Volleyball and Cross Country are both in action today for Knoxville. The Volleyball Squad will head to Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont. The Rockets are currently ranked #10 in class 3A and are 12-2 and are 1-0 in the South Central Conference. Knoxville is 5-4 but have lost its first two conference matches by a 3-2 count after holding a 2-0 advantage. Meanwhile the cross country squads will head to Osakloosa. The Panthers will see each South Central Conference squad except Clarke. Boys Coach Michael Splavec tells KNIA/KRLS Sports it is a great opportunity to see what the conference teams will have to get a chance of where his team stacks up.

Splavec:
“5 of the 7 teams will be there, so it’s kind of a pre-pre conference meets to see what they have and see if we can gain some spots and see what the future holds for us.”

The volleyball match is scheduled for 7:15, and the cross country meet at Edmunson in Oskaloosa is set to start at 5:00.
