Edwards sits as the only coach in the four year history of the CVCC Women’s Basketball program. He has gone 82-30 in his 4 years and has had a winning season each of the years he led the Buccaneers program. This last year marked his most successful to date going 29-0 in the regular season and posting a 14-0 conference record to claim the first Carolinas-Virginia Conference title for the women’s basketball team in program history. The Bucs finished the regular season ranked 3rd in the NJCAA national poll, and saw Anika Jones named Region X Player of the Year and Coach Edwards named Region X Coach of the Year. When asked about his final season with this group Coach Edwards said, “I would classify my final season as the DREAM SEASON, by winning 30 consecutive games before losing to Louisburg College in the regional tournament finals. This season exceeded all of my expectation, by winning the conference, being ranked 3rd in the nation, and having the opportunity to coach an outstanding group of you ladies.”
