In sports, a big key that contributes to the success of a program is momentum. At Pleasantville they are hoping to build momentum for every sports program with a great fall season. Trojans Athletic Director and Head Coach of the volleyball team Joel Allman believes that success this fall can be a catalyst for a great year at Pleasantville.

“Hopefully this fall can get things started with some successful fall, not only athletic seasons, but just all of our activities in general at Pleasantville. Hopefully we once again kind of get things going in the fall and then we hope that carries into the winter because we want our kids participating in things more than just in one season, so hopefully that just carries from fall success to winter success to spring, and we can just push that snowball down the hill and get it rolling.”

The fall sports season at Pleasantville begins on Monday with the cross country teams running in the Knoxville Early Bird Invitational at Pine Knolls Golf Club.
