While many of the teams this past school year at Knoxville did not get to taste the State Tournament, that does not mean it was not a successful school year athletically for the Panthers sports squads. Activities Director Ryan Paulsen tells KNIA/KRLS Sports he has been pleased with how the coaches lead and mentor the kids.

Paulsen: “Wins and losses and success are awesome and being competitive and that’s what you want. But just being in extracurriculars and coaches do an awesome job of preparing our kids for the next step.”

Knoxville fall sports have already started practice. Fans can get a first glimpse of the team on Meet the Panthers night on Friday August 18th starting at 5:15.
