Season Outlook: While Edgewater bowed out in the regional semifinals last year, the Eagles are locked and loaded for the 2022 season with 16 of 22 starters return and that will make them one of the teams to beat in Class 3M. Coach Duke cites team leadership being one of the biggest strengths coming into the season and will have that with Cedric Baxter who has been one of the key stars the last couple of years. However, Edgewater will face some challenges with depth at the start but should be expected to improve as the season progresses as the team “Gets better one day at a time,” according to Coach Duke while the team competes in a tough district that includes Orlando Jones.
