It is worth noting that Pine-Richland High School has three former athletes playing professionally this week in three prominent sports. Neil Walker should be at second base tonight for the Pirates, as usual, when they play the Philadelphia Phillies at PNC Park. Brandon Saad will be on a top line for the Chicago Blackhawks Saturday night and could be the star again when they play the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup final. Meghan Klingenberg is expected to start on defense tonight for the U.S. soccer team against Sweden in the Women’s World Cup.
“Pretty sweet,” Pine-Richland athletic director Josh Shoop was saying the other day.
