Another reason for the first winning season in over a decade for the Knoxville Volleyball Squad this year, was the girls were a year older and had a lot of experience playing on varsity last year. Coach Mollie Keitges tells KNIA/KRLS Sports, she could see how much more mentally tough the girls were this year compared to last season. Most of the team will be back for next season. Keitges adds the goals will be much of the same for 2019…but a more narrow focus. The Panthers finished with a 17-15 record.
