The Coy Hupfeld era is set to begin Monday for the Knoxville Softball Squad. The Panthers will travel to Newton to get their 2018 summer underway. Knoxville is coming off a 12-and-15 season where the Panthers lost their coach halfway through the season. The Panthers bring back their top four hitters from last season…and the pitching staff is a year older. Including Reilly Finarty…who as an eighth grader went six-and-nine in 79 and two/thirds innings striking out 36 batters. Monday’s game is scheduled to start at seven-30.
