ATLANTA — Kevin Huerter is less than a month away from making his professional debut in Madison Square Garden as a rookie wing for the Atlanta Hawks — but the game won’t be the first time he’s been in the public eye in the state of New York.
Huerter is a graduate of Shenendehowa High School, which is in the suburbs of Albany, New York. His four-year career ended in a legendary string of events by emerging as one of the top basketball prospects in the country, winning the state basketball championship his junior year, committing to the University of Maryland, receiving an invite to play with the Team USA U18 squad in 2016 and being a pivotal part of Shenendehowa baseball state championship team his senior year, all before he began playing his first season at Maryland.
