AMERICAN FALLS — The Beavers got a hot start from their special teams, then coasted to victory over the Malad Dragons at home Friday night.

American Falls (3-1) jumped out to a 6-0 lead in the opening seconds when Tripp Wagstaff returned the opening kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown.

The backfield duo of Zak Grigg and Brian Lopez did the rest of the work for the offense, combining for three rushing touchdowns — two for Grigg and one for Lopez.

The Dragons are off next week before traveling to Soda Springs to take on the Cardinals (1-2), who are coming off a victory over Firth following the resignation of first-year head coach Colby Fangman.

The Beavers will be at Buhl (3-0) next weekend.
