Farmington Knights FB Staff Feel Plentiful Returning Cast Could Be Valuable

Jared PettusAugust 9th, 2023KFMO Sports News

(Farmington, MO) For the Farmington Knights it’s a different story than most programs this time of year. They return a majority of the Varsity starters. A young team last year that lost 7 games, the most since 2014. But Knights Head Coach, Erik Kruppe says last year’s youth may be beneficial this year.

Kruppe adds the staff likes the offensive team they bring this year.

And on the Defense?

The Knights open the season at home against the North County Raiders on Friday, August 25th in a broadcast match on AM 1240 KFMO. How are they preparing for Week 1?
