Edmondson's Redstorms (formerly known as Redskins) hold many athletic championships around the city. In the 2006-2007 academic year, their varsity football team were the 2A State Champions [ [http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/highschool/bal-edmondson,0,2146889.special?coll=bal-utility-highschoolsp "The Big Game" - The Baltimore Sun] ] and the varsity wrestling team were the city Champions.
