Foothills standout Glad active in MLS 

Southern Arizona now has three active (and starting) players in Major League Soccer. Very impressive.

Former Catalina Foothills standout Justen Glad, who is only 18, has started three games for Real Salt Lake since May 30. He turned down a scholarship offer from Stanford to take a chance in the MLS, and it is working out well. Glad is the second youngest player in MLS, part of a team with men aged 33, 34, 35 and 36. Glad’s MLS debut, in Vancouver, was watched by Pima College coach Dave Cosgrove
