All-America

 

 

"In an effort to put the best football players together that the Treasure Valley has to offer, former rivals the Idaho Matadors and Boise Speed will merge into one program.  The main reason for the change is to build a team that is capable of competing and winning in the Rocky Mountain Football League AAA division."  The resulting team was the Treasure Valley Spartans.

 

In 2010 the Matadors were "resurrected" after playing as the Spartans for 2009.

 

The Matadors moved to the ICFL in 2016.

 

In January 2017 the Idaho Tribe of the ICFL initiated a merger that brought the entire staff and contracted players into the Tribe organization, already 3-time Champions going back to the 9-man days.
