Jamaica National Racquetball Team
World Championships 2002 - Puerto Rico
The men's team would surprise the Koreans by matching them point for point in the first game. Edwards and doubles partner Don Bryan would draw encouragement from the fact that they scored 12 points against this higher ranked team even though they would lose the first game. Game two would see the Koreans continue the momentum but eventually Bryan would frustrate the opponents with his aggressive front court play and the Jamaicans would win the second game by a score of 15-7. This would mean an unexpected tie breaking game to 11 points which would decide the winner.
As word quickly spread, the crowd grew rapidly to see these two teams battle in the third game. The Jamaicans would keep the same strategy and move point by point until they were locked into a 9-9 tie. Korea would lose the serve on a forehand kill shot by Bryan from the back court. Edwards would then serve for the go ahead point. The Koreans had decided to go after Edwards who would then shoot a kill shot to the front right corner to move the Jamaicans within one point of the victory. The Koreans would force the game onto Edwards side again and force him to shoot a pinch rollout shot to win the match.
Also making it into the medal rounds in the singles division was Bryan who would defeat Ecuador and Australia to earn his silver medal.
