Fall sports might be long in the past, but recognition for the top coaches and players are still being awarded in the present.  The Idaho State Journal recently released the top voted players of the 3A All-State volleyball team that included a number of the Lady Dragon athletes  

The ISJ article stated, “Camie Tripp and junior setter Izzy Haycock were the 3A Co-Coach and Player of the Year, respectively for the Dragons.

“Tripp led them to a 31-10-1 record and a return trip to the finals where they walked away with a runner-up trophy for the second year in a row. Haycock, meanwhile, racked up 1,118 assists, 434 digs, 145 kills, 50 aces and 35 blocks.

“Brinley Clark (OH) and Riglee Peterson (L) followed close behind with their first-team selections. Liv Nelson (MB) was next with a second-team nod and Brynnlee Jones (OH) rounded it out for the Malad with her honorable mention selection.”
