Hard to believe 11 years since we lost dad. I think he would be proud of AP yet. Field still looking good. He wouldn’t know what to think of Covid or Twitter. He would love watching his grandkids! Not a day goes by he isn’t missed, but his impact continues! @EdThomasFF

- My heart hurts for my youngest son who will miss his first two JH FB games feeling 100% fine has never had a symptom but must be at home. I also feel for those in DM and IC who aren’t allowed to play. Hoping mental health of young people eventually is factored in to this
- Appreciate my mom getting Todd and I each one of dads license plates from his truck framed.
- Always great to have Tom Rinaldi in Parkersburg He couldn’t believe you can just drive the golf cart where ever. The best story teller in the world honored he chose to tell our story!
- Bitter sweet night unreal feeling watching Owen play varsity minutes on Ed Thomas Field. Hard to not get a litttle teary eyed knowing how much Dad would haves loved it. Cool to hear his name on the PA...
- Love this pic can’t see the wording but Ed Thomas Field in the background with 3 of his grandsons all in an AP uniform 7th/FR/Sr would make him proud. I’m a proud dad! Praying we can play all year. Great to watch the kids compete tonight! @EdThomasFF
- Mixed emotions coaching finding out my Grandma Thomas passed away tonight. The sweetest women I have ever met an unbelievable example on how to love Jesus and love people! I know exactly where she is and get a little teary eyed knowing she saw my dad & Grandpa & is praising God
- Throwback Thursday for homecoming. Went to moms and dug our dads game day coaching gear. He bought these pants when he was my age 43 coat straight from the mid 90s. Coaches in 80s and 90s were on to something with elastic think band and no loops for belts!!
- Appreciate Fox and Tom Rinaldi and company on their work on this. Honored to have Dads story still told take a listen tomorrowA legendary coach. A shocking murder. A living legacy. Tom Rinaldi Presents: Sacred Acre. Premieres tomorrow, listen wherever you get your podcasts.
00:00 - 14 of our 15 guys who dress for @APBoysHoops play 3 OR 4 sports! Give me guys who SPECIALIZE in COMPETING!!!! You can't emulate competing. Spend time out of season working on your bball skills and lifting in season and out Proud coach!
- Happy for my mom. Today is the last day she goes to work. Retiring after serving our community working at city hall! Selfless worker who took a lot of complaints always keeps her cool and loves her community! While dad did great things my mom doesn't take a back seat! Proud son
- Anytime I drive through Emmetsburg I always stop at Coach Twait field and can still see dad coaching. Where he coached his last game
- Hard to believe today would have been mom and dad’s 45th! Days like today make it tough. Feel for my mom strongest lady I know who is the ROCK and support for so many others!! Days like today she doesn’t deserve Love you mom. Miss you dad! What a picture!
