Edward Waters Crushes Rival Florida Memorial

JACKSONVILLE, Florida -- In front of a near capacity crowd Friday evening at the Adams-Jenkins Community Sports & Music Complex, Edward Waters (3-3) played arguably its most complete game of the young season in a 91-62 dominating victory over archrival Florida Memorial (1-3). The 91 points is the highest point output for an EWC team since the 2016-17 season, when the Tigers scored 90 in a home victory over conference foe Talladega.

The visitors from Miami Gardens led by as much as four points at the beginning of the contest, but after that, Edward Waters went on a tear both inside the paint and from the perimeter. The Tigers connected on a season-high 11 three-pointers on the night, outshooting the Lions 45.5% to 38.3%. Edward Waters also picked things up on the defensive end, forcing 16 FMU turnovers, while only committing a season low five of their own.

Just four days after scoring 30 points in EWC's victory over Warner, Jontavius Littles went on another scoring tear, leading a quartet of Tigers in double figures. The Jacksonville native scored a game-high 23 points on 10-of-15 shooting, and went 3-of-5 from three-point range. Both Will Ibeh and Markel Williams had 16 points a piece for the Tigers, and Harlan Williams, Jr. had 14 points off of the bench for EWC as well.

Florida Memorial was led by Jordan Collins with 11 points and Jordan Martin with 10.

EWC will travel across town to face North Florida in an exhibition game on Wednesday, November 14th. Tip-off from the UNF Arena is set for 7:00pm and the game will be carried via the EWC Sports Network. Coverage will begin at 6:45pm with the "Pepsi Pregame Show" and can be heard at https://radioking.com/radio/wewc with the "Voice of the Tigers" Joshua C. Jackson providing the play-by-play.
