John Huffstetler, the Pittsburg Pirates Athletic Director, when he introduced the signing athletes, emphasized that “each of them is academically at the top of their senior class, as well as being outstanding athletes. Pittsburg High School is proud of their accomplishments and expect that they will continue the same at their respective schools”.
Grant Wahl, sports columnist, wrote that “The most popular sport in the world is alive and well and it is gaining steam in the US. The US women’s national soccer team is the two-time defending World Cup champion, and the men’s team advanced to the knockout stage in the 2022 World Cup. Will America ever be a soccer nation? Time will tell”.
