KPBS reported that Lincoln and Morse High schools, located just five miles apart in southeastern San Diego, have produced more than 70 professional athletes.

This achievement is notable because most U.S. high schools never produce a single professional athlete, highlighting the unique athletic legacy of these two schools.

The story underscores the resilience and talent emerging from southeastern San Diego, an area that faces various obstacles but continues to foster athletic success.

The report does not specify the sports or the time span over which these athletes emerged, but it emphasizes the significance of this local phenomenon.
