This is the true story of what happens when the courage to believe in a dream meets destiny. A group of misfit players, overcoming a heartbreaking loss, making a courageous prediction, reacting to public skepticism, facing the loss of teammate and conquering unbelievable weather conditions during a championship game all combine to tell the tale of a group of high school seniors finding the will to overcome all obstacles to make history and accomplish a dream. Hello, My name is Tom Krause. I was a captain on the 1974 Boonville Pirate football team. Since that miracle in the snow, I have traveled the country for years as a motivational speaker telling this amazing story. Time after time, people have spoken to me afterward on how motivating they have felt after hearing this incredible true story. Thousands have commented that this story should be a movie. Recently my teammates and I celebrated the 40th anniversary of this story. We are getting to the age where we are starting to lose teammates. That is why I am putting this story out to anyone who may be interested in keeping it alive. If you are, or know, an author or screenwriter, who might be interested in hearing more details or if your group would be interested in being motivated by this story please contact me at address below. Never give up on your dreams! Tom Krause [email protected] www.....com --... - time contributing author CHICKEN SOUP FOR SOUL book series.
