I’ve said it before but it bears repeating, there are other sports going on at the high school level right now besides football. White Knoll High School teams in action this week include the co-ed varsity swimming team in a conference game vs Dreher and Spring Valley at Woodlands Country Club in Columbia; Co-ed varsity cross country has a Saturday meet in Spartanburg; girls varsity golf plays Sept. 16 vs Dutch Fork at Mid-Carolina Country Club; girls varsity tennis plays at Lexington Tuesday at 5 pm; and girls JV and varsity volleyball plays at Lexington Sept. 17. Get out and support our Timberwolves teams wherever they are playing.
