Zeke Brock scored 51 points for the Cape Fear Christian Academy varsity boys basketball team in a 66-55 nonconference win over Falcon Children’s Home at CFCA on Monday night.
The Eagles trailed 18-12 after eight minutes and were down, 28-27, at the half.
“We tried a half-court press to slow down their speedy point guard,” said CFCA coach Dwain Ellis. “We were very successful with it in the long run. We played solid defense and did a great job rebounding. We got a jump start from the young guys on the bench in the third quarter that got us the lead. …
“Zeke didn’t do bad either.”
Big scoring nights are customary for Brock, a junior guard who is averaging 36.7 points per game, which ranks fourth nationally in MaxPreps. Brock had 48 on Friday night in a 90-61 Homecoming win over Cresset for his career best for the Eagles. His personal high total for CFCA was exceeded in less than 72 hours.
