Knoxville will be defending their home turf for the first time on Friday when they go up against Rushville-Industry at 7:00 PM. Knoxville have the odds in their favor, so they'll need to guard against complacency.
Knoxville had to kick off their season with an away game, and unfortunately wound up with a long bus ride home. It was close but no cigar for Knoxville as they fell 30-32 to Mercer County last Friday.
Rushville-Industry had to travel to play their first game of the season, and the final result was worth the trip. Everything went their way against Monmouth United last week as they made off with a 40-12 win. Rushville-Industry was expected to win, but the margin was definitely larger than the rankings had forecast.
Rushville-Industry's victory lifted them to 1-0 while Knoxville's loss dropped them down to 0-1. We'll find out if Rushville-Industry can add another positive mark to their record or if Knoxville can shake off the loss and take the spring out of Rushville-Industry's step.
