Even with the pause in activities for both the Knoxville Boys and Girls Basketball Squads, both Panthers teams are currently atop the South Central Conference. Both are 3-0 and have sole possession of 1st place at the break. The girls will have a showdown the first night back on January 5th when Centerville comes to town. The Reddetts are predicted to give Knoxville its best challenge to winning the conference for a fourth straight season. The boys will also get a challenge soon after break with a January 8th contest at Albia, which is likely the first of two showdowns for conference supremacy.
