News flash: Middies forward Bill Edwards Jr. is good ? real good.
If his 28-point, 10-rebound exhibition against the Hamilton Big Blue last Friday wasn't enough to convince you, Edwards turned around on Tuesday and dropped another double-double, 33 points and 13 boards, on the Mason Comets. In each contest ? both victories, by the way ? the 6-foot-6 junior looked like a man among boys.
His play over the past week is the type that makes college recruiters salivate.
Middies basketball coach Bob Ronai said this may be the best two-game stretch of Edwards' career at Middletown.
"He's starting to come into his own," Ronai said. "He's scoring points, but he's playing well in other areas too. He's rebounding well, and he's playing a lot better defensively."
