The plan for the Knoxville Girls Basketball Squad for this next week will be to get better at the things that need work and probably some conditioning as well. Coach Matt Ritchhart knows that with the last several days off for the Christmas holiday, his girls will need to do a little bit of conditioning to get ready for part two of the season.

Ritchhart : “We go at it pretty much everyday with a few days off. It’s going to be a lot of emphasis on offense, getting a lot of shots up and they’ve gone two weeks without P-Fit so we’re going to work on cardio.”

The Panthers will head into undoubtedly their toughest part of the schedule when games resume. Pella visits January 3rd, a trip to Des Moines to play Newton, and class 2A #1 Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont after that.
