Vandals return to field friday

Eureka County High football coach Fred Minoletti talks to his team during a timeout in a home game against Carlin last year. The Vandals, who finished the 2014 season 7-4 overall, open up the season Friday night at Sandy Valley. The Knaights finished 6-4 last year, and like Eureka, were bounced from the playoffs in the first round. The non-conference opening season matchup between the two schools is set to kick off at 6 p.m.
