Edgewater Is Back & Ready To Contend

After coming up short last season in the 7A state title game, Head Coach Cameron Duke and Orlando Edgewater are hungry for more in 2020.

Coming into last year’s 7A state championship game against national powerhouse St. Thomas Aquinas, nobody was giving the Eagles a shot at keeping the game close against the Raiders.

The entire week before the contest in Daytona Beach, this program was told that this is a different stage – and even though they rolled over another state power, Seffner Armwood, there was simply no way that they had a chance. Perhaps they didn’t realize that head coach Cameron Duke has been down this road before – and his lineage in this sport went back decades with some impressive teams, players and coaches. When then junior Christian Leary Christian Leary 5'11" | 185 lbs | WR Edgewater | 2021 State FL began to rip off long runs and pulled away from the speedy Raiders’ secondary more than one time, it was certainly game on – and Edgewater football was going to be a player last season and for years to come. It took a game-ending interception in the end zone for the unbeaten Raiders to beat Edgewater 28-23, but it also served notice that this program was indeed one that was not going away, and as they approach the 2020 season, the schedule is a lot tougher, but the objective is the same – and will be the same as long as Duke and this coaching staff are in place.
