Knoxville Football Coach Troy Rider has been given the go-ahead to start raising funds for a new weight room and athletic training facility at Knoxville High School. Rider is trying to get a weight facility to improve the sports at Knoxville, and more importantly, upgrade the physical education curriculum at Knoxville. Rider says the weight program that he has in mind does not cater to one sport. His goal is to have a fully functional facility that has the latest in weight training and cardio equipment, plus an area of field turf that athletes can train in the off season.
