Going North, Dakota

It wasn’t that long ago that one of the major questions going into the season was who would fill the defensive void left by former defensive player of the year and The Captain, Rapheal Davis.

Mostly, it seemed, the weight of this gap would fall on two players shoulders. Vincent Edwards, the captain of the unheralded team, and a bit of do everything forward who could shift between the wing and the post. His length and smarts would make up for any lack of lateral quickness, and he went into the off season with a renewed focus on becoming a plus defender.
