FROM THE ASHES OF PEARL HARBOR ROSE A STEEL MILL ON THE WEST COAST THAT WOULD HELP BUILD BATTLESHIPS FOR WAR; THE BOSSES AND EMPLOYEES WOULD CREATE ANOTHER WAR AGAINST TWO TOWNS… THAT WAS SETTLED ON A HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL FIELD WHICH WOULD BUILD A DYNASTY FOR MORE THAN 25 YEARS.
Synopsis The Fo is a true high school football story of a class warfare between the bosses kids and employees kids at Kaiser Steel Mill which took place from the years 1974-2000. When Fontana High School opened its doors in 1952 and named the mascot after the workers at the steel mill (Steelers). The employees were honored but when the high school football team played their games against the bosses kids every year, they were treated at the steel mill as if their kids were losers just like the parent’s. That didn’t sit well with the employees at the mill or the City of Fontana for that matter and after 20 years in a row of losing the town and workers had seen enough.
The coaches that came to Fohi (Fontana High School) in the 70’s and 1980’s didn’t just prepare us for football; they prepared us for life. They strengthened our minds as well as our bodies and left a never ending impression. With the life lessons we learned on the football field it helped us to prepare for the journey ahead and instilled in us the confidence to overcome any obstacle.
The story is told through the eyes of Pauly as a kid, player and coach that covers the amazing sports journey of the toughest team and league in the State of California. A true story that became a sports culture you will never forget of the record breaking state and national playoff streak, the Slap, the plane, the parties, crazy fans and the game of football that was played like our country was built tough.
Fontana went from the worst team in the league to the most feared and best in the State and Nation. When Fohi step their game up, so did the rest of the league and six different teams in a 14 year span would play in a CIF State Championship Game with five State Champions from three different teams in only nine years. No league was ever tougher!

The FO eBook Dennis Paulson Rick Pesquera Reviews
I bought this book from based on the author's own recommendation. His writing style bored me immediately and made me not want to finish the book. I'll try to finish it someday. The editing and proofreading were so off, that I just couldn't bring myself to even try to finish it.
On page 9 he has a spelling error that anyone who would have read over should have caught. He makes what might have been a great story into a made for TV after school special, except that it is in book form.
I am truly disappointed in this purchase and I think that the author should maybe shorten the length of the book or look over it again and correct his errors and then make his story style better than it is now.
In all honesty, he claims to be a coach, so it makes one wonder if he couldn't get the English department to read through this and edit it instead of Microsoft Word's spell and grammar check.
Let me give an example of how you can tell that this is the case; when reading a book, it is perfectly fine not to make the word "ok" in all caps. Clearly someone didn't know that it is fine to just write it as ok. When you are reading a book and a sentence has the word "OK" in it, it interrupts the overall tone and makes the reader subconsciously think that the production was amateur and cheap. There is nothing wrong with being amateur or cheap, but someone should have read through this first and caught such awful story telling skill such as Coach worked at McDonald's, he liked a girl who was going to a powder puff football game. He got her attention by flirting with her and talking about football since he knew that she liked football. The rest was history and they got married.
This is the type of thing that as a writer, you should see and think, "You know, this is a bit superfluous. I think that my mostly young male readers could care less about this." Do this enough times and the book goes from 273 pages to 200 or maybe even less. Less is more in this case and it seems that the author cares more about quantity and less about quality.
Much like Sara Palin's Going Rogue, he skips over details that would be very interesting in favor of those that are not and still manages to bore his readers and provide them with a book that waxes way too long on topics that they may not find as enlightening or fulfilling as the author has.
I normally don't give reviews, especially bad ones, but I felt that it would be a disservice to all readers not to give this book its proper attention. Maybe if you are familiar with the area or the program, you might find this interesting. For an outsider like me however, this book just doesn't cut it. I'll try to pick it up and force myself to read it, and one day when I finish if it gets any better, I'll write a better review, and retract this one. Other than that, this book is pure garbage and should be revised immediately before anyone else makes the same mistake that I made by buying it.
Having grown up in Fontana and bearing firsthand witness to the building of the Steeler empire, I was justly curious to read an account of happenings in my home town, having relocated to the south of France some 20+ years ago. I was not disappointed in the least with my purchase.
Mr. Paulsons obvious passion for all things Fontana shines through with every page turned. I found myself immersed immediately and simply could not put it down, staying awake til the wee hours of the morning poring over it. First hand accounts, told in gritty detail, will keep any reader on the edge their seat. A deeply researched town history opens the story, complete with compelling photos, and flows seamlessly into the tale of Coach Bruich and his staff putting together a dynasty that struck fear into every high school team in Southern California.
All Fontana alumni, or any high school football fan for that matter, would without a doubt love this book, which I was taken aback to learn was Mr. Paulsons first venture into the world of writing. I, for one, am keeping my fingers crossed for some type of follow up book from the author. We need more authors out there who really get it and tell us stories straight from the heart... Great story, great read and just a great overall effort, Mr. Paulson
Interesting book - I think you need to be from Fontana and know the background of this high school football legacy to completely understand this story.
A friend of mine wrote this book and it's all about high school football. Fun reading.
Paulson's enthusiasm for Football, Fontana & life in the inland Empire is infectious. From hard core "Friday Night Lights", to rock stars, cruising and grapefruit fights. This book has it all. Nice to read another good book about Sammy Hagar's hometown! Thanks! Kevin
My husband went to school in this era and he loves this book. Very familiar with the events of the book.
