25 Sports Tour - Peoria Richwoods Knights

PEORIA (25 News Now) - Our 25 Sports Tour stops at Peoria Richwoods to preview the Knights.

After a tough year one as Richwoods head coach last fall, Jim Ulrich is excited about the strides his team has taken heading into this season

“I think we’re a little faster,” Ulrich said. “We’re much stronger. Our numbers have grown. Our commitment’s gotten better. We have a little more passion. We’re starting to sit there and see a lot of leadership. There’s a lot of things that have gone on right now that I’m pretty happy with in terms of growth for a program.”

The Knights are excited about year number two under Coach Ulrich and they’re also excited about year number two of their quarterback. Greg Burnside was a first-year starter as a junior a year ago and he’s excited about his senior season.
