The Padua football team boasts a strong presence on the field and generates school spirit and excitement. Students can compete at the freshman, junior varsity, and varsity levels. The “no-cut policy” means any student can be part of the team. The Bruins were State Runner-ups in 1979. The Bruins won Crown Conference Titles in 1974 and 1979. PFHS has won the North Coast League title five times (1986, 1993, 1994, 2000, 2008).
