It’s more than just a competition, and that was proudly displayed in the Varsity Soccer game last night against Niles! To kick-off the game, both teams came together to provide a special moment for Felipe, an exchange student from Brazil. Felipe had his season cut short due to injury, but thanks to the PHS coaching staff, along with the support of the Niles Varsity Soccer team and the referees, he was given the opportunity for one final touch in a game setting. This incredible gesture showcased remarkable sportsmanship from everyone involved. While Felipe’s influence extends far beyond what can be captured in a single moment, we are immensely grateful to both teams for supporting this memorable experience for him.
