Deseret News names MountainStar HealthCare Athlete of the week: Carlos Vargas as he stepped up big in what was an important week for Wasatch soccer.
He scored two goals last Tuesday to spearhead a 3-1 win over Provo and followed it up on Friday with a goal in a 2-1 win over Skyridge.
“Carlos has been a vital part of Wasatch from the moment he started his freshman year. He has played every position and has excelled wherever he is asked to play. The last three years Carlos has been a defensive player for Wasatch. This year he has been placed in the attacking midfield or forward and has been able to show he can score as well as defend,” said Wasatch coach Jared Hendry.
Vargas has eight goals this season.
“Carlos is not only a great field player but is also a great leader and example for all of our younger players and community. He is part of Athletic Council with the high school. Going into the elementary schools to read with many of the younger students. He has helped coach many of our youth in the valley and is a role model for many up-and-coming players.”
