Historically polygamous community in Utah holds its first-ever high school football game

The town of Hildale has rallied around the team as a way to move forward, away from its polygamist and fundamentalist past.

(Trent Nelson | The Salt Lake Tribune) Water Canyon High School football players prepare for their school's first football game in Hildale on Friday, Aug. 12, 2022. Sports were banned in the former polygamous community of Fundamentalist Latter-Day Saints, but now a changed town is embracing new traditions.
