Bonita Pride Football is a physically brutal game: the hellacious hitting, the hand-to-hand combat in the trenches, the torturous year-round training. But what makes this punishing ballet America’s favorite sport is the constant mental challenge it poses to players, coaches and fans.

Friday’s quarterfinals playoff featuring Bonita and Paramount had it all – clutch pitching, hitting and defense, and something rarer than a triple play or a perfect game: a right fielder, Joe Willard, throwing out not one, not two, but three hitters out at first base. “I’ve never seen that,” said victorious coach John Knott, who deserves […]
