Luke Knobel brings hard hat and lunch bucket to work


Luke Knoble carries his lunch bucket and hard hat with him on the court for the UW-Whitewater men’s basketball team. The 6-7 senior for the Warhawks has that “pound the rock” attitude – the same attitude that Warhawk football has made famous.

The Hawks are not a big ball club and when it comes to rebounding Knoble is asked to hit the boards – HARD!

“This year we’ve got a bunch of guys that can score,” Knoble tells Voices Eye on Basketball Blog. “I’m in there to give my all on defense, to rebound, and to work all around hard.

Knoble is coming off a junior year that included the Boscobel native being named a 1st Team All-WIAC selection. Luke averaged 9.7 points and 4.8 rebounds per game last season. Through three games this year Knobel is averaging 9.3 points and 5.7 rebounds per game.

Knobel also brings tough defense in the paint for the Warhawks.

One of the keys to Whitewater’s run to the NCAA Division III national championship last year was there tenacity on defense. Knobel brought that defensive tenacity to the table each game.

“I just go out there and give glory to God and give it my all,” Knobel said. “It’s all about working hard.”
