Cerritos (2008): Had a great freshman season… In addition to winning the South Coast Conference singles championship and teaming with Jason Wall to win the SCC doubles championship, the two became the first Falcons doubles team to advance to the state championship match… The duo, who was ranked #4 in the state, pulled off several exciting wins, including a three-set marathon in the state semi-finals to reach the championship match… The lack of rest between matches affected them, and they were defeated in the finals… Edwards and Wall went 27-5 on the year, while also excelling in singles play… As the team’s top singles player, he went 26-4 on the year, but was upset in the third round of the Southern California Championships… Also reached the quarterfinals of the Ojai Tournament in singles, while he teamed with Wall to reach the semi-finals…..

Personal: Most memorable moments were when he won the Orange League championship as a senior and when he defeated Christian Issp, 7-6 his senior year… Would like to transfer to Cal State Long Beach… Is studying to be a chiropractor… His mother played tennis at Long Beach City… Likes to play video games in his spare time… Has one sister – Sarah (13)… Is the son of Doug and Kelly Edwards… Born in Long Beach, CA on July 6, 1989…..
