California deaf football team, perennial underdogs, turns perceived deficit into gridiron strength
Fox News
The Cubs, the varsity football team, at the California School for the Deaf, Riverside, is two games away from winning the division championship for the very first time in the school’s 68-year history, according to the New York Times.
The report added it’s a far cry for the athletic program, previously humiliated and mocked by opponents for the inability to hear.
On the second round of the playoffs this past Friday, they obliterated the Desert Christian Knights, 84-12, a score that likely would have been even higher had they not substituted their starters for their second-string players for the entire second half.
"I sometimes still can’t believe how well we played this year," Adams said. "I knew we were good, but never in my dreams did I think we would dominate every game."
