My dad (who grew up in Malad) went to Wales when he was in his 30's for a business trip. He said he was surprised to see his exact HS mascot on the Welsh flag. "How did they not tell us that?"

lol shrewd. They certainly didn't have to license anything...

You just described every family reunion I went to in Malad. There are at least two of us here with ties to the great Malad City, ID. Me and Piney. Piney comes from athletic royalty there.

For Malad's sake I hope Utah never votes in the lottery, that little town would take a financial hit.

I'm imagining some Catholic Priest fresh from England having a Welsh baby put before him and being told that the name is Leuan Cadwaladr Dyfodwg, and the priest saying, "Nah. I'm not saying that. Let's go with something easier."

What is cooler-Welsh or Scottish Highlanders?

Both white trash, both responsible for adding to what eventually became US rural/redneck/hillbilly/mountain sub-culture and both intensely hate the English. Gotta be a tie and thank gawd for both.

Half the phone books in Wales are people with my last name.

I'm surprised as it is a very uncommon last name.

All of my grandfather's ancestors are Welsh.

Same. As you probably know, my last name is the Welsh spelling.

You know that Malad, just north of the border with Utah, became a haven for political malcontents/opponents of Brigham Young in the late 1860/70's. Brigham knew exactly how to deal with the situation-he sent in the Welsh. Problem solved.

Count me in. My grandfather also grew up in Malad.

Yeah, you’re definitely one of us.

My grandfather was from the small farming community of Samaria near Malad.

... the coaching hotbed of Malad, Idaho. He played under the legendary Terry Jones and is one of 3 of Terry's former players to already have won an Idaho State Basketball Championship- the other two are Terry's sons who coach at Preston and Rigby. From Ladell Anderson to Terry Jones to the great Shae Neal- the Malad Dragon Cradle of Coaches is legit! I know finally removing those angry short Welshmen from the potato famine allowed them to get a bit taller in Ol Oneida County, but it was a bit more than just proper nutrition and the spirit of the great and angry Dan Jones that fueled the legendary Terry Jones' collection of numerous state championships across 3 sports.
