Coach Sloth visits CC/E

Clay Central/Everly Elementary students were recently treated to a visit from famous author and former Iowa State football player, Coach Sloth.

As a child growing up in the Dike and Belmond areas, it was very apparent to Coach (Ryan) Sloth that his greatest desire was to play football. Sloth played as starting cornerback for ISU, helping to lead the Cyclones to a victory in the 2000 Insight Bowl.

Sloth transitioned from a Cyclone to an Iowa Barnstormer, both as a player and coach. He spent 10 seasons with the team and coached for five other arena squads as well.
