  • Vandals win season-opener against Ramsey

    VANDALIA - The Vandals made an offensive statement in a season-opening win against Ramsey.

    Vandalia scored consistently throughout the win against the Rams on Friday, but too many walks and errors allowed Ramsey to keep within striking distance in the 16-11 victory.

    Coach Luke Hohlt said after the game that there were lessons to be learned, and that he believes the players who made mistakes today will grow from them as the season moves along.
