• Preston's high school football team falls short at Emmett (hjnews.com) — Preston High's football team dropped its second game of the 2026 season at Emmett, 47–21, despite repeatedly driving deep into Huskies territory. Missed red-zone chances, key injuries, and a big night from Emmett's quarterback proved decisive, but Preston's passing attack showed promise with several long completions and contributions from younger receivers.
