Malad Invitational

Malad won the nine-team Malad Invitational tournament Saturday in Malad. The Dragons came from behind to defeat Nampa Christian in the championship match, 16-25, 25-16, 15-12.

“They’re a solid team,” said Dragons coach Camie Tripp of Nampa Christian. “I was looking forward to seeing them play. We know that we’ll likely be seeing them at the state tournament if everything goes as we hope. It was a good opportunity to see them as well as other top teams from the 2A classification.”

The Dragons downed the Trojans earlier in the double-elimination tournament, 25-18, 25-23. Malad also took down Declo (25-14, 25-13) and West Jefferson (25-11, 25-6) in pool play and defeated West Jefferson (25-7, 25-12) and Preston (25-22, 25-23) to reach the championship match.

Taber Paskett and Hanah Peterson led the offense with 43 and 35 kills, respectively. Lindsay Sorensen scooped 37 digs, Rylee Tripp led the defense with 16 blocks and Paytin Tripp chipped in six aces, 13 blocks and 140 assists.

Malad (26-4, 5-0 2A District 5) plays Thursday at Aberdeen.

Snake River scored two goals in the second half to break a 1-1 tie and pull off a 3-1 victory over Malad on Saturday at home.

Snake River (8-5, 5-1-1 3A District 5) hosts Marsh Valley on Tuesday.

TETON 6, MARSH VALLEY 5

Marsh Valley was defeated 6-5 by Teton on a last-minute goal Saturday at home.

Ty Case and Colbey Shurtiff scored a goal apiece to put the Eagles ahead 5-4 in the second half, but Marsh couldn’t hold onto the lead.
