The Louisburg High School Athletics Hall of Fame is pleased to announce the Hall of Fame Class of 2026. Our first inductee is Freddie Edwards.
Coach Edwards’ volleyball program became the standard of excellence in the state of North Carolina during his tenure. His teams captured state championships in 1988 and 1989, and earned five state runner-up finishes in 1986, 1990, 1992, 1993, and 1997. Coach amassed a final record 406–60. Over his last 14 seasons at LHS, only one team failed to reach the state’s Final Four.
Beyond the victories and accolades, Coach Edwards’ greatest legacy was the impact he made on the lives of his athletes. He worked tirelessly to identify and develop young talent, encouraging future players to attend LHS volleyball camps and discover their potential. He challenged his athletes to pursue excellence in every aspect of life, inspiring them to dream boldly, lead with confidence, and give their best in every endeavor. His influence has left a lasting mark on Louisburg High School and its community.
Freddie will be inducted on Saturday, October 17, 2026 at Louisburg Magnet High School. The banquet will be held at 6:00 p.m., and tickets will be $30. Tickets will be available near August 1. Please join us to honor the legacy of Coach Freddie Edwards.
