Texas also has a very successful football team at the Texas School for the Deaf. They play in a 6-man league (the team in the article plays 8-man) but they are 8-1 this year and leading their district heading for the playoffs. I attended one of their games this year, which happened to be the one they lost, against my nephew's team. The quietness of the game was what stood out to me the most. Of course our team was making noise and our fans were doing the usual cheering. The cheerleaders and fans even tried to "make a lot of noise" on third down, I guess out of habit, because it made no difference, except to get our defense excited I suppose. But the only noise from the other side was a big drum or canon that they used which I suppose the deaf players could feel the sound of to set some timings. https://www.maxpreps.com/high-schools/texas-school-for-the-deaf-rangers-(austin,tx)/football/home.htm https://www.maxpreps.com/high-schools/texas-school-for-the-d...
