A lot of things contributed to the Knoxville Football Squad falling below expectations this season. One major reason was the rash of injuries to key players. Coach Eric Kellar tells KRLS Sports it was especially bad this season and likely one of the worst seasons for injuries he has ever dealt with.

Kellar:
“I don’t know of any other team after talking with friends of mine that coach. We have four guys at one time either playing on one leg or hobbling around. They said I’m playing unless the doctor tells me I can’t.”

The Panthers finished with a 1-7 record this season with their only win in week two over Keokuk.
