Tom Flynn

For Joe Drape's bestselling Our Boys, the New York Times reporter profiled a small-town Kansas high-school football team that strung together a record-breaking winning streak despite a town population of fewer than 2,000 and a correspondingly shallow talent pool. To study his subject, Drape relocated his family to Smith Center, Kansas, for an in-depth look at what constitutes success in football and life in small-town America.
