What started off as the tale of an underdog team proving that they were worth more than their disability turned into a story of victory.

David revealed in his closing chapter that the school emerged victorious at the state varsity championship, making history and inspiring many along the way.

David first kicked off their story in November of last year, capturing their history-making run as they remained undefeated at the time.

The segment also involved the players and the coaches, all deaf, signing to David, which he then translated for the viewers at home as they were deemed the "Persons of the Week."

"Now just one win away from first Southern Section Division 2 8-Man Football Title in the school's 60-plus year history #PersonsOfTheWeek."
