The California School for the Deaf varsity football team started the season ready to make history — and that's exactly what they did.

The school was established 68 years ago in Riverside, California, and for the first time ever, the football team had an undefeated season. To top things off, the Cubs won the division championship game on Friday, and on Saturday, they'll compete in the state championship. "We have one more," running back Enos Zornoza told ABC 7 Los Angeles through an American Sign Language interpreter. "We are not done, we have unfinished business, championship is on the way."
