In the new book "The Boys of Riverside,” New York Times reporter Thomas Fuller follows the team on their two year journey from hardly ever winning to having an undefeated season. The book takes a closer look at the team’s players, their dynamic head coach Keith Adams, and crucial games that brought the team national attention.
