Our thoughts are with the Isaacson family after the passing of Jimmy. Jimmy was a great coach, a great man, and a mentor to many young men at Knox and in the Galesburg community. The lives he touched are better for him being in them. We will miss him dearly.
Absolutely devastated for this amazing group of seniors. This group has shown class on and off the field and become great men. The leadership they have provided for our underclassmen will live on for a long time. It’s not goodbye, it’s see you later.

Two-sport athlete Kobe Shutter played the game hard and was an outstanding hitter and pitcher. He played multiple positions throughout his career, but kept on working. We will miss his grit, intensity, and leadership.
Thank you Kobe!
Two-sport athlete Brendan Powers led with his every action. He selflessly played both middle infield spots and batted in many spots in the order. We will miss his work ethic, passion, and leadership.
Thank you Brendan!
Zane Huffman, lefty with the funky delivery was huge for us on the mound and the campus tour circuit. We will miss his quirky personality and sense of style that made him a hit all over campus.
Thank you Zane!

Thank you to our seniors Jacob Verduin, Braden Ogden, Brayden Bathgate, Ira Moore, and Tucker Sams who played their last game in the purple and gold on Sunday. Good luck in your future endeavors, we’ll miss you!
Unconventional leadoff hitter Juston Woodard set the table with his high energy at bats and smooth movements. He played a great right field and had a good arm as well. We will miss his energy, leadership, and enthusiasm.
Thank you Juston!
Congratulations to our Academic All-Midwest Conference recipients! Proud of you for finishing the year strong with all that was thrown at you this spring!
Tristan Hannah is an excellent leader, on and off the field. He made the transition to pitcher as a senior and was poised for a huge season. We will miss his steady presence on the diamond.
Thank you Tristan!

Dropped the ball on this one: Senior Paul Sanders broke the school record for stolen bases with his 47th on March 29. He now has 59 career steals and counting. Congrats

Trevan Lowtharp was always upbeat and played with passion. He was just coming into his own as a center fielder, after primarily pitching his first three seasons. We will miss his unique personality.
Thank you Trevan!

Even though we only got Zach Lowe for a few weeks after the basketball season, this tall righty made an immediate impact. We will miss his intensity and will to win.
Thank you Zach!
Brady Sember was a grinder that made the most of his abilities in every facet. He played multiple positions and was always team first. We will miss his work ethic and jack of all trades mentality.
Thank you Brady!
Crafty lefty Andrew Ponce was a steady presence on the mound. He gave us a chance to win every time he toed the rubber. We will miss his work ethic and outstanding leadership.
Thank you Andrew!
The baseball game on February 23 has been moved to February 21 so we are only 3 days away from baseball season! We will play a doubleheader starting at noon against Greenville at the SIU-Edwardsville baseball field on Thursday.
Today we begin a two week effort to spotlight our spring senior student-athletes! This group has been outstanding over the last four years. Thank you for all you’ve done for Knox Athletics!

Great day at the Blodge, split with Spoon River winning 6-4 and losing 10-7. Jason Clark finished 4-for-5 with 4 RBI, 3 BB, and a HBP. Andrew Garrett and Thomas Wilmot both added 3 hits on the day.
We're rapidly approaching the start of the 2023 season, so It's time to introduce some of the newest Prairie Fire Baseball players, starting with Josh Notini and J.T. Schoessel!
Great night as we put Drake Sykes ‘17 into the Knox-Lombard Hall of Fame. Drake was a 3x All-American and led the nation in batting average and on base percentage his junior year. Congrats Drake!
