Great local story feature on ESPN about Des Moines North High School football players and coach. Fast forward to the 27 minute mark of the video. The clip on North is about 10 minutes long. Why am i sharing this on the ELI page? Because these are the same students and families that are supported by ELI.

Des Moines Iowa North High School Story and other stories around the country.
