Patrick Henry Patriots
Year: Sophomore
Age: 16, Huber just had a birthday Dec. 2
Performance: Huber scored 37 points in a season-opening victory over John Marshall. Then Huber registered 21 points to lead PH over Deep Run in overtime.
On last week: “I don’t know. I just had a really good game. I was getting a lot of open shots and they were falling for me. My teammates helped me out, gave me the ball.
I don’t know, it was exciting.”
On Deep Run win: “It was amazing. Our chemistry was just so good that game. We were all just really hype and excited about playing them. Our seniors really wanted a chance to win.
We decided that we weren’t going to lose. We just gave it our all and left everything we had on the court.”
Best trait: “I feel like I’m a pretty good leader on the court. I feel like I can see the floor pretty well. I can see the open players and just get the team hype and ready to go.”
Favorite class: “Gym. I’m taking advanced gym [next year].”
On youth: “We have two new freshman, Katie Anderson and Jasmine Smith, they really contribute to the team a lot. The whole team just helped out. This year we only have three seniors, and we have a lot of underclassmen and a bunch of juniors. I think that because we’re young we’ll have better time together. I think it gives us an advantage also.”
Funniest teammates: “I’d have to say Katie Anderson and Gracie Schimitt. Katie is so hyper all the time. She always makes me laugh. Gracie, she’s pretty funny, too.”
Toughest opponent: “I know so many girls on the other teams. I’d have to say Deep Run, Amy Turner. She played me with tough defense. She kept me working. I think she did a good job playing defense on me.”
Invite any three people to dinner: “Shaq, my grandma [Annie Lee Stanley, died when Huber was 7] and probably Diana Taurasi. I’ve met her before at one of our tournaments. She came to a tournament at VCU and I got to meet her.” Huber met Taurasi at an AAU tourney. “Right now I play for 3-point Line Sports.”
On coach Leslie Nuckols: “I love coach Nuckols! Pretty much my whole career I’ve had men coaches. To have a woman coach is different, but she knows what she’s talking about. I think her having coached here before helps. She was my gym teacher last year so I got to know her. It’s been fun. I think she will get us far.”
On elevated expectations: “I think we’ll just play the same that we have been. I think people underestimate us a little bit. Even though we’ve had a loss, people still won’t know what hit them.”
