Looking to pull the surprise, the Knoxville Boys Soccer Squad will travel to Johnston to take on class 2A #5 Dallas Center-Grimes in the substate semi-final. The Panthers routed Grinnell on Thursday 5-1 and look to take down one of the state’s top teams. Dallas Center-Grimes earned the #1 seed in the substate and had a bye into the semi-finals. Panthers Coach Dylan Mick tells KNIA/KRLS Sports the Mustangs pride themselves on defense so his team is looking to keep them out of the net and force DCG into mistakes offensively.

Mick: “That’s our plan, we’re focused on the defense and see if we can keep them out of the net maybe steal a goal or two and just roll with it that way.”

Monday’s match will get started at 5:00 with the winner coming back Wednesday against either Newton or North Polk.
