Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Edison). They came out on top in a nail-biter against the Killian Cougars on Tuesday, sneaking past 61-58. This was a revenge game for the Red Raiders: when they faced off against the Cougars back in December of 2024, they had to take a 66-48 defeat.
Leading Edison to victory were Jean Viterlens Joseph and Steven Juarez. Joseph almost dropped a double-double on ten points and nine boards, while Juarez went 6 for 13 on his way to 16 points. Joseph has been hot recently, having also posted two or more blocks the last three times he's played. Issaiah Nonomme was another key player, going 5 of 10 en route to 10 points and three steals.

Perhaps the best among them was Christian Torres, who posted 25 points and six rebounds. Another player making a difference was Derico Taylor, who went 6 for 13 on his way to 13 points and six boards.
