With a lot of young talent coming back from last season the Knoxville Boys Basketball Squad is learning they have a lot of options of who the Panthers can put on the court. Coach Troy Pearson says it is a day-to-day learning experience of who can be the best five on the court come Tuesday night at PCM. Pearson adds it puts a little more pressure on the players to perform in practice knowing that their starting or even playing minutes are not guaranteed.

Pearson: “It even varies from day-to-day. They’re teenagers, so they may have an off night in practice and that shuffles the line up around. It does put a lot of pressure on those guys, but I think it’s a good pressure.”

The Panthers will open up Tuesday night against PCM, that game is the season opening broadcast on 95.3 KNIA.
