## Caption

The football team kicked off the 2025 season this morning with the annual Blue-Gray Scrimmage at House Park. The Knights have been practicing this summer at House Park due to turf construction on the McCallum practice field, and will continue to travel to the stadium for practice in the fall. However, the Knights don't completely escape construction at House Park as the stadium is under construction too.

Those at the game this morning might have noticed a fresh coat of gray paint on the concrete below the bleachers, as well as the absence of a press box on the visitors' side of the stadium. House Park received $6 million in the 2022 Bond, the same package responsible for turf upgrades, to construct a new two story press box and for additional upgrades to restrooms and concessions. 

Construction isn't the only change the football team faces this year -- the varsity team lost 24 players to graduation and has just eight returning starters. The Knights are preparing for a week one matchup against the Anderson Trojans that will also look a little different, as the rivalry is rebranded from the Taco Shack Bowl to the Shoal Creek Showdown. Kickoff for the first annual Shoal Creek Showdown is on August 28 at 7:30 p.m.
