RICHMOND, Ky. – Over the spring and summer (and now fall), we will be profiling members of the Eastern Kentucky soccer team. Next up: junior Sutton Edwards.
 
Sutton, an elementary education major from Huntington Beach, California, is a master defender and a master of the Rubik's Cube.

EKUSports: When did you figure out that you could solve a Rubik's cube?

Sutton Edwards: My fifth grade teacher actually taught us.

ES: Where did you go to school?

SE: I'm from southern California, so I went to school in Fountain Valley, California.

ES: So, every kid in your class could solve a Rubik's cube?

SE: Not every kid, but it was kind of like a big deal, so all the cool kids learned how to solve it. It was definitely a big deal in the class.

ES: What's the trick to solving a Rubik's cube?

SE: It's a specific set of patterns, so there's a pattern to the way you move the cube to get it to do what you want.

ES: Have you ever tried to time yourself while doing it?

SE: Yeah, we had competitions in class. We used those cup stack mats where you put your hands on the mat and when you lifted your hands the timer started. We'd put the cube in the middle and your hands on the timer and then see who won.

ES: Did you win any competitions?

SE: Um, no. There were some kids that were really fast.

ES: Have you continued to solve Rubik's cubes?

SE: I can still do it, just not as fast. I haven't done it in a while.

ES: Well ... it just so happens, Sutton, that we have a RUBIK'S CUBE! (presents Rubik's Cube to a bewildered Sutton)
