What do they love most about playing their sport(s)?

Ashton loves the competition and skill of the game. As point guard, he loves making the plays and running the court.


Who inspires them—on or off the field—and why?

Ashton is inspired by his mom, Anthony Edwards. His mom pushes him to be the best every day and displays unconditional love. Ashton feels Anthony Edwards is the best basketball player with amazing game knowledge.


What’s one moment in their athletic journey that makes you proudest?

Ashton’s will and drive to never give up. Every game he gives it his all. One moment I am proud of is when Ashton decided to coach and mentor kids younger than him so they could learn the game. Watching him mentor the little kids and coach them was a really proud moment for me as a parent.
