Longhorns Football Home Opener

Rosthern Longhorns, a combined RHS-RJC football team, held their first game of the season hosting the Hafford Vikings. The Longhorns team is a good blend of experience and young players who together put together a good showing defeating their opponents 74-0.


The weather did not cooperate for the season opener, and the game was played on a wet field under overcast and rainy skies. This did not dampen the enthusiasm of the fans who came to watch.
