While the season does not officially begin until Tuesday, the Knoxville Girls Basketball Squad already has a four-quarter game under its belt. The Panthers joined Ottumwa on Tuesday in an Iowa Hall of Pride Exhibition Game. Coach Jim Uitermarkt tells KNIA/KRLS Sports how that game came to be. Uitermarkt adds the girls decided their service project would be to collect food and non-perishables for the new Panther Food Pantry at the high school. The girls are also going to get into the act by doing a surge in the Knoxville Community on Saturday December 15th from 10-11am. If you need the team to stop by your house to pick up non-perishables call the middle school and arrange a pick up on that day.
