Wilmot Public School 54-7

The family of Bob Trapp is looking for any pictures related to the late 1950s Corona basketball teams that won the state tournament that would have included Bob. Specifically 1957-58 (the championship years). The late Bob Trapp will be inducted into the South Dakota Basketball Hall of Fame and any pictures would be appreciated as they honor him. Mr. Trapp eventually became coach, principal, and superintendent at the Hecla School District. Please reach out to Mr. Hanson at the school if you have any or know where to look through email at grant.hanson@k12.sd.us or phone 605-938-4647. Thank you!
