The Malad Dragon wrestling team wrapped up the regular season in dominant fashion, finishing 36–0 in dual meets and solidifying their status as one of the top teams in the state.
On Thursday, February 12, the Dragons traveled to Oakley for a triple-dual matchup and left no doubt about their momentum heading into postseason competition. Malad opened the evening with an 82–6 victory over Oakley, followed by an 81–6 win against Raft River, and capped it off with an 84–0 shutout of Valley, showcasing depth across all weight classes and consistent performance on the mat.
The day before, the Malad girls’ wrestling team traveled to American Falls where they wrestled well and demonstrated strong team effort, even though specific results are unavailable.

The girls’ district tournament will similarly take place Friday and Saturday in Preston, where the Dragons will aim to continue their strong performance and secure a spot at state.
Undefeated in duels and carrying strong momentum, both teams enter district competition with confidence and championship expectations. Fans can expect another high-energy weekend of wrestling as the region’s top athletes compete for bragging rights and postseason positioning.
