Our Boys: A Perfect Season on the Plains with the Smith Center Redmen

The football team in Smith Center, Kansas, has won sixty-seven games in a row, the nations longest high-school winning streak. They have done so by embracing a philosophy of life taught by their legendary coach, Roger Barta: Respect each other, then learn to love each other and together we are champions.

WE ARE REDMEN!

"Our Boys is about far more than football. Its an inspiring story about how a coach and a community are building young men with the simple values of love, patience, and hard work. This is a great book."—Joe Paterno, head football coach, Pennsylvania State University

"Our Boys delves into the heart of America in a manner that reminds me of The Last Picture Show and Friday Night Lights. Joe Drape crafts a terrific tale that will make you laugh, cry, and think. This is a story about small-town America that will make you shout."—Jim Dent, author of Twelve Mighty Orphans and The Junction Boys

Great Book...Great Town...and a Dam Good Football Tradition....The players on the team don't have a say in what class or who they play...they just PLAY...and for you select few that think they are only that good because of what class they play in talk to the KSHAA about changing the format of class specifications..until then dont take away what they accomplished as a team, community, and school

Jrdn1996, theangrybrit1776, and a7xwarrior5 you guys are just haters who never did anything as glorious as those guys did, talk smack from afar, but really do anything as impressive as those guys did, and you might have more appreciation, but you guys are just coming down on something you yourselves couldn't pull off, jealous much?
