Knights Apparel and Accessories
A small store has been opened until June 5th where you can purchase some Knights accessories. Youth Football did not want to interfere with the high school apparel store that was open a few weeks ago. We are offering a few different items (not sports specific): tumblers, water bottles, stadium blanket, men's and women's jacket and the women's North Face poncho.
