The end of summer vacation is quickly coming to a close and as a sign to that, high school football practice began last week in Nevada. The Battle Mountain football team got on the field for the first time last Wednesday. The Longhorns are coming off a state semifinal appearance in 2018 and look to be competitive in a wide-open 2A league this year. The JV team opens against White in West Wendover on Aug. 30 and the varsity squad hosts Silver Stage on Sept. 6.
