Caldwell High School administrators are now actively seeking to take the win away from Emmett High School in what appears to be an attempt to persuade the Emmett community to socially punish Ammon & his family for non-compliance to their demands.
October 2, 2020
Friday evening, Ammon Bundy & his family went to watch their son and brother play football at Caldwell High School. They were denied access into the football stadium because of a masks policy. The family moved far away from the ticket booth and began to watch the game from the parking lot. Ammon went back to the ticket booth and offered to pay for full admission to watch the game outside the stadium fence, he then returned to his family. The family did nothing to bring attention to the situation, they only wished to watch and support their son and brother playing in the game. Caldwell High School administrators would not allow Ammon or his family to pay for or watch the game from the parking lot. Caldwell Police were called in to remove the family from the property but they refused to enforce the will of the Caldwell High School administrators because the family was not causing a disruption or posing a threat to anyone. Ammon & his family were peacefully watching the game outside the stadium fence from the west parking lot. Out of desperation to enforce their demands, Caldwell High School administrators ended the football game at halftime. The reason given to Ammon and his family was, "They would not comply with their (the administrators) demands". Emmett High School was winning 35-0.

Friday’s nights game had to be postponed because of the tragic loss of a loved teammate that morning. Putting their emotions together the Emmett Huskies battled ValliVue High in a bitter cold contest of will. In the end Emmett scored on a long pass and shut the Falcons down by recovering a fumble and then running down the clock. 21-17 was the final, but both teams have nothing to hang their heads about.
Congratulations Huskies, 4A Conference Champions!
