While others were sleeping late Friday night and Saturday morning, the Battle Mountain High School football team was wide awake at midnight to kickoff its first practice of the 2016 season. A small crowd at Tim Knight Field looked on as each JV and varsity player was announced and watched as the players went through drills. Battle Mountain travels to Spring Creek on Saturday, Aug. 20, for a scrimmage and opens the regular season in Las Vegas against The Meadows on Friday, Sept. 2. After a road game at Wendell, Idaho, on Friday, Sept. 9, the Longhorns make their home debut on Friday, Sept. 16 against Silver Stage.
