Coach Knorr has not been given the credit he deserves, and fan support has been very minimal. The fact that the pep club has arranged for us to have some support is encouraging.

Kerr came the closest with two wins and two losses, but no place. Statistics still state that there has never been anyone who placed in state competi- tion from Silver Lake.
