A little less than 36 hours from its first Little Hawkeye Conference game of the season, the Knoxville Boys Basketball Squad is getting ready for the season’s first matchup with rival Pella on Friday. If getting ready to play one of the top contenders in the conference is not tough enough, add in to the fact the Knoxville is learning a completely new system and way of playing. Coach Clint Driftmeier says the guys are doing a good job of grasping the concept of when to run and when to be patient. You can hear the play-by-play on AM 1320 KNIA with the pre game starting at around six and the girls game set to tip off at 6:15. Knoxville has been off since last Thursday’s loss to P-C-M.
