Since the start of the Football season, Bountiful has yet to play a Home game at home. According to Principal Travis Warnick, the school is “super excited” to finally play on its own field. “Woods Cross and Bountiful have been gracious to let us use their fields for our Home games, but we’re glad to be in our own house!” he said. “It’s like after a long vacation, it’s good to be at home in your own bed.” The team has been practicing on the field all week and are excited for the field’s premier game. There is a Pregame Tailgate party from 5 to 7 p.m. before the game. The food is free and everyone is invited.

Some Good News: Paul Richins loves riding in the Foothills above Davis County. Not too long ago a part of his favorite trail next to the Bountiful Lions Club Gun Range got washed-out and almost impossible to ride. So, he decided to get his shovel and wheelbarrow and repair it for others to enjoy as well. Happy trails to you, Paul!
