If you participated last year, you know how much fun it was to be pitching in for a great cause, shoulder to shoulder with your friends and neighbors.

While Timberwolves football fans surely enjoyed the exciting win over Aiken Friday night, it was great to witness the future of the football program at halftime. The Bantam level kids got the chance to play a few downs in the big stadium for Youth Football Night. Thanks to all the coaches and the parents who support youth football from an early age. Judging from some of the passes, runs, and tackles I saw, we’ve got some talent coming to WKHS in a few years. The varsity team travels to play Gray Collegiate Academy tomorrow night at Spirit Communications Park in Columbia. Remember we’ve also got volleyball, tennis, and some track & field sports playing matches currently, check the full schedule of events at whiteknollathletics.com for more information on those sports.
