Once considered underdogs, the football team at the California School for the Deaf in Riverside has defied the odds with an undefeated season that has electrified and inspired spectators in California and beyond.

The Cubs Varsity football team was 11 and 0 this season and now has won the division championship game, which is a first in the school's 68-year history.

"It's inspiring for the deaf community quite honestly. 11 and 0 we've never experienced this being this far in playoffs," coach Keith Adams told ABC News. "The community is so excited, the morale has been uplifted, the self-esteem of our players -- you can see a major difference."

Wide receiver Jory Valencia told ABC News that the notion that they've never had a successful season only "fired us up" and inspired them to push harder each game.

"Now we're just destroying every game. We're showing the world we can play. We're not losing anymore," he said.
