Huerta has already provided one of the season’s defining moments with a game winning buzzer beater on a tough underhand layup against Portales. He followed that performance with a statement win over defending state champion Artesia, scoring 20 points and showing his ability to rise to the occasion. Huerta is effective scoring at all three levels and keeps defenders guessing with his quick first step and creativity. He also does a solid job facilitating the offense, making timely passes and keeping his teammates involved. His confidence and aggressiveness have been evident in Carlsbad’s early run.
