Xavier Edwards and his Norristown High teammates thrived against Lower Merion with their ball movement and unselfishness.

“We played like we always do, as a team,” the 6-foot, 190-pund senior guard said. “There are no individuals on this team. We’re a brotherhood.”

Edwards was one of five double-digit scorers for the Eagles as they topped Lower Merion, 71-61, Saturday afternoon in the second annual Diane Mosco Foundation Shootout at Archbishop Wood.

Edwards (17 points), Aaron Reddish (13), Tyler Lyons (11), Nazir Kinney (11), and Mickeel Allen (10) led the way for Dana “Binky” Johnson’s squad.
