Carlos Gonzlez who recently graduated from Wood River High School in Hailey ID has signed his National Letter of Intent to play college soccer at Western Wyoming Community College in Rock Springs WY. Carlos was a part of a great high school team and tradition with the Wolverine's of Wood River High. They averaged 10 or more wins during his 4 year high school career and had success at the 4A Idaho State Soccer level. During his senior campaign Carlos was named to the Honorable Mention - 4A Boys Great Basin Conference Team. Gonzalez was also a great student at WRHS and a leader for his peers and teammates.
February of 2016 is when Carlos came for an ID camp to see if he had the skills to play at the next level and become a Mustang. At the ID camp Carlos showed great speed and good quickness. He also impressed us with his accurate and well timed cross and passing. He showed great field awareness and that he could help keep possession in the scrimmage that we held with the ID camp participants. There were no glaring major holes in his game. Of course like all freshmen Gonzalez will have to come in and improve in speed of play and toughness to be able to contribute right away for the Western Wyoming Men's team in the fall of 2016.
We foresee Carlos using his skills as an attacking player for the Mustangs. Probably being the most useful in the midfield. His passing ability makes us think about him as attacking mid and his speed leans us to an outside midfielder. We also know that he has enough quickness and nose for goal that he could also be used as a striker if needed. Carlos has told us that he would be willing to play any position besides keeper. We are happy to have a strong player, student and young man such as Carlos Gonzalez a part of Western Wyoming Soccer.
