The first game will kick off at 6 p.m. tonight. The Knights will host Chamber Academy, Jackson Academy and Bessemer Academy — Wright's former team who he coached for 15 years, leading to four state titles.

The Knights will look to improve from a 2-8 campaign in 2021, and will open the season on Thursday, Aug. 19 against Autauga Academy.
