A Riverside football team gets national attention and a new book dedicated to its journey
Manage episode 436346095 series 2411520
Last November, a parade was held for Riverside's California School for the Deaf’s football team who had just won their state championship. The victory was triumphant and an unlikely turn of events for a team that had long been outcasted as the underdogs. In the new book "The Boys of Riverside,” New York Times reporter Thomas Fuller follows the team on their two year journey from hardly ever winning to having an undefeated season. The book takes a closer look at the team’s players, their dynamic head coach Keith Adams, and crucial games that brought the team national attention. Joining us today on AirTalk are Thomas Fuller, author of the book "The Boys of Riverside: A Deaf Football Team and a Quest for Glory” and Keith Adams, head coach of the championship winning all-deaf High School football team, the Riverside Cubs from Riverside's California School for the Deaf.
