The Knoxville Boys Golf Squad is back at the State Meet for the fourth straight year. Each season, the Panthers have improved their standing with their best showing last season getting state runner-up. Senior Evan Smith tells KNIA/KRLS Sports it has been fun to watch the program grow to not just a state contender, but a program that can challenge for a state title.

Smith: “It just shows that this program is trending upwards. It just shows that the guys are putting in all the hard work and making Knoville a golf program.”

The Panthers will play at the Veenker Memorial Course on Monday and Tuesday. Find an interview on kniakrls.com, and listen for updates Monday and Tuesday from the State Golf Meet on KNIA/KRLS.
