RazorSharks sign two from championship team

September 21, 2006 - American Basketball Association (ABA)
Rochester RazorSharks News Release


Rochester, NY. The defending ABA champion Rochester RazorSharks announced the signing of 6-3 guard Demond Stewart and 6-8 forward Brian Edwards, both who starred for last season's championship team. Stewart and Edwards were the only two players who played in all regular season and playoff games for the RazorSharks in their inaugural season.

"Demond was our most efficient player the last half of the season," said RazorSharks Head Coach Rod Baker. "He made the most out of every opportunity and I look forward to him taking on more scoring this coming season. Brian filled an important role when James Reaves was injured up front last season, and he has worked hard over the summer so we will depend on him more for our front court toughness."

Rochester native Demond Stewart was tied for third with Keith Friel in scoring during the regular season last year averaging 15.6 points per game. Stewart also averaged 3.9 rebounds per game, 1.3 assists and 1.3 steals. He led the RazorSharks in playoff scoring including a team-high 27 points in the ABA championship game.

Edwards, a native of Detroit, averaged 8.1 points off the bench and contributed 3.9 rebounds. His previous ABA experience included Detroit, St. Louis and Cincinnati and he has played internationally in Mexico, Argentina and France.
