decided Snowville was our destination. We had two options for lunch: Mollie’s or the Ranch House Diner. On the way over the hill, we checked reviews when we could get cellular service and found that both places were good options…good food, friendly service. However, when we arrived the Ranch House Diner was closed, so we pulled into Mollie’s. I was kind of happy about that because I was in the mood for a cinnamon roll.

We strolled in, and were greeted with a cheerful, “Find a table and I’ll be right with you.” We did, and she was right with us. After surveying our lunch options and asking for our waitress’ advice we ordered. I think Mollie’s must contract with Russ Boyer because he came over

and chit chatted until our order was up. It seemed like there was no wait at all. I’ve heard Russ referred to as the Mayor of Curlew and Mollie’s must be City Hall because I noticed he just moved to another table when he left ours, presumably getting the pulse of the community. Well, let’s talk food. My fish burger and onion rings were excellent, no fishy taste at all. Carla had a combo basket with 2 shrimp, 2 chicken strips, 2 pieces of fish and fries. She couldn’t begin to eat it all and again everything was cooked to perfection. Rebecca’s BLT was delicious. Then we split a cinnamon roll three ways. They are huge. We should have stopped halfway through but couldn’t it was so good. So, changing it up is a good thing. If you haven’t been out west for a meal you might want to give it a try. I did learn one thing though, as we were eating a group of ranchers left and I asked Rebecca and Carla if they knew any of them. “Yes,” Rebecca replied, “the tall, thin one is Judd Daniels.” “Judd!” I hollered but he was gone. I always liked that kid. So, when you change things up, take it slow and notice what’s around you. If you don’t pay attention, you might miss something you wish you would have seen. Life’s Good on the other side of the hill.

Event Center has a new piano

A piano was delivered to the Oneida County Event Center last week so that music can more easily be part of programs at the Center. The piano, a lightly used Samick reconditioned by the Piano Gallery of Pocatello and Idaho Falls, was purchased with grant funds from the Bistline Foundation, which operates under the umbrella organization of the Idaho Community Foundation. Oneida County paid the small balance due on the piano. The piano will be tuned after its move and will be kept in the County

Commissioners meeting room until a more secure location is needed. It is on a dolly so that it can be easily moved although, as with all musical instruments, care must be taken to move it, and the protective covering should be over it when the piano is not in use.

The piano is for indoor use only at the Event Center. To use the piano for programs at the Event Center, please contact Shelby Gunter, the building scheduler.

The Dragon baseball team filled their week with games on their home field, going two for three in front of their favorite hometown fans. They claimed the win as they took on district opponent Soda Springs and the Firth Cougars that had beaten them earlier in the season. They fell to Wendell despite leading until the final inning.

The MHS baseball team made the game look easy as they took down the Soda Springs Cardinals Wednesday, April 17. Gathering three quick outs in the top of the first inning, they just as quickly put up a run to take a 1-0 lead in the bottom. After getting on base with a single to third base, Rydon Montgomery made his way around the bases to score as the Soda Springs pitcher committed a series of errors.

Back on defense in the second inning, the Dragons were led by pitcher Timmy Jensen who struck out two batters with Ryan Hubbard at first base managing the third. Turning the game back to the Malad offense, they extended their lead by runs. Sawyer Poulson hit a double to left field, batting in Cale Briggs from second base. Jensen followed with a single to center field.

With runners on first and third, Dawsyn Peterson stepped up to the plate to hit a fly ball to left field, punching in Poulson and Cael Seamons, courtesy runner for Jensen, to make the score 4-0. Peterson ran in the final score of the inning as Brady Showell hit a fly ball in second base territory.

The Malad defense continued to shut out the Cardinals in the third and fourth inning as they put three more runs on the scoreboard. Up 8-0, it wasn’t until the sixth inning that Soda Springs managed two runs.

Peterson led the Dragons in hitting, getting 1 run on 2 hits on 4 at bats, batting in 3 with zero strikeouts. From the mound, Jensen threw a strong 5+ innings, facing 25 batters, striking out 11, walking 1, allowing 2 runs on 8 hits. Hubbard came in to relief pitch in the final innings as Jensen neared his pitch count cap. Hubbard allowed zero runs, on zero hits while he struck out 3. Carter Blaisdell led the defense with putouts with 13, followed by Hubbard with 5, Montgomery with 2, and Easton Green adding 1.

Friday, April 19, Malad hosted Firth in their second matchup of the season. Not having played the Cougars before, the Dragons weren’t sure what to expect in their previous game and eventually fell 0-12. Now with experience on their side, they were well prepared to take on Firth and they proved that in just six innings.

Malad took the lead in the opening inning as Jensen and Seamons scored on a single hit by Green. Firth answered with a single run in the top of the second inning but the Dragon defense quickly shut down any further scoring opportunities as Showell struck out the final batter.

In the bottom of the third, Malad stacked up four runs despite two outs against them. Hubbard began the scoring as he singled on a hard ground ball to left field to send in Green. With the bases full, Peterson drove another single to left field, giving the chance for Briggs and Hubbard to add runs to the Dragon score. A final run for the inning came as Blaisdell was walked on with the bases loaded, sending Ky Willie in across home plate.

Try as they might, the Cougars couldn’t keep pace with the Dragon runs. Showell pitched another strikeout to open the fourth inning, followed by two outs in right field from Blaisdell. They did find some measured success in the fifth inning as they put up two runs. But any chance for a comeback was dashed as Malad pounded in six runs in the bottom of the sixth to put them up by 10.

It was the combination of a keen eye and a strong hitting game that allowed the Dragons to score run after run in what would be the final inning of the game. Kurt Ward watched patiently as Firth threw four consecutive pitches outside the strike zone. Hubbard, next in the lineup, hit a line drive to left field on his first pitch, putting up 4 hits on his 4 at bats, scoring 2 runs and batting in 2 others.

On his second pitch, Peterson was hit by the ball to send him on base and load the bases. Jensen was walked on base, sending Hubbard in for the score. Poulson stepped up to the plate next, to hit a double-bagger to right field to send Willie and Peterson home for two more runs. Showell walked on to load the bases once again before Montgomery hit a fly

It looked like the Dragons were going to sweep their home games for the week as they hosted Wendell in their second game of the season. Up 3-2 as they ended the sixth inning, the game was looking very different from the heavy loss they suffered on the Trojan’s field.

Converting their two hits of the inning into runs, the Trojans took a one run lead over the Dragons. Unfortunately, the Wendell defense got the best of the Malad hitters and they were unable to recover their lead, ending the game down 3-4.

More than halfway through the regular season, the Dragons are seeing great progress in all aspects of their game. From the mound the pitchers are honing in their game and building stamina to throw harder and longer in each game. From behind the plate, they are hitting stronger and more strategically to have more on base hits to convert into scoring runs. Before the month closes out, Malad will play three more games, traveling to Bear Lake on Wednesday, April 24, hosting American Falls on Saturday, April 27, and then taking on Snake River in Blackfoot on Monday, April 29.

MHS Track

One nice problem we have been having this year is that because the school has seen so many student athletes involved in Track, the results have been extensive enough to make it difficult to fit them easily into the print paper. While we work on a print solution, we will direct you to our Facebook page, where you can see for yourself the large list of results from MHS students. Again, it's a great problem to have,

but does create a new space problem. On April 18, the team competed at the Brad Matthews Invitational in Declo. On the 19th, the DirectCom Invitational was held at Davis Field in Pocatello, and on the 22nd, the Bear Lake Invitational was held in Bear Lake County. For full results of these three track meets, please visit our Facebook page at "Idaho Enterprise" and scroll through the listings for complete information.

In their busiest week ever, the Lady Dragon softball team has kept their winning streak as they advanced their record to 15-0-1. Hosting a midweek game against Soda Springs and their annual Scott Ray Tournament over the weekend, plus a Monday afternoon game at Declo, Malad has strung together six games over the last seven days. Their games ran the gamut of easy wins to the toughest games they had played this season.

The Lady Dragons made quick work out of the Cardinals as they played Wednesday, April 23, winning in just 5 innings. In the bottom of the opening inning, Malad stacked up an impressive ten runs to take a commanding lead.

Riglee Peterson started the scoring with a home run to left field, batting in Teagan Daniels on second base. Seniors Halley Horsley, Adley Kimberling and Kaitlyn Pickett followed with double baggers to eventually put them up 5-0. Brylee Oglesbee walked on base, scoring as Liddia Gonzalez hit a single line drive to center field. Bostyn Combs batted in Gonzalez for run number seven for the Lady Dragons with a ground ball to shortstop with Daniels putting up another base hit. Peterson, next at the plate, singled on a line drive to center field to bat in Combs and Daniels. Horsley finished out the scoring for the inning with a triple to right field to send Peterson in, making the score 10-0.

Malad’s defense kept Soda Springs scoreless in the first two innings before allowing four runs in the third inning, bringing the score 12-4. In the bottom of the fourth inning, the Lady Dragons added another five runs to their score, brought by a triple from Gonzalez, a single by Chloe Udy, a grounder by Anistyn Tovey, and a homer by Horsley.

After the win against the Cardinals, the Lady Dragons hosted their annual Scott Ray tournament, a two day event held in honor of the long time Malad Softball coach. The first game of the tournament for the Lady Dragons went up against the 2023 2A runner up, the Declo Hornets, a team that they played twice in the state tournaments. Like Malad, Declo came back strong for the 2024 season, graduating only their pitcher. With a new, strong pitcher, experience and talent,

the Hornets proved to be a difficult opponent.

The Lady Dragons allowed only one hit in the opening inning, getting outs by Horsley on first base off the assist from Shulz at shortstop, another out at first on a dropped third strike, and a strikeout by pitcher Peterson. Unfortunately, the Hornets snagged a run in the second inning off a home run, taking a lead they would hold onto until the bottom of the fifth inning. They extended their lead in the fourth inning with another three runs and capped it off in the fifth inning with four more to extend their lead to 8-0.

Struggling to convert hits to runs, the Lady Dragons found themselves down, and while they were frustrated they certainly didn’t count themselves out as they started into the bottom of what would be the final inning. Despite previous plate appearances ending in strikeouts or caught fly balls, Malad went to the plate with determination and focus, to pull out enough runs to tie the game.

First to bat in the lineup in the inning was Kimberling, hitting a single line drive to center field with a full count, a hit that single handedly changed the momentum of the game. Daniels stepped up next with another single to right field, sending Kimberling around to third base. Logan Maroney followed with another big outfield hit to bat in Kimberling for their first run of the game.

Finally hitting and making their way around the bases, the Lady Dragons began to settle into their groove. Fortunately, next in the line was Malad’s batter with the highest on base percentage, Pickett. With runners on second and third, Pickett slammed a hit over the fence to score three runs, bringing them to within four.

Oglesbee, another clinch hitter for Malad, hit a double to center field on her second pitch with Combs getting walked on base. Schulz, next to bat, smacked a fly ball to right field, sending Oglesbee across home plate for another Lady Dragon score. Combs followed with another score as Peterson hit a grounder to shortstop, unfortunately getting their first out of the inning.

Undeterred, Malad didn’t let the out stop their momentum. Watching closely from third base, Shulze found the opening she needed for a

run, scoring for the Lady Dragons on a wild Declo pitch to make it 7-8. Three plays later, Horsley put up a final run to tie the game, scoring as Maroney singled to left field. Tied at 8 in after five innings, the game timed out according to the tournament rules. It wasn’t how the Lady Dragons hoped to end the game, but with the tie they kept their undefeated streak alive.

With their toughest game of the tournament behind them, Malad dominated their remaining games of the weekend. Next on their docket after Declo were the North Fremont Huskies, a team they could potentially see at the state tournament. After both teams went scoreless in the opening inning, it was the Huskies that jumped to the lead after the second, going 0-2. But the Lady Dragon defense shut down any further scoring opportunities and began finding some for themselves.

Shulz and Oglesbee put up two runs in quick succession in the bottom of the third as slap hitter Hadley Summers hit a grounder to second base. Down the order two, Peterson hit a double-bagger to bat in Summers. Hitting a sacrifice fly, Pickett punched in Daniels at third and Gonzalez at first, courtesy runner for Peterson, to put Malad up 5-2.

Over the last two innings, the Lady Dragons extended their lead to 9-2 as the game was called after the first half of the sixth inning. Horsley led from behind the plate, putting up a homerun on 3 hits, batting in 2.

Peterson took to the mound against the Huskies, allowing only 2 runs on 6 hits over 6 innings, walking 1 and striking out 8. Catcher Maroney led with putouts, tallying 8 with Horsley at first base adding another 4. Peterson and Shulz both counted up 2 assists.

Saturday the Lady Dragons took on teams from West Jefferson and Green Canyon, allowing only a single run in both games. Slugger Horsley put another hit over the fence to help lead her team to the 16-1 win over West Jefferson. But it was a strong batting game all around as Combs, Daniels, Peterson, Kimberling, Maroney, Oglesbee and Shulz put up scoring runs.

With a final win against Green Canyon, 14-1, Malad closed out their undefeated weekend. Over the four games, the team tallied up 87 at bats,

Softball Stats

47 runs on 31 hits and only 12 strikeouts in 21 innings. The pitching crew of Peterson, Gonzalez and Combs faced 88 batters, threw a combined 325 pitches over 19 innings. Their opponents batting average was a dismal 0.244.

Taking only a single rest day, Malad hit the road to go up against Declo for a second go, this time on their home field on Monday, April 22. In an incredible turn of events, the Lady Dragons did nothing but outplay the Hornets as they put up 20 runs to their 8.

Unlike their previous game, the MHS team started putting up runs in the opening innings, going 10-0 in the bottom of the second. Both teams went without a run in the third inning before Malad added another four in the fourth. Attempting to come back, Declo had a strong run in the bottom of the fourth as they grabbed six runs of their own. But the Lady Dragons answered with another six runs to put their total to 20. Their defense held the Hornets to only two runs in the final innings before Horsley grabbed their final out on a caught pop fly in foul territory.

Speaking of their week full of games, Head Coach Bri Adams said, “We haven’t been super focused as we have played at home lately and that caught up with us when we played Declo Friday morning. In the last inning we could see the girls were frustrated but they didn’t give up and I was super proud. I reminded them that we had come back from being down and scored 8+ runs in an inning before. They just had to believe.” When it came to their second matchup, Coach Adams reminded them of those fundamentals that make for great hitting. “I told them to find the ball at the pitcher’s hip, focus on the seams and spin of the ball and then go after it.” That must have been just the words the needed to hear for such a change up against the impressive Hornet pitcher. The Lady Dragon softball schedule is beginning to wind down, but only slightly. This week they look to play district opponents at Bear Lake on Wednesday, April 24 and West Side on Friday, April 26. They will close out the week with a double header at home against Vs. Soda Springs Wednesday, April 17 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 R H Soda
