"It was in the first quarter of Wednesday night's Pacific League basketball opener between host Arcadia and rival Pasadena that 6-foot-8 sophomore Owen Eteuati Edwards let everyone know how smart and effective he has become. Facing Pasadena's 6-11 Josh Irving, a Texas A&M commit, he attacked, scored and drew the foul. He ended up fouling out Irving in the fourth quarter of Arcadia's 58-53 victory."
"He repeatedly and smartly got Pasadena players off balance and fouling with pump fakes. He finished with 18 points and was 10 of 13 on free throws. "It was feel for the game," Edwards said. "It was strategy. I was playing my game and trusting my teammates. It was a great win." Arcadia (6-1) received unselfish passing to get shots off Pasadena's 2-3 zone."
