Like many high schools, Lake Braddock’s fall sports, including football, were cancelled due to the pandemic. In his junior season in 2019, Edwards led the Bruins to a 10-3 record, completing 58% of his passes for 2,677 yards, 31 touchdowns, and just 6 interceptions. You can check out some of his junior year highlights below.
