One of the biggest days of the year for the alumni of Knoxville High School is coming up in just over two weeks, as the Knoxville High School Athletic Hall of Fame prepares to induct the Class of 2019.

Friday, January 18th is the day for two major events honoring this year’s inductees; the first is the annual luncheon, from noon to 1:00 p.m. at the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame and Museum.

Volleyball standout Ann Davis-Kuentsling, all-state football center Ben Willets, all-state basketball player John Carle and former girls basketball coach Derald Swisher will be recognized, and guests will hear their stories about life during and after their time with the Panthers.

Then the formal ceremony will take place that evening, as part of a doubleheader of basketball at the Knoxville High School gymnasium.
