"Coach Edens was an inspirational coach who transformed boys into responsible men. Even in his retirement he continues to be the standard that Athletic Directors and Coaches in Southern California hold themselves to, and rightfully so. He is an inductee of the San Diego Hall of Champions and has been an honoree of countless organizations."
