I listen to the 365 Sports guys VLOG's quite a bit and they had a piece on Tornado's earlier this week that hit Houston area. They interviewed the Deer Park HS football coach who just happens to be former Cyclone star football player Austin Flynn.
Not the best circumstances to hear from a former Cyclone, but it sounds like his family and community got through the EF3 tornado's without any serious injuries. The last I heard of Austin he was at Grandview in DSM. But doing some research he has returned to his hometown and been head coach at Deer Park HS since 2018. Some internet searches showed his team was 9-2 this past season, so looks like he is having success. Also noticed that another former Cyclone, Ben Barkema, is also on his staff as OC.
