The Knoxville Bowling Squads were young this season. Just two seniors between the boys and girls but that did not stop the Panthers from contending in most of their meets this season. Coach Shaun Renard tells KNIA/KRLS Sports knew the scores may be lower this year, but their hard work and improvement was the most impressive thing he noticed about his team.
Renard:
“The talent we lost last year and the kids we had returning this year, we knew the scores wasn’t going be as high, but I’m proud of what the kids accomplished and what they did to end the year.”
