In the break between the Knoxville Boys Basketball Squad’s last game a week ago against Newton and their next game January seventh against Norwalk, one thing that will be stressed at practice is competing. Coach Jeff Larson tells KNIA/KRLS Sports along with the starters, the rest of the team will have a hand at making the team better. Larson says the starters have done a good job, but added they need to raise their play to another level. Knoxville has a tough stretch to start January with a road game against Norwalk on the seventh, then three straight home games against Pella, Pella Christian, and Dallas Center-Grimes.
