This week’s Cedar Ridge Red Wolf of the Week is senior soccer midfielder Edwin Huerta. This season, Huerta had his first career brace in a win over Southern Alamance. Huerta just finished his second season as a varsity soccer player. He won his final game in a Red Wolf uniform when Cedar Ridge defeated Vance County 3-2 at Red Wolves Stadium on October 28. Huerta has been a wrestler for Cedar Ridge for two seasons. In his sophomore season, he reached the finals of the Central Conference 160 pound tournament after he defeated Elijah Farrow of Northwood 7-5. This season on the soccer pitch, Huerta stepped in after the Red Wolves lost its best player, Dominic McNerney, following an 11th hour transfer to Western Alamance. Huerta helped the Red Wolves win five conference games. Huerta is a regular at various gyms in the Hillsborough area, where he powerlifts with Cedar Ridge wrestling coach Scott Metcalf along with various members of the wrestling team. Huerta will return to the wrestling mat next week when the Cedar Ridge wrestling team starts its season against Uwharrie Charter Academy in Asheboro. Cedar Ridge is the defending Central Conference champions and Huerta will be counted on as one of the senior leaders on this year’s team.
