Without Zeke Brock, Cape Fear Christian Academy’s varsity boys basketball team has a new look this season.

Fourth-year Eagles coach Dwain Ellis liked what he saw in a 75-37 win over visiting Kerr-Vance on Thursday night.

“For the first outing, we did a great job playing team basketball,” Ellis said. “This team is built of mostly Juniors who have worked extremely hard to make a name of their own.

“Foul trouble was a problem early in the game, but we played through the calls and had a great overall team performance.”

Junior Kayden Dunkins had several dunks and a game-high 23 points. Junior Caden Scarborough had 22 points.

Cade Godwin and Lathan Wilborn scored 10 points each Junior Elijah Ellis had eight points. Juniors Justin Chestnut and Conner Parrish added two points apiece.

Ellis had 10 assists and six steals. Scarborough had seven rebounds and five assists. Godwin finished with five assists and nine steals Dunkins totaled five rebounds.

Brick scored over 2,000 points in his career at CFCA and is now a freshman in the program at William Peace in Raleigh. he missed an exhibition game at Davidson on Monday night due to an ankle injury.

CFCA was scheduled to play a varsity girls game against the Vikings but it was canceled because of a lack of players for Kerr-Vance.

The Eagles varsities will play Southeastern Christian of Shallotte in the first round of the Senior Classic on Friday, November 15 at CFCA. The girls game is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. and the boys are scheduled for 7 p.m.
