Show Notes
In May 2008, An EF-5 ravaged Iowa and tore up most of the town of Parkersburg. The damage was near atomic. The Thomas family lost their home. Applington-Parkersburg High School was unrecognizable.
But the recovery happened immediately.
Ed Thomas was undeterred in his goal of getting the football field ready for play within 100 days. His leadership would be covered by media outlets throughout Iowa and the nation. Thomas had become his town's most-beloved citizen. Tom Rinaldi takes you behind the scenes in episode 3 as Thomas and his team inspire their town. Thomas gives a resounding and emotional locker room speech and the Falcons win on the Sacred Acre.
