MALAD CITY — After seeing their comeback attempt in last year’s 3A State Championship game fall just short, the Malad Dragons accepted the heartbreak of defeat. Having already secured a second consecutive conference championship, Malad finished its regular season Wednesday night by overwhelming the Soda Springs Cardinals (8-12, 5-3), 52-22. They did a good job of that Wednesday, with senior Brynnlee Jones knocking down a 3-pointer to open the scoring. Haycock, though, was the one interrupting passing lanes, finishing her senior night with a six-point, five-rebound, four-steal performance. His team, Jones continued, has broken the season into four stages — they have concluded the non-conference “preseason” and now the conference season.
