After weeks of practice, film sessions, and even a live scrimmage against another team, the Knoxville Football Squad will finally get to play in a game that counts tonight. <!–more– The Panthers are trying to make it back-to-back trips to the class 3A playoffs, but first they must navigate through three very different opponents in non-district play. The first is Newton. Panthers Coach Eric Kellar tells KNIA/KRLS Sports he is confident his offensive line, which is very experienced, will make holes for the running backs. Kellar says the Cardinals traditionally are a run-oriented team, but he adds Newton threw the ball more than ever last season. He says with a new quarterback, he does not know what to expect in week one. You can hear the play-by-play on AM 1320 and 95.3 KNIA and streamed live at kniakrls.com with Derek Cardwell and Mike Cunningham starting with the pre-game show at seven.
