BOISE, Idaho (CBS2) — The Emmett-Vallivue football game scheduled for Friday night was delayed after an Emmett High School student passed away earlier that day.
“It’s a very sad day here at Emmett High School,” Emmett Principal Wade Carter said. “We appreciate Vallivue’s sensitivity to this. Our main concern today is the mental health of our students and staff as well as the privacy of our families.”
The game will be played at 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 24 at Vallivue High School.
In a message to students and parents this morning, Carter said: “We are saddened by this and ask that you keep the student’s family in your thoughts today and that we respect the family’s privacy.”
Emmett High School is providing counselors available to talk with students and staff. The state also has a hotline for people to talk about situations like this: 208-398-HELP (4357).
The school did not provide details on the death.
