Carrasco, a sophomore guard, helped the Aztecs go 2-0 this week with wins against South Mountain Community College and at Chandler-Gilbert Community College. Carrasco averaged 21.5 points (including a 30-point performance against the Cougars) 5.5 rebounds and 4 assists per game. He went 7-for-13 from three-point range and shot 55.2 percent from the field. He is averaging 20.1 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.3 steals per game.
This list will be updated all year in an effort to recognize all former local prep stars who have gone on to achieve either academic and/or athletic awards at the next level. These are not high school awards but collegiate and professional recognitions. NOT CHAMPIONSHIPS. If you are aware of anything I have missed along the way, please let me know.
We recognized 164 athletes in 2018.
