Murphy’s Law struck the Knoxville Boys Basketball Squad last night as anything that could go wrong did in a 67-41 loss to Grinnell heard live on 95.3 KNIA and the KHS Activities You Tube. The Tigers were unstoppable from inside and out and built an 11 point lead by halftime and increased it to 20 before Knoxville made a slight run to close the gap to 15 but the Tigers increased the lead up to the final margin of 26. Panthers Coach Troy Pearson told KNIA/KRLS Sports his team did not have the normal energy and drive.

Pearson: “I haven’t seen that yet this year, I go all the way back to the PCM game, and we were tentative, this was the first time that we just didn’t have it tonight.”

Landen Norris scored 12 points, all in the 4th quarter, to lead Knoxville who fell to 11-5 on the season and will get right back at it tonight with the girls against Albia. Live coverage is on 95.3 KNIA starting at 6:15.
