There's word from Iowa  that Aplington-Parkersburg football coach Ed Thomas  has been shot and killed in the school's weightroom.   The shooter is in custody.  No word on who he is.  Thomas coached three future NFL players.  He also was the coach who rallied his team together after a tornado destroyed their central Iowa town.  He had his players not only clean up debris, but dig graves because the heavy equipment normally used for that was being used.  Here's video of thier first game after the twister..

That coach must have done something to that kid. Of course I’m NOT justifying what that kid did; but I know coaches & parents who berate and insult kids to “get results”. My father is the same way. He’s NOT a BAD person; but he DEFINITELY isn’t a NICE person. Some kids & young adults need to hear positive things instead of insults…although my dad would call those kids p*****s
