The last being Pete Moye who resigned after one season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Knights were 5-6 overall last year and finished third in the MVL at 3-2. The Knights fell in the first round of the CIF Division 14 playoffs to Century 30-29. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"925\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DSC_0021-925x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-56622\" srcset=\"https:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DSC_0021-925x768.jpg 925w, https:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DSC_0021-70x58.jpg 70w, https:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DSC_0021-361x300.jpg 361w, https:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DSC_0021-150x125.jpg 150w, https:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DSC_0021-900x747.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 925px) 100vw, 925px\" \/><figcaption>Jim Singiser and Chris MacMillan had served together as HC and OC since 2003 until Singiser stepped down after the 2019 season.
