Contribution to prep sports: Soto, a 36-year resident of Southern Nevada, is in his first year driving for the school district. He transports students to a variety of field trips, including sporting events ranging from basketball to softball. When he gets a chance, he likes to catch some of the local prep action. "It's impressive to see what these kids can do," Soto said. "It's the first time I've really watched the high school sports here, and these kids are awesome." Mostly, Soto drives kids to and from afternoon or evening events, although occasionally he draws a weekend assignment. Earlier this spring he drove the Indian Springs baseball team to Laughlin.
