Pilot Episode - October 6, 2023
In our first episode of Friday Knight Lights, we recap everything from the past week (September 25-29), from football to golf.
**CORRECTION** In the cross country segment, we reported that David Herring set a new school 5K record. Since the time of recording, we have learned that the course was shorter than 5K, so it doesn't qualify for a 5K record. We apologize for this error.
Music is an original composition created by Julia Copas.
