Cape Fear Christian Academy’s varsity boys basketball team jumped out to a 29-4 lead in the first quarter and defeated visiting Lighthouse, a homeschool association based in Wake Forest, 87-30 in CFCA’s season opener on Tuesday night.

The clock started running continuously in the third quarter.

E.J. Bethea led CFCA with 23 points, Dillon Butler scored 15, Riley Adams totaled 13 and Parker Watson added 12 in J.D. Johnson’s first game as coach at the area program.

Johnson liked CFCA’s intensity on defense and unselfishness on offense. Effective ball movement produced 11 made baskets from beyond the arc.

Post player Michael Okoye had six points in the win. Scoring four points each were Lucas Capalbo and Richard Edwards. Marcus Owens and Spencer George had three points each. Eli O’Brien and Ramiro Arrillaga contributed two points apiece as every player who dressed got into the scoring column.

A moment of silence was held for 2018 CFCA graduate Geremiah Olvera prior to the varsity boys game. Olvera, a freshman at Campbell, was killed in an automobile accident on Monday night. Olvera was not at fault, according to the highway patrol.

Lighthouse won the varsity girls game, 49-40, despite 14 points from eighth-grader Meredith Taylor. Anslee McLamb scored nine for the hosts.

CFCA got four points each from Kristen Bass, Leah Brannon, Meghan Taylor and Talisha McNeill. Jada Horne added one point.
