As he approaches 2,000 career points and 500 assists, senior guard Zeke Brock of Cape Fear Christian Academy had to resolve a little problem before the Eagles took on visiting Lee Christian in Mid-Carolina 1-A Conference basketball on Tuesday night.
The blue and gold sneakers that Brock has been wearing this seasson were locked up in a vehicle and Brock did not have access to the key.
The situation was taken care of as Brock borrowed some shoes from assistant coach Parker Watson before scoring a season-high 44 points in an 88-50 win over the Falcons. He added 10 assists.
CFCA swept five games from Lee on Tuesday and Wednesday.
On Tuesday, the junior varsity boys took their eighth straight win, 53-24, and the varsity girls downed the Lady Falcons, 51-27.
In middle school matchups on Wednesday, CFCA’s boys improved to 6-1 with a 44-41 victory and the Eagle girls remained unbeaten in the MCC, 52-10. The boys played first on Wednesday because the Lee girls went to the wrong site and were late arriving.
Varsity boys
Caden Scarborough added 21 points as the Eagles improved to 9-8 overall and 5-2 in league play.
“Zeke was tremendous offensively, along with Scarborough,” said CFCA coach Dwain Ellis. “Our entire team was focused and executed on defense. We showed improvement from the last matchup with them.”
The Eagles won, 73-66, at Lee Christian on December 11.

CFCA coach Ray Butts liked what he saw from a newly-installed triangle offense.

Junior varsity boys
CFCA (8-1, 5-0 MCC) got 17 points, five rebounds, four steals and a blocked shot from Conner Parrish.
