Edwards transferred from Marvin Ridge to Charlotte Latin prior to the start of the 2024-25 season and that addition a massive boost to the Hawks. A product of the Team Mack program on its 17U team, she recently landed an offer from Rollins College in central Florida. When one stands at 5-foot-11 and is a combo guard as Edwards is, that automatically makes one an intriguing prospect. Last season, Edwards averaged 13 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.5 steals per contest. It led to Charlotte Latin putting together another winning season – the Hawks finished with a mark of 17-9 in 2024-25.

is a guard who really plays with a lot of confidence. She handles the ball well against pressure, and she can be aggressive attacking the gaps getting to the hoop. She sees the floor well finding her open teammates whether she drives and kicks it out or finds a post player on the block. She can certainly score herself on all levels making it difficult for players to know how to guard her.

was pushing the tempo finding her open teammates up the court or taking it all the way herself. When she wasn’t handling the ball, she filled in open lanes being ready for the pass and bucket in transition. She ran full speed knowing how to take her time on fast break layups. Her ability to grab steals was a momentum shifter as she scored off these turnovers on solo fast breaks.
