On Tuesday, September 3, Gattis 7th and 8th grade football players made history by playing their first-ever home game. In its 12-year history, Gattis has only used the football field for practice; all "home" games have previously been held at Norman Vohs Stadium at Yucca.

Braylon Weaver, the quarterback for the 8th-grade team, remarked, "It was different (playing at home) because seeing our school in the background made it more exciting."

Assistant Coach Patrick Harriman echoed his quarterback's sentiments: "It's exciting because it was the first time ever (to play on the field) and it allows our students to be in attendance and not have to travel to a 'home' game."

Harriman also noted that there was significant support at the first game with many parents, students, and teachers in attendance.
