This week’s Cedar Ridge Red Wolf of the Week is senior centerback for the men’s soccer team Salomon Hernandez. The Captain of the team, Hernandez has provided experience for a Cedar Ridge team that was filled with adversity over the first month of the season. Because of repairs at the track inside Red Wolves Stadium, Cedar Ridge has opened the year with seven consecutive road games. On top of that, they lost its leading scorer from last year when Dominic McNerney transferred to Western Alamance–two days before the season opener against Carrboro. Hernandez has provided leadership in the midst of it all. Last week, he had an assist in the Red Wolves 8-0 win at Person. Last year, Hernandez scored one of the most memorable goals in team history when his header off a corner kick with 4:17 remaining in regulation to defeat Western Alamance. It was the first time that the Red Wolves defeated the Warriors since they became Central Conference rivals in 2021. Hernandez helped Cedar Ridge host a state playoff game last year for the first time since 2015. Hernandez works out with Wake FC during his time away from Cedar Ridge and he will end his career as a player who helped Cedar Ridge reach new heights. The Red Wolves will travel to Orange tonight for the opening leg of the Hillsborough Derby.
