New Knoxville Football Coach Troy Rider has created a new opportunity for the fans to get involved this season with the Panthers. It’s called the Knoxville Panthers Football Pillar Club. Rider says this is a way to recognize kids on the team that have good character. He adds he wants the players to be play-makers on and off the field. He is asking for the community’s help by either donating coupons or gift cards or funds for college education. All Proud Pillar Club members will be spotlighted at football games, various community activities and events.
