Adam Leicht Signs With Emory-Oxford

A great year for PHS Athletics continued this morning as Pickens Dragons soccer player Adam Leicht signed a soccer scholarship with the Emory-Oxford Eagles. The senior goalie holds a couple of records during his time at PHS and is looking forward to continuing his career at the next level.

 

After the signing and picture taking was over, I got to briefly speak to the newest member of the Eagle soccer family. I first asked Adam what his feelings were about his big day:

It was great. I worked so hard for this moment and I mean it’s crazy that it’s all come down to this, but it couldn’t of happened without the people in this community supporting me.

I then asked how the recruiting process was like for him:

Coach Moss-Brown (head coach) was actually one of the first coaches that reached out to me. Playing for a coach with professional soccer experience is a great opprotunity and to go to such a great academic school.

The roster for the Eagles Men’s soccer team is filled with players from all parts of the world from the U.S., India, China, Zimbabwe, & Poland. I asked Adam what it will be like playing with teammates from so many different places:

It will definitely be very cool. Its something that i’m not used to, but I think it’ll help me expand and get to know other people as well.

The final question I asked was about his goals both athletically and academically are during his time in college:

As an athlete give my best, give myself and the team every single game, help us win games. As a student, a high g.p.a and hopefully that’ll open a lot of doors for graduate school and things like that.

Congratulations to Adam and good luck at Emory-Oxford.
