It’s never easy receiving less than exciting news to start the week. I know
@KnoxCollegeFB
and other
@KnoxPrairieFire
athletes will rise to the challenge of handling this adversity, and come out stronger than ever. That’s what makes
@KnoxCollege1837
a special place!

7 days until

arrives on campus! It’s been too long since I’ve heard bad puns, annoyed players with Taylor Swift Tuesday, and hurt feelings in NHL on PS4!

Felt like I’ve been
@ttggraham
personal coach since he’s been on campus. Great leader, hard worker, always striving to improve... but pretty poor NHL player

Our first year players ended the first day of practice last night by playing some games with all of our assistant coaches in

Stand with and stand up for your family/friends/co-workers/neighbors and treat them with the respect they deserve! I may not have the same experiences as others but my ears and my heart are open to you. Missing the Knox football family right now, love you all

Ty was due for a big senior season. 2 things I learned about Ty: get out of his way during QB/RB mesh and the guy know a lot about the deadliest animals list!

Talk about a guy who has taken his senior leadership role seriously! Has been a part of every QB and WR meeting. Great example for our freshmen

#FireRising
A tremendous leader and hard worker. Great example of a guy who goes 100% on the field and classroom... (also has some great facts about physics if you are interested)

Congrats to Derrick Jackson once again! Ending his season 5th in the 100m and 6th in the 200m in the NCAA D3. Congrats on a heck of a year.

If you work hard for your players, your players will work hard for you.
If you treat your players with respect, your players will respect you back.
If you practice what you preach and lead by example, your players will follow you.
head coaches to think:
How do you treat your players?
How do you treat your staff?
Do you have a real passion?
What time do you show up?
ARE YOU COACHABLE?
ARE YOU A GOOD PERSON?
Do you seek and absorb information?
Do you train (learn) in the offseason?
Do you try and learn?
Athletes: Answer these ?’s:
How do you treat teammates
How do you treat staff
Do you have real passion
Do you show up on time
Do you compete
Are you coachable
Are you a good person
Do you seek & absorb knowledge
Do you train in the offseason
Do you practice before/after practice
🚨 SCHOOL RECORD 🚨
DJack takes the win and breaks the Knox school record in the 200m 📀🔨

Arthur Anthony Jr. ’24, a football player for the Prairie Fire, finds a perfect balance between academics and athletics at Knox College. Leveraging the Bastian Family Center for Career Success, he is preparing for a seamless career transition. Read more:
Infectious personality combined with unlimited potential. Led the defense in snaps, but more impressed with how much he wanted to improve every week. Any team would be lucky to add

! Go where you are wanted, buddy!
Knox DB Colin Finnigsmier (
@finnigsmier8
) is a top 50 transfer defensive back out of Division III. The 6'0" CO-native immediately assumed a starting role as a true freshman, tallying 48 tackles with 2 interceptions.
61 points is prob a pretty decent game.. but try having 61 minutes of ice time or 84 saves in a single game! NHL playoffs are a special time no matter the month. Gonna be tough to beat a 5 OT nail biter

#5Overtimes
What a game! Game 7 headed to OT.. after 2 late 3rd period goals and a buzzer beating save! Two more Game 7’s left in the next 24 hours. I expect no less from hockey in September
