The Enloe Eagles jumped out on the Bulldogs right away led by Owen Pedersen Owen Pedersen 6'4" | SG Enloe | 2024 State NC and the playmaking ability of Fisayo Adebimpe Fisayo Adebimpe 6'2" | PG Enloe | 2023 State NC . An early 11-2 run forced Southeast Raleigh to call a timeout with 2:21 left in the first quarter. The Eagles would keep things going with some big contributions from Jason Okoro off the bench and after one, they led 13-4.
In the second quarter, the Bulldogs showed signs of life towards the end of the half with two big 3-pointers from Jordan Johnson. However, they still trailed by double-digits at the half: 26-14.
Owen Pedersen Owen Pedersen 6'4" | SG Enloe | 2024 State NC led the way for the Eagles at the half with 10 points with Gift Moses Gift Moses 6'6" | SF Enloe | 2024 State NC behind him with six points.
Things opened up a lot more for Enloe High coming out of the half as they outscored the Bulldogs 19-9 with big quarters from Moses, Pederson, Adebimpe and Ethan Montague Ethan Montague 6'4" | CG Enloe | 2023 State NC . Montague led the way for the Eagles in the end with 19 points. The Bulldogs would make a late run in the fourth quarter and get the deficit to 13 points, but the Eagles would slow down the run and in the end, they got a 57-44 victory.
Montague was an all-around presence for the Eagles in their victory. He finished with 19 points while showing off his ability to move without the ball and finish in traffic while also knocking down shots on the perimeter off the bounce. He continues to emerge as a top unsigned senior in the Raleigh area to know as they approach the bulk of conference play.
Pedersen is another name that’s emerged from the Eagles rotation in NC’s 2024 class. He finished with 12 points (10 points in the first half) to pace the offensive attack for the Eagles. He’s more than just a scorer though as he showed he could rebound the ball and get his nose dirty on the defensive end. He’s a 6-foot-4 wing to get to know with Enloe High.
Highlights
Adebimpe was impressive in controlling the tempo early and finding his teammates early for easy scores. He finished with six points, six assists and five rebounds to show off his ability to do more than score at the floor general spot. He even took a charge early in the first quarter. He’s an unsigned senior for DIII and JUCO programs to get eyes on.
Moses was the Eagles second-leading scorer in the victory, finishing with 16 points on the offensive end. He was his usual active self on the defensive end, finishing with nine rebounds and two blocks as well to show off his ability to be an anchor on defense. He continues to climb up the radar as a DII/DIII prospect with length at 6-foot-6 for colleges to get to know.
