The Boys of Riverside

By Thomas Fuller

The Boys of Riverside looks back at the historic 2021 and 2022 seasons in which the California School for the Deaf chased history. It follows the personal journeys of their dynamic deaf head coach and a student who spent most of the season sleeping in his father’s car in the Target parking lot. It tells the story of a fiercely committed player who played through a broken leg not to miss a crucial game and myriad other heart-wrenching and uplifting narratives of players who found common purpose. Through their eyes, New York Times reporter and San Francisco Bureau Chief Thomas Fuller reveals a portrait of high school athletics, inspiring camaraderie, and deafness in America.
