Louis Vargas is 80 years old and in his 52nd year officiating high school sports, serving as head linesman during recent games. He works alongside his son, Danny, who is the assigner for officials in the San Fernando Valley unit. Vargas values the camaraderie of his officiating crew and emphasizes doing the job while having fun. An ongoing officials shortage increases the value of his continued participation and mentorship of younger officials. Vargas remains physically active, moves up and down the sideline during games, recovered after being hit last week, and is uncertain how long he will continue.
It's a great bunch of guys,
We do our job, but the most important thing is we have fun.
I don't know,
If I'm still moving, why not?
