The Knoxville boys are preparing for the resumption of the season as the Panthers look to improve on a 1-6 record. If fans thought Knoxville had a tough schedule in the first seven games, Coach Brad McWilliams says the first three are no cake-walk either. Knoxville travels to Little Hawkeye Conference co-leader Pella tomorrow, then hits the road to Oskaloosa on Friday and turns around and hosts A-D-M Saturday afternoon who beat second ranked Carroll just before the break. McWilliams says the goal is to improve every time out, something he says did not happen in the first part of the season.
