Rain washed out the Knoxville Softball game last night, so that means the Panthers will go from Saturday to Thursday before their next game. Knoxville is 15-7 on the season and will welcome Centerville, who is in last place in the South Central Conference and was an early season victim of Knoxville 16-1. The Panthers have been playing well the last couple of weeks and Coach Carla Smith tells KNIA/KRLS Sports along with the starting rotation, the bench players can come in and contribute each game.

Smith:
“I’m not afraid to put our bench players in because they’re as confident as our starters. I can count on Kalli Wilson, Tara Bacorn, Charlie Willis to step up and do what they need to do.”

Knoxville is looking to re-establish itself as a contender in the South Central Conference after getting off to a slow start this season. Tuesday’s game with Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont would have gone a long way, but was rained out and no word on a makeup date has been set. Knoxville will play Centerville Thursday night, you can hear that contest on 95.3 KNIA.
