Washington’s Schools Superintendent says the death of Parkersburg football coach Ed Thomas is a great loss to Iowa’s education system. Dave Sextro worked with Thomas on the state high school athletic association. Sextro says Thomas “was an icon for the school, and will be greatly missed.” Thomas was shot to death this week by a former player at a weight room facility next to the school. He’d served as football coach for Aplington-Parkersburg for 34 years.
