Malad High School Dragons Win Titles, Strengthen Community Through Sports

Malad High School’s girls basketball team captured the 2026 District 1st place title, giving the Dragons a visible recent success that draws attention to how the school’s athletic programs function day to day.

The achievement matters because the school runs every team under the same eligibility standards and conference structure, which keeps participation steady and gives families a predictable way to stay involved in Malad City life.

Eligibility Standards Guide Daily Operations

Every student who wants to compete must hold at least a 2.0 GPA, pass every class with a 70 percent mark, remain enrolled full time and complete a required IHSAA physical exam. These rules are applied uniformly across football, basketball, volleyball and the other sports the school fields, so coaches and parents know exactly what is expected before any season begins.

The same standards apply whether the team is boys or girls wrestling, track and field, cross country, baseball or softball. By keeping the bar consistent, the athletic department avoids confusion and lets students move between sports without new hurdles.

Broad Sports Menu Supports Year-Round Involvement

The Dragons compete in District 5 and the Southeastern Idaho Conference as a 3A public school. The offered sports include football, boys and girls basketball, baseball, softball, volleyball, boys and girls wrestling, track and field, cross country, girls soccer and tennis. This list gives students multiple entry points during the school year and spreads activity across different seasons.

Because the same eligibility checklist covers every sport, families can plan around one set of academic and medical requirements rather than learning separate rules for each activity. The result is wider participation that keeps school events filled throughout the calendar.

Coaching Continuity and Recent Results Anchor Community Interest

Brady Price leads the football program. The team earned a playoff berth in the season before 2025 and is working toward further progress in the current cycle. The girls basketball title in 2026 adds another concrete marker that residents can follow.

These outcomes are tracked through the same eligibility framework that governs every other team, so the community sees both the standards and the results in one place. The combination keeps local attention on school events without requiring separate explanations for each sport.

Students and families who meet the academic and medical requirements can step into any of the listed programs, giving the athletic department a reliable way to maintain steady rosters and regular community gatherings around games and meets.
