The Knights’ athletic teams have moved from the old school to about a mile away on West Neck Road to the new school and a gym that is three times the size of the former one and has about twice the seating capacity. The new gym seats about 2,000, athletic director Jim Moxey said. The Knights’ wrestling team, ranked second in South Hampton Roads, hosted Maury, Norview and Salem on Wednesday. The first varsity girls and boys home basketball games at the new gym are scheduled for Tuesday against Green Run. Students are set to report for classes January 27. —
