team-13

The Knoxville Girls Basketball Squad is back on the court again with another road trip. The Panthers head to a familiar opponent from the past, Van Meter, who was on the schedule from 2019-2021. Coach Matt Ritchhart wanted Van Meter back on the schedule knowing Knoxville will likely be a 3A girls basketball school in a few years and is trying to get like size opponents for non-conference. Ritchhart adds it is another situation that Van Meter brings back a lot from last season.

Ritchhart: “They’re always solid and same thing with PCM and Ottumwa they bring back a lot. I wanted them on the schedule after I felt we had to play the Bondurants of the world. It’s a good game to have and I hope it’s a good game.”

The Panthers are 0-1 after losing to PCM last Tuesday. Tonight’s game is live on 95.3 KNIA starting with the pregame at 5:45.
