PHILADELPHIA, Pa. (Feb. 3, 2026) - There's a new name at the top of the Georgian Court Men's Basketball career scoring record.
Cam Edmonds has taken over as the Lions all-time points leader, doing so late Tuesday night as Georgian Court was on the road at Jefferson. Edmonds entered the game needing 18 points to break the record. He was at 10 at the half and sat at 11 late in the second half before getting hot. He hit a three, then was 2-2 at the line and on his final shot of night, sank another three to give him 19 points and a new GCU record.
Things didn't go quite as well for the rest of the Lions. After a tight first half, Jefferson opened things up in the second on their way to an 81-58 win.Â
