FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS ARE BACK IN VAQUERO COUNTRY AND IT'S YOUTH NIGHT!
This Friday, the Fernley Vaqueros return HOME to take on the Lowry Buckaroos in an exciting Northern Nevada showdown!
But this Friday is about more than just football. It's about TRADITION, COMMUNITY, BROTHERHOOD, AND THE FUTURE OF VAQUERO FOOTBALL, CHEER, AND DANCE!
We're excited to welcome our youth football players, cheerleaders, and dance camp participants as they get the opportunity to experience Friday Night Lights alongside our high school athletes!

ONE COMMUNITY. ONE PROGRAM. ONE VAQUERO FAMILY.
The young athletes running onto that field Friday night are the future of our program. Someday, they'll be the ones wearing the orange and black, representing their community, and carrying on the proud traditions of Fernley Football.
The next generation of Vaqueros starts HERE!
We encourage our entire community to pack the stands, bring the noise, and help us create an atmosphere these young athletes will never forget!
LET'S PACK THE HOUSE, CELEBRATE OUR FUTURE, AND DEFEND OUR HOME TURF!
