While High School wrestling is officially over, Brothers of Steel wrestling is still in full swing for the young wrestlers of Malad.  The athletes traveled to wrestling tournaments around the country, demonstrating just how tough Malad Dragon Wrestling is. 

Heading to the midwest, Bentley Maddox and Drake Morrison represented Malad as they wrestled at the World of Wrestling Youth National Duals held in Tulsa, OK.  The dual tournament held March 2-3, hosts the top wrestling teams from all across the country.

Maddox wrestled for Firebird Elite 9u and ultimately went undefeated over the three day tournament.  As if winning all of his matches wasn’t exciting enough, Maddox took a personal victory as he won the intense rematch against an extremely tough wrestler he had previously lost to the last time he wrestled in Tulsa. Maddox was awarded his team's Outstanding Wrestler belt as well as a gold medal for being undefeated. The Firebird Elite took 3rd Place in the 9u gold bracket. 

Drake wrestled for POWA 14u, also going undefeated throughout the tournament.  On his path to victory, he defeated a tough Utah High School State champ in his first match of the tournament. POWA took 2nd Place as a team in the 14u bracket.

Dragon wrestling coaches shared, “The youth program has been a huge success this year with the amazing support from our high school wrestlers and their families.

“The little league program is a fundraiser for the high school program and is a great opportunity for the young wrestlers in Malad to learn the basics of wrestling. Thank you to everyone that has helped make this year's program a success.”
