At the start of the April 21 meeting Mayor Betsy Smigel Anderson read a proclamation declaring April 21, 2025, as Piedmont High School Boys Soccer Team Day in recognition of the team’s first‑ever CIF Regional Championship (03/08/2025).

Coach Ben Russell, who has coached after moving from the U.K., thanked the community and families and praised the seniors who “set history” for the program while commending how players have developed both on and off the field. Council members and the mayor invited team members and families for a photo and offered congratulations.
The proclamation is ceremonial and recognizes the team’s achievement; no council action was required.
