Dragon Wrestling

The wrestling season has begun for the Malad Dragons--returning State Champs, yes, that's right, Malad High School took state last year as a team. Even though Kyle was still recovering he was there to support them and he was still considered part of the team. This year, Kyle started off strong by getting a pin on his first match. The next one he lost---but if you ask Kyle--you win some and you lose some. The next match-up was at the Malad Invitational. Kyle took 3rd place in the 119 weight class. He was very excited. He tried his hardest and it was great to see him on the mat again and enjoying it so much. We are so proud of how far he has come over the last year. Last year on this day, December 22nd, we had our second surgery fixing the hip fracture and broken pelvis. We had nearly lost him a couple of times and he was still on a vent. But, let's look on the bright side...he is still here with us and knows that he has a purpose here. We love our "baby boy" very much. We still call him our baby boy, even though he just turned 18. Keep going strong Kyle...we love you and are so proud of all your accomplishments!!!
