ROYCE EDWARDS
School: Rangeview High School
Year: Sophomore
Height: 5-foot-10
2022-23 averages: 11.9 points, 4.6 assists, 2.1 rebounds, 2.0 steals
Season highlights: Depleted by graduation and a slew of injuries, the Raiders went into the season with a vastly different look, yet still managed to go 11-13 and extend its streak of qualifying for the postseason to 14 straight seasons, despite a smaller playoff field in Class 6A (32 teams as opposed to 48). Edwards saw action in a handful of games last season, but excelled as a starter in his sophomore season as the team’s leader in scoring, assists and steals. The 6A All-City League first team pick scored a season-high 29 points against Westminster and made it into double figures in 15 games, boosted by 33 made 3-pointers. Edwards had one double-double on the season with 12 points and 12 assists against Hinkley. He earned selection to the A-Town All-Star Game for the first time.
Edwards vs. Aurora teams: vs. Smoky Hill (18 points, 5 assists, 3 steals); vs. Regis Jesuit (12 points, 5 assists); vs. Grandview (11 points, 5 assists); vs. Vista PEAK (14 points, 4 steals); vs. Hinkley (12 points, 5 rebounds, 12 assists); vs. Aurora Central (7 points, 6 assists, 4 steals)
Go Royce! You’re so amazing!🥰
