Meet the Panther Night is slated to take place Friday evening. It will give Knoxville fans an opportunity to see the 2022 Panther varsity fall teams in action before their season openers next week.

The night opens up with the cross country team in action starting at 5 until 5:30 Friday night. The cross country team will run a two-mile race in the area of the Knoxville High School, the track, West Elementary and Knoxville Recreation Center.

The Panther volleyball team will scrimmage from 5:45 until 6:15 p.m. at the high school.

The Booster Club will hold a tail-gate at Ken Locke Stadium serving a meal with a freewill offering (suggested donation of $5).

The football scrimmage is set for 6:45 at Ken Locke Stadium.

Knoxville Athletic Director Ryan Paulsen says the Meet the Panther Night, “Is just a great way for people to come out and see our kids, kind of get a preview of what will happen this fall. It’s a great time of the year and a lot of anticipation for fall sports and the start of school.”

The night will also include the band and dance performances. An introduction of the teams is slated as well as an awards recognition ceremony.

Admission is free.
