Coach Jaron is no stranger to Bowling Green, as he was a 2010 graduate and former basketball coach at BGS.

As a dynamic player for BGS, he was part of the MAIS State Runner-Up team in 2010, named first-team all-district twice, district MVP twice, first-team All-South State twice, first-team All-MAIS, and the 2010 MAIS MVP. He continued his basketball career at the collegiate level when he played for two years for both William Carey University and Mississippi College.
Edwards served as the coach for the J.V. Boys from 2015-2019, varsity boys from 2016-2019, and also assisted with the varsity girls from 2015-2017. During that time, he secured two J.V.

He also has experience coaching on the AAU level as he is currently the head coach for the Washington Parish Hoosiers travel ball team.

In addition to his coaching experience, Jaron is a Soldier in the Louisiana Army National Guard. Coach Jaron is excited about this new season of his coaching career with the Buccaneer family. “I am grateful for the opportunity to come back to Bowling Green to pursue my passions of teaching and coaching.
