Synopsis
In November of 2007, New York Times sports reporter Joe Drape chronicled a high school football team called the Redmen of Smith Center, Kansas, who had won 56 straight games, including four consecutive state titles. Drape was bombarded with feedback from readers, but none were more intrigued than the writer himself, who was so compelled by this shining example of small-town glory that he uprooted his family and moved to Smith Center. Drape reports on the Redmen's 2008 season, another undefeated romp through the competition, focusing on the remarkable group of young athletes and their motivational leader, Coach Frank Barta. But the real story encompasses the town of Smith Center as a whole, which proudly clings to a strong set of community ethics that has become endangered in modern America.
