Kellyville, OK – August 29, 2025 – The Henryetta Knights hit the road tonight at 7:00 PM to face the Kellyville Ponies in their 2025-26 varsity football season opener, kicking off a new era under head coach Kevin Adler.

In 2024, Henryetta posted an impressive 8-3 record, including a 6-1 mark in Class 2A-II District 4, finishing 2nd. Their blowout win over Kellyville last season highlighted a dynamic offense, driven by players like quarterback Brady Norman and running back Nick Hudson, and a relentless defense that alternated between 3-5-3 and 3-4-4 schemes to stifle opponents. With returning talent like Talon Weaver, Charlie Bryant, and Blake Wind, the Knights are poised for another strong campaign.

New head coach Kevin Adler takes the reins this season, bringing fresh leadership to a program known for its grit and community pride. While Adler’s strategies are yet to be fully unveiled, tonight’s game will offer the first glimpse of his vision for the Knights. Kellyville, coming off a 1-9 season in 2024, is determined to rewrite the narrative after last year’s lopsided loss. The Ponies will aim to disrupt Henryetta’s rhythm and capitalize on any early-season adjustments under Adler’s new system.

As Henryetta celebrates its 125th anniversary in 2025, the Knights carry the town’s pride into enemy territory. Key matchups to watch include Henryetta’s offensive line against Kellyville’s defensive front and whether the Ponies can find cracks in the Knights’ proven defense. With Adler leading the charge, Henryetta aims to start the season with a statement win.

Kickoff is at 7:00 PM at Kellyville High School. Fans can watch the game live on YouTube Let’s cheer on Coach Adler and the Knights as they charge toward another memorable season!
