Tyler Roth/WKVI Athlete of the Week 10-20-18

Jared Prater

Our Tyler Roth/WKVI Athlete of the Week for this week is Jared Prater, a member of the Football Team at Knox High School.

Jared helped lead his team to arguably the biggest win in school history when they upset 10th-ranked Jimtown 21-14 in the opening game of the Sectional.  The 6-1, 179 pound senior Wing Back and Safety came up with big plays on both sides of the ball.  His 69-yard touchdown pass reception from Zach Rose gave the Redskins their winning score in the third quarter.  Then, his interception of a Jimmies pass at the Redskin 4 yard line with 4:24 left in the game sealed Knox’ first win over Jimtown since 1989!  He also came up with 3 tackles from his defensive secondary position.

 Congratulations to Jared Prater of Knox High School our Tyler Roth/WKVI Athlete of the Week.
