The boys of Riverside : a deaf football team and a quest for glory / by Fuller, Thomas(Journalist),author.(CARDINAL)895043;
Prologue -- Phillip -- Hell week -- A school among the orange groves -- A taste of victory -- Hearing with your eyes -- On a roll -- Stamina -- The sound of the sun -- Frowned upon by the gods -- The facetime revolution -- Deafness as a choice -- Fame -- The deaf brain -- Avalon -- Battered -- A football? but it's not round -- Underdog meets top dog -- Finishing with a bang -- "No hope left" -- Unfinished business -- "Full sprints!" -- "Be hungry for it! be angry!" -- "They think we are nothing" -- Deaf versus deaf -- Playing a deaf legend -- Felix -- The speech -- "I'm playing! I'm playing!" -- The wicks and the bombs -- An apparition on the practice field -- Playing with fire -- The psychology of winning -- The throw -- Blocking and tackling -- College dreams -- "That kid can play anywhere" -- "You guys deserved this"."In November 2021, an obscure email from the California Department of Education landed in New York Times reporter, Thomas Fuller's, inbox. The football team at the California School for the Deaf in Riverside, a state-run school with only 168 high school students, was having an undefeated season. After years of covering war, wildfires, pandemic, and mass shootings, Fuller was captivated by the story of this group of high school boys. It was uplifting. During the gloom of the pandemic, it was a happy story. It was a sports story but not an ordinary one, built on the chemistry between a group of underestimated boys and their superhero advocate coach, Keith Adams, a deaf former athlete himself. The team, and Adams, tackled the many stereotypes and seemed to be succeeding. Fuller packed his bags and drove seven hours to the Riverside campus. 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 the majority of the season sleeping in his father's car in the Target parking lot. It tells the story of a fiercely committed player who literally played through a broken leg in order not to miss a crucial game, as well as myriad other heart-wrenching and uplifting narratives of players who found common purpose. Through their eyes, Fuller reveals a portrait of high school athletics, inspiring camaraderie, and deafness in America."--

The William Hoy story : how a deaf baseball player changed the game / by Churnin, Nancy,author.(CARDINAL)353701; Tuya, Jez,illustrator.(CARDINAL)617918;
All William Ellsworth Hoy wanted to do was play baseball. After losing out on a spot on the local deaf team, William practiced even harder--eventually earning a position on a professional team. But his struggle was far from over. In addition to the prejudice Hoy faced, he could not hear the umpires' calls. One day he asked the umpire to use hand signals: strike, ball, out. That day he not only got on base but also changed the way the game was played forever. William "Dummy" Hoy became one of the greatest and most beloved players of his time!004-008.AD620LAccelerated Reader AR

Deaf utopia [large print] : a memoir - and a love letter to a way of life / by DiMarco, Nyle,1989-author.(CARDINAL)857433; Siebert, Robert(Author),author.;
Includes bibliographical references.How I Failed My First Test the Day After I Was Born -- Queens, New York -- Fire in the Belly -- Roadside Arts and Crafts -- Wanderings -- Them Hearing, Me Deaf -- Storms -- The Kitchen Light -- Fighting Back -- Guatemala -- Explorations -- Use Your Voice -- I'm Sold -- War Heroes -- Tears of Joy -- Fluid -- Boombox -- Silence, Deaf History, and the Last Dance -- Embracing Me -- Home Movies -- Resources: Furthering Your Deaf Education"A heartfelt and inspiring memoir and celebration of Deaf culture by Nyle DiMarco, actor, producer, two-time reality show winner, and cultural icon of the international Deaf community. Before becoming the actor, producer, advocate, and model that people know today, Nyle DiMarco was half of a pair of Deaf twins born to a multi-generational Deaf family in Queens, New York. At the hospital one day after he was born, Nyle "failed" his first test--a hearing test--to the joy and excitement of his parents. In this engrossing memoir, Nyle shares stories, both heartbreaking and humorous, of what it means to navigate a world built for hearing people. From growing up in a rough-and-tumble childhood in Queens with his big and loving Italian-American family to where he is now, Nyle has always been driven to explore beyond the boundaries given him. A college math major and athlete at Gallaudet--the famed university for the Deaf in Washington, DC--Nyle was drawn as a young man to acting, and dove headfirst into the reality show competitions America's Next Top Model and Dancing with the Stars--ultimately winning both competitions. Deaf Utopia is more than a memoir, it is a cultural anthem--a proud and defiant song of Deaf culture and a love letter to American Sign Language, Nyle's primary language. Through his stories and those of his Deaf brothers, parents, and grandparents, Nyle opens many windows into the Deaf experience. Deaf Utopia is intimate, suspenseful, hilarious, eye-opening, and smart--both a memoir and a celebration of what makes Deaf culture unique and beautiful."--
